About
Charming three bedroom terraced house with no onward chain Description A charming and well-proportioned three-bedroom Victorian terraced house situated in a popular and convenient location just 0.2 miles from the river Cam and a mile from the city centre, offering versatile accommodation across two floors and a generous rear garden.
The property opens into a bright and welcoming sitting room positioned at the front of the house, featuring a large window which allows for plenty of natural light.
This leads through to a spacious dining room, ideal for entertaining, with stairs rising to the first floor and access through to the kitchen.
To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated oven and hob, and space for further appliances, with a window overlooking the garden and a door providing direct access outside.
The first floor offers three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, suitable for family use, guests, or a home office.
A family bathroom completes the first floor. There is also roof space which offers potential for further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The property which has a gas fired central heating system in situ can be seen in great detail on the attached floorplans and is offered with no onward chain.
There is a side pedestrian passage to the side of the property which is shared by the immediate neighbours and leads to their respective gardens, and as a consequence has larger first floor accommodation.
