A truly rare opportunity to rent this elegant four-bedroom townhouse in the heart of Cambridge, part of a listed historic terrace overlooking the open green space of Christ’s Pieces, and set within the Kite Conservation Area.

This Grade II listed Georgian property is within walking distance of local amenities, transport links, Parker’s Piece, the River Cam, Grand Arcade, and all the city has to offer.

The ground floor features a generous open-plan space that can be used as a living, dining, or study area, complete with a striking original marble fireplace.

There are also two bedrooms: The front-facing double bedroom overlooks Christ’s Piece and includes a hand-painted wardrobe, television (if needed), a fireplace flanked by bespoke built-in bookshelves, and original period storage; the second bedroom includes built-in bookshelves, storage, and a unique balcony overlooking the garden and Earl Street, ideal as a single bedroom or study.

The top floor offers two further bedrooms with sweeping city views.
