An attractive bay-fronted Victorian home offering generous and well-balanced accommodation across three floors, positioned in a highly sought-after central Cambridge location close to the River Cam and Jesus Green. Believed to date from around 1860, the property is a fine example of the period, retaining a wealth of character including high ceilings, large sash-style windows and well-proportioned rooms, whilst having been significantly improved and fully modernised, replumbed and re-wired in recent years to create a comfortable and practical home suited to modern living.
The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall which leads through to a bright bay-fronted living room, providing an elegant principal reception space with plenty of natural light. In addition, there is a separate media room/snug offering a versatile second reception room, ideal for a variety of uses including a home office, reading room or additional living space. To the rear, the property opens into an impressive kitchen/dining room which forms the heart of the home, fitted with modern units and enhanced by bespoke tri-fold doors that open directly onto the rear courtyard garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space. A useful utility area and ground floor WC further enhance the practicality of this level. An internal water softener has also been fitted.
The first and second floors provide five bedrooms arranged over two levels, offering flexible accommodation to suit a range of needs. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The layout allows for adaptable use of the rooms, whether for working from home, guest accommodation or additional living space if required. A particular feature of the property is the abundance of storage throughout, with built-in storage in many of the rooms in addition to eaves and loft storage, ensuring excellent practicality.
Externally, the property benefits from a private rear courtyard garden, providing a pleasant outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. There is also the added advantage of a tri-fold gate to the rear, giving access to off-street parking for a vehicle, complete with an electric charging point, a rare and valuable feature for a property in such a central location.
