3, Blossom Street, Cambridge, CB1 2NQ

This delightfully charming two-bedroom period cottage is situated on Blossom Street in central Cambridge and combines original character with a thoughtfully extended ground floor space and a private east-facing courtyard garden.

Period features run throughout, with fireplaces and exposed floorboards lending warmth and character at every turn.

The sitting room to the front sets the tone, leading through to the extended rear of the house, where the kitchen opens onto a flexible space that works equally well as a study or a breakfast area.

The layout makes the most of the cottage's footprint, with the extension adding genuinely usable everyday living space.

Off the courtyard, an external utility space houses the boiler along with plumbing for a washing machine and a separate WC alongside.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and has built-in wardrobes set neatly into the alcoves, a smart use of the period proportions.

The second bedroom and the bathroom complete the first floor. Above, a loft room is currently used as an artist studio and offers a wonderfully versatile retreat.

Accessed via a pull-down ladder, it has restricted head height, with Velux windows drawing in natural light - an inspiring spot for creative work, a hobby room or quiet study.

Outside, the east-facing courtyard garden is a private and low-maintenance space that catches the morning sun, ideal for relaxing and entertaining through the warmer months.
