A significantly extended and much improved, semi detached
home, providing bright, elegant accommodation, set within a
generous 0.17 acre plot, with a lovely mature garden and off road
parking. The property enjoys an enviable position overlooking
Girton College.
The property has been finished to a high standard and has many
lovely character features, whilst at the same time it has a modern
kitchen and bathrooms.
Approached over a block paved front garden, the front door is
set beneath a canopy which provides protection from the elements as
you go in and the entrance hall is welcoming and has the staircase
leading up to the first floor. The sitting room is a bright, dual
aspect room with a window to the front and patio doors to the rear
and there is an attractive sitting area set around the fireplace
and a further sitting study area adjacent to the patio doors. The
formal dining room is currently being used as a second sitting
room, but it is spacious enough to take a generous table and
chairs. The kitchen breakfast room extends across the back of the
house and is fitted with a wide range of cabinets set above and
below the working surfaces. There is a built in microwave and
double oven and hob with extractor over, a ceramic sink and
drainer, and an integrated dishwasher. The dining area is adjacent
to the conservatory and enjoys views over the garden. On the ground
floor, there is also a stunning contemporary shower room and a
utility room that has space for a washing machine and further
appliances as well as a door leading out to the rear garden.
On the first floor the landing opens to three double bedrooms,
a single and a family bathroom. The main bedroom has a built in
cupboard, an en suite fitted with a shower, w.c., and hand basin,
and there are lovely views over Girton College. The second bedroom
has three built in cupboards and views over the college and the
third and fourth bedrooms both have views over the gardens which
are equally lovely. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with
shower over, w.c., and hand basin.
Outside the gardens are meticulously kept and are both
beautiful and mature. There is an area of lawn interspersed with
specimen trees, shrubs, flower borders, and beds. There is a nature
pond, a shed tucked in the corner, and a deck towards the end of
the garden. There is also a patio adjacent to the house that
extends around to a pergola, which would make an ideal spot for
dining or entertaining.
