Pye Terrace

Features

Description

13 Pye Terrace is a wonderfully maintained, smart and characterful Victorian mid-terrace that sits on a quiet no-through stretch of Church Street in Old Chesterton. Thoughtfully extended both to the rear and into the loft, it provides well-balanced accommodation across three floors, combining period charm with practical modern living. This is a Heritage Home that retains its original character while offering the space and flexibility expected today. A lovely front garden sets the house back from the street, giving it a settled, private feel rarely found this close to the city.

Inside, the living and dining space has been combined into one well-presented room, with a feature fireplace and stained wood flooring lending real warmth and character. An opening leads through to the kitchen, creating a sociable, open-plan flow across the ground floor. The kitchen features a Belfast-style sink, an electric oven and hob, and space for a dishwasher. Off the kitchen, the ground floor extension adds a practical utility room, a shower room, and a dining room with sliding doors opening onto the garden - a bright space for family meals and entertaining alike. 

Upstairs, the principal bedroom spans the full width of the front of the house, with a second bedroom and the family bathroom completing the first floor. The loft conversion provides a third bedroom, with Velux windows to both the front and rear drawing in generous natural light. Sash windows feature throughout the house, preserving its period character. Pye Terrace features a number of attractive fireplaces in several principal rooms, enhancing its sense of heritage and character throughout. A new boiler was fitted at Pye Terrace in 2018. The current owners have carefully maintained and improved the property over the years, including a full rewire and replumb in 2018, a renewed extension roof in 2024, and a fully rebuilt boiler in 2026.

Outside, the private south easterly rear garden includes a large shed, offering useful storage or workshop potential. There is private rear access via a gate at the back of the garden. A historic right of way exists over part of the rear access, although purchasers should rely on their own legal enquiries in relation to the title documentation.

Church Street lies at the heart of Old Chesterton, one of north Cambridge's most characterful pockets, where a village-like atmosphere survives within easy reach of the city centre. The River Cam is moments away, with the historic Green Dragon pub and its riverside beer garden close by, and a footbridge crossing to Stourbridge Common for walks along the river into town. Local shops, cafés and everyday amenities are within walking distance. Cambridge North station is within easy reach for direct trains to London King's Cross, while the city centre is around two miles away by foot or bike along the riverside.

The property is subject to a historic easement relating to rear access within the terrace. The route is currently fenced and has not been in active use for a significant period. Full details are contained within the title documentation and should be verified by a purchaser’s solicitor.
