Description

This three-bedroom detached well proportioned home is light, bright, and well presented throughout, and has been thoughtfully updated and has scope to extend (subject to planning permission).

The front garden is enclosed by a low brick wall with quarry tiled path leading to the front door, bordered by established plants and shrubs. There is off-street parking on the driveway, and side gates lead to the garage and on to the rear garden.

Entering via the front door you are welcomed into a bright hallway featuring original period details, including decorative leaded glass, intricate cornicing, and an archway with plaster corbels. There is also a practical under-stairs storage cupboard and a contemporary downstairs WC.

The dual-aspect living room at the front of the house is flooded with natural light from a large bay window and additional side window. A fireplace with a working log burner provides a beautiful focal point, adding warmth and character to the room. The dining room is also dual aspect, with a door providing direct access to the rear garden.

The contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining area at the rear of the property is a standout feature, providing an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. It is fitted with modern wall and base units, plenty of worktop space as well as a range of integrated appliances, including a double oven with microwave, dishwasher, gas hob, and space for a full-height fridge/freezer. Patio doors open directly onto the expansive, southerly facing garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate WC. The master bedroom spans the front of the property and features a charming cast-iron fireplace. The second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and also includes a cast-iron fireplace. The third bedroom is dual aspect, as are all the bedrooms, providing excellent natural light throughout.

The expansive and established south-facing garden provides a generous level of outdoor entertaining and playing space. The garden includes a patio seating area, garden shed and a section currently used as a vegetable patch. A garage and driveway provide additional storage and off-road parking, with access available via the side passageway.

This wonderful family home is located north of the river Cam and Midsummer Common and is just under two miles from Cambridge's bustling city centre. There are plenty of amenities close by at Arbury Court, and in West Chesterton there is the ever popular Stir café and bakery; The Old Spring, Fort St George and The Tivoli pubs; superb restaurants; Milton Road library; and local shops, takeaways and other businesses towards Mitchams Corner.

The catchment area schools are the very well-regarded Arbury Primary School, a feeder school to Chesterton Community College, which was last rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2025.
