Description

Tucked away in a secure gated development, this beautifully presented three-storey home is built in the style of a Victorian terrace with the convenience of modern living. Positioned at the end of the terrace, it enjoys an attractive side bay offering additional living space, and a lovely outlook over the allotments to the front, with the bonus of allocated parking behind secure electric gates.

Inside, the layout feels bright and well-planned. The ground floor opens with a welcoming reception hall and cloakroom. The wide, triple-aspect living and dining space is bright and versatile, with an attractive side bay creating a natural study area and French doors leading out to the garden. The modern kitchen has been recently refitted and is open-plan to the living area, fitted with a range of units, worktops, and integrated appliances.

The home also benefits from air conditioning throughout, making it a very pleasant home to live in during the warmer summer days, but also offering an environmentally-friendly alternative to the gas central heating during the winter months.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room, along with a family bathroom. The second floor is home to a generous double bedroom with Velux roof windows, eaves storage, and a feature porthole window.

The rear garden has been landscaped for easy upkeep, with paved seating areas and well-planted borders. A gate provides direct access to the private, gated parking area where there is an allocated covered parking space immediately next to the rear garden. At the front, a small garden is set behind railings and a secure pedestrian gate, adding to the sense of privacy.

There is an annual service charge for the upkeep of the shared car park and hedge area, which for the current year is £587.28.

New Street sits between St Matthew's Street and Coldhams Lane. This is a residential road in the heart of Cambridge, in an area popular with families, academics and professionals and located within easy reach of Cambridge city centre and the central train station. The neighbourhood is part of the vibrant Petersfield area, close to Norfolk Street and Burleigh Street with their array of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants. The River Cam and Midsummer Common are just a short walk away, offering fantastic open spaces that are perfect for riverside walks and running routes.

The catchment area schools are St Matthew's Primary School, rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, and for secondary, the highly sought after Parkside Academy again last rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. It is also very close to the highly regarded Brunswick Nursery, which was also last rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted.
