About
A very charming and individual, Victorian family home offering spacious and versatile accommodation, occupying a large corner plot with vehicular access, a short distance to the north of the city centre and River Cam.
No onward chain. This fine Victorian residence occupies a generous corner plot, which is conveniently located on a quiet street just off Chesterton Road, opposite Jesus Green and the River Cam.
It benefits from broad, versatile and spacious accommodation with many period features providing an abundance of charm.
Whilst the property has been extended over the years, it is felt that there is further scope for expansion, subject to the relevant consents.
An internal entrance porch opens into the hallway, which has corbels, stairs to the first floor and access to the basement/cellar.
Benefiting from a dual aspect, the living/dining room has an attractive gas fireplace, fitted storage, stripped wooden floorboards and herringbone brick flooring.
The kitchen is replete with a range of fitted units with white worksurfaces and has a side door to the rear garden, space for a fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine, an integrated double oven and a stainless gas hob with an extractor hood over.
Beyond the kitchen, there is a tiled, three-piece wet room and a utility area, which links to an impressive family room.
This room has a vaulted ceiling with roof lights, several glazed doors opening onto the garden, and access to a further room, which could be used as a study or double bedroom.
On the first floor, the spacious landing has a hatch providing access to the attic. The family shower room has a three-piece suite including a double shower cubicle, wash basin and a WC.
There are three comfortable double bedrooms, two of which include feature fireplaces and fitted wardrobes. A further room could be used as a nursery or study.
Outside, the delightful, landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide a space ideally suited to entertaining and relaxing.
It is fully enclosed and features a variety of trees, plants, and well-stocked borders, along with a rill water feature, timber shed and double gates to the side, which provide vehicular access.
