Positioned in a quiet residential area just off Shelford Road, 29 Scotsdowne Road is a well-proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached home offering a fantastic opportunity for families, first-time buyers, or investors looking to secure a home in one of Cambridge’s most sought-after suburbs. With approximately 85 sq m (914 sq ft) of internal accommodation and a generous rear garden, the property combines practical living space with future potential to modernise or extend (STPP).
The ground floor layout includes two spacious reception rooms: a bright sitting room at the front of the house with a large picture window, and a dining room to the rear with views across the garden. The kitchen, also at the rear, is fitted with a range of units and provides access directly out to the garden via a glazed door.
Upstairs, the property features three bedrooms: two generous doubles and a single, ideal as a child’s room, home office, or guest space. Bedrooms one and two both benefit from built-in storage, and all rooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate WC.
Externally, the property offers a private, mature rear garden with a mix of patio and lawn areas—perfect for summer. To the front, there is a gravelled driveway providing off-street parking, and gated side access leads to the rear. The property also benefits from a detached garage, providing excellent storage or further parking options.
Trumpington is a thriving, fast growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk. The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all.
The area has three primary schools and a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school built in 2016 with excellent sporting facilities. Many of the city's finest private schools are within easy cycling distance. There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, GP surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre. There is a major Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury's local.
Trumpington Meadows nature reserve links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester and there is a second country park between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus. Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
