Victoria Avenue

Features

Description

Immaculately presented and beautifully finished, this Cambridge four bedroom family home showcases a striking double bay Victorian frontage and generous accommodation over three storeys. Having called this home for over 20 years, the owners have truly loved how convenient the location has been for them. Residents’ permit parking is also available in the nearby streets.

Inside, the layout works brilliantly. The hallway leads into wonderfully connected living spaces, where dark wooden floors begin and flow through the reception rooms. At the front, the formal living room is bathed in light from a generous bay window. Next door, the snug is a sophisticated and elegant space, centred around a beautiful fireplace that creates a welcoming setting for family gatherings and cosy evenings. An elegant sliding glass door partitions the space beautifully and leads through to the incredible kitchen at the rear.

At the back, the Shaker-style kitchen is incredibly elegant and genuinely jaw dropping, centred around a beautiful island, with tiled floors, vaulted glass roof, integrated double oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and induction hob. There is ample storage, from eye-level and base units to the generous additional space built into the island. A mix of LEDs, pendants and spotlights keeps the space bright all year, and bi-fold doors open directly into the garden. This space is warmed by a water-based underfloor heating system and there is also a handy WC and utility space. A side door off the kitchen provides convenient access to the side of the house for bin storage.

Outside, the garden has a sheltered, private feel and works beautifully as a courtyard-style space with decking, while a mature tree adds an extra sense of seclusion. Rear access makes life easy for bins, bikes and tradespeople.

The first floor offers a split-level landing and continues to showcase lovely period features, including exposed floorboards. There are three comfortable bedrooms and a main bathroom with a bath, sink and WC, along with an additional separate WC.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, spanning the front of the house with generous proportions and offers a wonderfully spacious feel. It features double-glazed sash windows, a charming cast-iron fireplace and a bay window. The second double bedroom is spacious and features an original cast-iron fireplace, while the third bedroom overlooks the garden and works well as a study or a comfortable single room.

The top floor provides a fourth large, dual-aspect bedroom allowing natural airflow, along with a separate shower room, creating an ideal guest suite or private retreat.

This beautiful family home is located just north of the River Cam and Midsummer Common and is less than one mile from Cambridge's bustling city centre. The surrounding streets of Chesterton are known for their strong sense of community.  There are plenty of amenities close by including, The Waterman, The Old Spring, Fort St George and The Tivoli pubs; superb restaurants including the Michelin-starred Midsummer House and Restaurant 22 as well as Margarets bistro, deli, cafes as well as local takeaways and convenience shops.

The catchment area schools are the very well-regarded Milton Road Primary School (a feeder school to Chesterton Community College) and Chesterton Community College, which was rated 'Outstanding' again in 2025 by Ofsted. Green spaces such as Jesus Green and Midsummer Common are a stone's throw away, perfect for walks, picnics or morning runs. The area is very popular with families and professionals thanks to well regarded schools, convenient transport links and the balance of city living with plenty of nature on the doorstep.

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