Glebe Farm Drive, Trumpington, CB2 9PB

A modern three-storey townhouse in Trumpington, set within the established Glebe Farm development and facing towards open parkland, which gives the house a more open and settled feeling than many homes of this type. It offers generous, flexible accommodation with practical appeal. In addition to the living space filled with natural light, an open outlook and the mature garden all help make it feel like a comfortable, well-balanced home.

The ground floor is centred on a bright kitchen, dining and living space, with a lifted part-vaulted ceiling, roof lights and full-height glazing bringing natural light in from above and drawing the eye through to the garden. The kitchen is positioned neatly to one side, leaving clear space for both dining and sitting areas, so the room works well for everyday life as well as for time spent with family and friends. The proportions are generous without feeling impersonal, and the direct connection to the garden gives the main living area a calm, easy quality.

Across the first and second floors are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en-suite, giving the house useful flexibility over time. The arrangement allows for children’s rooms, guest space or a dedicated study, while the principal bedroom occupies a generous position on the top floor. There is a large first-floor landing which offers a further flexible space. The current owners are using this as an extended desk and storage space. This area also benefits from views across the park. A small third-floor balcony adds another point of interest and takes advantage of the house’s open outlook.

The rear garden is a particularly attractive part of the property. It feels green, established and sheltered, with a paved seating area, lawn, planted boundaries and a useful store. The garden is closely connected to the living space inside, which further adds to the feeling of space and light.

Glebe Farm Drive is well placed for Addenbrooke’s, the Biomedical Campus, the M11, guided busway routes and cycle links into central Cambridge. The new Cambridge South Rail Station is only a short distance away, offering easy rail links to London. Trumpington also offers a strong balance of local facilities, green space and access out of the city, making it especially appealing for buyers who need Cambridge connections but want a modern home with space, light and a sense of ease.

This is a thoughtfully arranged house with more warmth and outlook than its practical specification alone suggests.

Trumpington is a thriving, fast-growing part of Cambridge that still retains a strong village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well placed for Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the Biomedical Campus, the M11 and the city centre, with excellent links by car, bus, guided busway, purpose-built cycle routes and on foot.

Cambridge South Station is now open, providing a major new rail connection next to the Biomedical Campus and within easy reach of Trumpington. Cambridge mainline station also remains readily accessible via the guided busway cycle route, avoiding city traffic. The property is around a 5-minute walk from Trumpington Park & Ride.

Local amenities include restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, GP surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre, together with Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Local.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve links the village to Byron’s Pool and Grantchester, with further country parkland between Trumpington and Addenbrooke’s. Numerous footpaths and bridleways lead out towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
