About this property

Detailed Description

An attractive and well maintained three bedroom Victorian terraced home, which has been comprehensively remodelled to an exceptional standard throughout. Occupying a highly sought after position in the northern part of Cambridge, the property is ideally situated for access to a wide range of local amenities, Cambridge railway stations, and the city's renowned science, technology, academic, and biomedical employment hubs. The beautifully presented accommodation extends to approximately 1144 sq. ft., arranged over three floors, sympathetically blending period character with contemporary design, whilst further benefitting from an attractive frontage and a private landscaped rear garden.

The front of the property is approached via an attractive pebble hardstanding providing parking for a small vehicle, with a stepping stone pathway bordered by lavender leading to the entrance door. The frontage is further enhanced by a magnolia tree and a wall boundary.

The fully enclosed rear garden enjoys a desirable westerly aspect and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a variety of outdoor spaces. A paved patio seating area immediately adjoins the property, with steps descending to a Dutch paver pathway bordered by a well maintained lawn and established planted beds featuring a variety of mature shrubs. The pathway continues to a further patio seating area incorporating a mature apple tree, storage shed, and gated rear access. Additional features include external lighting, an outside tap, and an external power point.
