40, Ditton Walk, Cambridge, CB5 8QE

This characterful two-bedroom end of terrace period cottage on Ditton Walk has been thoughtfully extended to the rear, creating a generous kitchen and breakfast area that opens onto a long garden of around 27 metres.

It is a home that combines period charm with genuinely practical family space. There is no onward chain.

The front door opens into a combined living and dining room, a single flowing space anchored by a bay window to the front and a period fireplace that gives the room its character.

Beyond, the extended kitchen is fitted in a shaker style with solid wood work surfaces, a butler-style sink, an electric stove and space for a dishwasher.

A breakfast bar sits alongside the breakfast area, and sliding doors open directly onto the garden, drawing light through the rear of the house.

A utility area has work surface, cupboards and space for a washing machine, while a shower room and WC complete the ground floor - a very useful addition for a cottage of this size.

Upstairs, the landing has a large cupboard and leads to two bedrooms.

The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house at the front, a comfortable double with the light and proportion the bay frontage allows. The second bedroom is a small double or large single.

The family bathroom sits at the rear and has fitted storage cupboards. The property is double glazed throughout.

Outside, the rear garden is the standout feature, extending to approximately 27 metres and offering considerable scope for planting, entertaining or growing.

Ditton Walk sits in a well-connected pocket on the eastern side of Cambridge, close to some of the city's best open green space.

Ditton Meadows, Stourbridge Common and Coldham's Common are all within easy reach, giving direct access to riverside and common walks.

Cambridge North station is conveniently reached across the Chisholm Trail bridge, and the same route makes for an easy traffic-free cycle into the city centre.

Newmarket Road provides a range of retail nearby, and regular buses run into the centre.
