About
An imposing 1930's semi-detached, 5 bedroom family home, offered chain free.
The property has been extended and modernised and is located within the catchment of both Mayfield Primary School and the outstanding Chesterton Community College.
The spacious accommodation expands to over 2,100sqft, having been cleverly extended to now provide for an expansive family home.
Period features such as round bay windows, paneled doors and fireplaces sit seamlessly along side modern comforts.
On the ground floor there is a large front reception room with working fireplace and large round bay window.
The hallway leads through to the wonderful kitchen/dining room, which overlooks the 180ft garden via a wall of sliding doors.
The kitchen itself is high quality with granite worktops, plenty of cabinetry and integrated appliances including oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge freezer and coffee machine.
There is an instant hot water tap, undermount sink and an additional breakfast bar for informal dining.
The second reception room can be accessed from the hallway or the dining area, and contains another working fireplace.
Completing the ground floor, off the hallway there is an understairs WC and access to the large lean-to at the side of the property, which offers excellent additional storage, with power, and through access from the front of the property to the garden.
The first floor has two large double bedrooms and a single room. The double room to the front has bespoke alcove storage and a wonderful round bay window.
The double room towards the back enjoys views over the garden, as well as bespoke storage.
The family bathroom has superbly well appointed with a bath, separate shower, WC, large vanity unit and storage cupboard.
The second floor landing is flooded with light from the impressive gable window. The front bedroom is a good size with clever use of the eaves for storage.
The rear bedroom is a double and has a Juliet balcony facing the garden. There is a shower room with corner shower, WC, vanity unit and heated towel rail.
The beautiful rear garden is over 180ft in length and has boarder shrub beds, raised patio, storage shed and large lawn.
To the front of the property there is off-road parking for 2 cars and a EV charger served by solar panels.
This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a substantial family home in an enviable location.
Gilbert Road is a hugely desirable road offering easy access to the center of Cambridge and also out towards the A14 and M11.
