A superb opportunity to purchase a spacious and well presented three bedroom ground floor apartment in the heart of Trumpington, combining modern, low-maintenance living with exceptional access to some of Cambridge’s largest employment centres and transport connections.
Built in 2018 and offered for sale with no onward chain, 66 Hobson Avenue provides approximately 72.8 sq m / 783 sq ft of accommodation and offers considerably more flexibility than the average apartment. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking to get onto the Cambridge property ladder, a professional working at the Biomedical Campus or a commuter wanting convenient access to London, the location is difficult to beat.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the impressive open plan kitchen / living / dining room. Measuring approximately 5.57m x 5.50m and extending to around 330 sq ft / 30.6 sq m, this is a genuinely generous everyday living space with plenty of room to create separate areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen runs neatly along one side of the room with an excellent range of fitted units, integrated cooking appliances and extensive worktop space. Large windows and a glazed door provide plenty of natural light, while direct access onto the outside terrace extends the living space during the warmer months.
The accommodation continues with three bedrooms, an unusual and particularly useful feature for an apartment of this size. Bedroom One is a generous double measuring approximately 5.48m x 2.98m and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom. Bedroom Two is another good double at approximately 3.45m x 3.25m and has the added advantage of direct access onto the terrace.
Bedroom Three measures approximately 3.36m x 2.84m and offers excellent versatility. It would work equally well as a child's bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office, making the apartment particularly appealing to buyers combining home and office working.
A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and includes a bath with shower over, while the spacious entrance hall provides good separation between the living and sleeping accommodation. Gas central heating completes the internal specification.
Outside
One of the apartment's particularly appealing features is its private outside terrace, accessed directly from both the open plan living room and Bedroom Two. For an apartment, having your own easily accessible outside space makes a real difference, whether for a morning coffee, outdoor seating or simply opening the living accommodation up during summer.
The property also comes with an allocated covered parking space within the development, a valuable addition in this increasingly well connected part of Cambridge.
Location
Hobson Avenue occupies an exceptionally convenient position within the modern Trumpington and Clay Farm community, particularly for anyone working in Cambridge's rapidly expanding southern employment district.
Cambridge South railway station is now open, having welcomed its first services on 28 June 2026. The station directly serves the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and provides connections including London, Stansted Airport, Gatwick Airport and London St Pancras International. Network Rail states that journeys from London can be as little as approximately 45 minutes, making the location particularly compelling for buyers who need regular access to the capital.
The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Addenbrooke's Hospital and Royal Papworth Hospital are all within easy reach, alongside major employers within Cambridge's internationally significant life sciences cluster. The opening of Cambridge South further strengthens the area's credentials for professionals working locally while retaining connections further afield.
Day-to-day amenities are close at hand, including Sainsbury's Local, Nisa and the excellent Clay Farm Centre on Hobson Square. The centre combines a community centre, library and Trumpington Medical Centre, as well as providing rooms for local activities and events. Trumpington also offers numerous community and sporting facilities, while the area's extensive network of cycle routes, green spaces and play areas adds to its appeal for buyers who want city convenience without feeling hemmed in.
Families are also particularly well catered for. Trumpington Park Primary School is actually located on Hobson Avenue and is rated Good by Ofsted, with Good judgements across education, behaviour, personal development, leadership and early years at its February 2022 inspection. Nearby Trumpington Community College is also rated Good overall, with Ofsted judging both the quality of education and leadership and management as Outstanding at its November 2023 inspection. Trumpington Meadows Primary School is another local option rated Good.
Cambridge city centre is readily accessible by bicycle, bus or road, while Trumpington Park & Ride and the Guided Busway provide further convenient alternatives to travelling by car. Clay Farm Centre itself is only a short walk from the Park & Ride and Guided Busway stops.
For a first-time buyer, this is a particularly interesting proposition: Three bedrooms, 783 sq ft of accommodation, private outside space and allocated parking, all within one of south Cambridge's most strategically located modern neighbourhoods. Equally, for professionals at the Biomedical Campus or buyers travelling regularly to London, the arrival of Cambridge South station makes an already convenient location even stronger.
Offered with no onward chain, early viewing is highly recommended.
