Description

Positioned on a quiet residential street in the highly sought after De Freville area, and only a short walk from the river Cam and Midsummer Common, is this wonderful Victorian three-bedroom terraced family home. 

The house is approached via a quarry tiled pathway. The front door opens onto a light and bright hallway with beautiful tiled flooring underfoot. The front living room has beautiful sash windows that sit within the bay window and a Victorian fireplace creating a beautiful focal point and original wood flooring underfoot. At the back of the house is the large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area – a wonderfully open room. Bookshelves and cupboard space are neatly built into the alcoves to the side of the fireplace. 

The well appointed U-shaped kitchen occupies the rear of the property and has contemporary base cabinets. Appliances include a dishwasher, double height electric oven and hob. There is a utility cupboard housing the washing machine and tumble dryer. 

There are a host of other period features including the carefully preserved cornicing, stone bay window, and timber sash windows to the front of the property. 

There is a downstairs WC along with space for coats and shoes including a further storage cupboard under the stairs. 

Upstairs, the current master bedroom is carpeted, and has two fitted wardrobes in the alcoves. The second double bedroom again is carpeted, and there is the smaller third bedroom which is currently being used as a nursery. There is also a bathroom with smart white metro tiles on the walls, integrated furniture, and a bath with shower over.

The wonderful large garden is accessed from the kitchen and dining area. There is a large contemporary patio area, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining, and the rear section is laid to lawn, with well established trees and borders and a children's play area and large shed. The garden has rear gated access, ideal for bikes and buggies.

This wonderful family home is enviably located just north of the river Cam and Midsummer Common, and is less than one mile from Cambridge's bustling city centre, whilst being tucked away in a quiet and peaceful residential area. 

There are plenty of amenities close by including the ever popular Stir café; The Old Spring, Fort St George and The Tivoli pubs; and local shops. The catchment area schools are well-regarded Milton Road Primary School and Chesterton Community College, which was last rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted.
