Alpha Terrace is a traditional
late Victorian early Edwardian Cambridge street and is located off
Trumpington High Street. At its far end, is the local primary
school, Fawcett, making it a no through road to cars. Pedestrians
and bicycles can happily cut through though, which gives excellent
easy access to the guided bus cycleway and to
Addenbrooke‘s.
The front door opens into the
living room where the original sash windows with secondary glazing
overlook the traditional street lined with Sunset Boulevard cherry
trees while the original art nouveau fireplace with fitted shelves
either side fill the room with character. Under the carpet is solid
pine flooring which continues into the dining room. A window from
the dining room overlooks the rear garden while a cupboard under
the stairs provides useful storage.
The kitchen again has the
original quarry tiled flooring and range of pine wall and base
mounted units integrated gas oven 4 ring gas hob, modern combi
boiler and marble worktop inset in pine while a side door provides
access to the rear garden and conservatory. A sliding door to the
rear of the kitchen opens to the bathroom which is fitted with a
modern suite, including a bath with mixer taps and shower
over.
Upstairs are three bedrooms all
of which are fitted with the original sash windows with secondary
glazing, and the pine flooring, currently covered by carpet. The
principle bedroom is of particular note and benefits from a cast
iron fireplace. The property has been historically extended into
the loft where a large Velux window files the room with natural
light providing an ideal work study space.
The south facing rear garden
has been planted with a range of mature trees and shrubs including
beech trees, cherry plum, fig, Fatsia, roses, sarcococca, Clematis
armandii and many more. The garden can be accessed over a right of
way via the back of number 74 through the conservatory but has the
added and rare benefit of access at the rear end of the garden
through the nearby Monkswell through a wrought iron
gate.
Trumpington is a thriving, fast
growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village
identity and sense of community.
It is exceptionally well
located for access into the Addenbrooke‘s campus, out to the M11
and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose
built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk. The city‘s
mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway
cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at
all.
The area has three primary
schools and a brand new state of the art secondary school built in
2016 with excellent sporting facilities. Many of the city‘s finest
private schools are within easy cycling distance. There are also
various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, GP
surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre. There is a major
Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury‘s local.
Trumpington Meadows nature
reserve links Trumpington through to Byron‘s Pool and Grantchester
and there is a second country park between Trumpington and the
Addenbrooke‘s campus. Various bridleways and footpaths lead
immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield,
Barton and Grantchester.
