Kimberley Road

Features

Description

Positioned at the river end of Kimberley Road and situated within the highly regarded De Freville conservation area of West Chesterton, Cambridge, this terraced Edwardian three-bedroom home offers an excellent opportunity for refurbishment and improvement. Kimberley Road is just a short walk from the River Cam and Midsummer Common, reached by the Fort St George footbridge.

The front garden is enclosed by a low brick wall, with a quarry-tiled path leading to the front door and mostly paved front garden with a Sheffield cycle stand.  Inside, the entrance hall retains some original features, including cornicing and an archway with decorative plaster corbels.

The front reception room is a well-proportioned space with a Bath stone bay window providing good natural light. A light and bright second reception room sits to the rear, offering flexibility as a family room, dining room or study.

Beyond this, there is a breakfast or dining area leading to an L-shaped kitchen and ground floor bathroom, with access out to the rear garden. This layout offers clear scope for reconfiguration and extension, subject to the usual consents, in line with many neighbouring properties.

Upstairs, the split-level landing leads to three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house at the front, while the remaining two bedrooms are both of a good size. 

The rear garden is predominantly paved, with a workshop at the far end and access to a rear pathway leading through to Aylestone Road.

Overall, whilst this is a property requiring modernisation throughout, it offers a fantastic opportunity for a buyer to create a home tailored to their own specification in a highly desirable and well-established location.

This terraced Edwardian 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 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.
