About
A beautiful, period property with a detached double garage and studio, situated opposite the parish church in this popular village, just a short distance from the city centre.
Cambridge City Centre 2.5 miles, Mainline Railway Station 2.5 miles, Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus 2 miles, M11 (junction 11) 1 mile, Waitrose Superstore 0.5 of a mile (distances are approximate).
18 Grantchester Road is constructed with brick and rendered elevations under a tiled roof.
The property is Grade II listed, dating from 1654 and believed to be one of the oldest surviving residential properties in the village.
The current owners have significantly refurbished and reconfigured the majority of the property to an exceptionally high specification to include new boiler, installation of a Tado digital heating control system, water softener unit, new staircase, replacement of the majority of the windows with heritage double glazing, new shower rooms and the original beams and exposed wood flooring have also been refurbished.
The result is an outstanding family home, successfully combining all the charm of a period property with the convenience and styling of a modern building.
The property also benefits from approved planning permission (reference 22/02962/hful & 22/02963/lbc) dated 31 August 2022, to extend to the rear and create a larger kitchen/dining room as shown on page 7.
Grantchester Road is well positioned at the heart of this popular south Cambridge village and is extremely well placed for access to a Waitrose supermarket and a variety of local shops and pubs.
Cambridge city centre is within about 2.5 miles, for which there is a regular bus service and many of Cambridge's leading independent schools, including the Perse, St Faith's, The Leys, St Mary's and The Stephen Perse School (from pre-prep to sixth form) are within close proximity with sixth form colleges in nearby Long Road and Hills Road.
For the commuter, the city's mainline railway station provides services to London's King's Cross and Liverpool Street in approximately 52 and 67 minutes respectively and the M11 (junction 11), offers access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
