Kimberley Road

Features

Description

Positioned at the river-end of Kimberley Road in the highly sought after De Freville area, and only a short walk from the river itself and Midsummer Common, is this sympathetically extended Edwardian three-bedroom end of terrace home. 

The house is approached via a small step and along a tiled pathway. The front door opens onto a light and bright hallway with doors to both the front living room and rear dining room. There are a host of period features including the carefully preserved cornicing and both reception rooms feature original fireplaces. The front living room also has a Bath stone bay with timber sash windows. 

Leading off the dining area and down a small run of steps is the generously sized third reception room. With direct access to the rear garden via French doors, as well as additional daylight from the Velux windows this would be an ideal space to work from home. Alternatively, it could be used as a playroom or occasional bedroom.  

The kitchen and breakfast room occupies the rear of the property. There is a new built-in double oven, a gas hob, space for a dishwasher and space for a large fridge freezer. Alongside a sash window with views over the attractive rear garden is a breakfast area. There's also a large pantry cupboard under the stairs. Finally, through from the rear of the kitchen is a separate utility room, downstairs WC and shower room. 

Upstairs, the master bedroom spans the front of house with two sash windows; original wood floorboards; an original fireplace; and a built-in wardrobe.

On this level, with views over the rear garden, there is a second double bedroom. There is also a family bathroom with integrated furniture, WC and a bath. There's an airing cupboard housing the boiler and water cylinder.

The loft has been converted to add a third double bedroom with both a Velux roof window to the front and full width dormer to the rear. There's a built in wardrobe, fitted cupboards and an en-suite shower-room alongside.

The delightful private rear south facing garden can be accessed from both the kitchen or family room. Positioned at the end of the terrace means that there is minimal, if any, overlooking, making for a private and tranquil space. There is a garden shed, with mains power and a side gate for direct access to the street.

This charming terraced Edwardian home is 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 one of the city's most popular and peaceful residential areas.

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

For those commuting to London King's Cross from Cambridge station, the journey can take under 50 minutes.
