Southacre Drive is a private
road off Chaucer Road, one of the city‘s most attractive and
prestigious locations. It is a short walk from the University
Botanic Gardens and the iconic riverside commons of Lammas Land,
Sheep‘s Green and Coe Fen. It is very much at the heart of the
historic city yet is peaceful, green and very private.
Chesterford House is one of 6
low rise buildings at the end of the road that form a crescent
around 2 acres of splendid mature gardens and the property occupies
the south west corner of the ground floor with French doors onto
its own private terrace and straight out to the
gardens.
The property briefly comprises an entrance lobby with a built
in cupboard. The open plan living dining room benefits from a duel
aspect a provides ample space for a separate living and dining
table. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of wall and base
mounted units and integrated alliances including oven, microwave
oven and gas hob with extractor over while leaving room for
additional appliances including a fridge freezer, washing machine
and dishwasher.
The three bedrooms are all of a good size with bedroom one
benefiting from a built in cupboard and ensuite shower room. The
family bathroom completes the accommodation and has been fitted
with a white suite with a shower over the bath and finished with
floor to ceiling tiles.
There is a parking space
immediately beside the property and a good number of visitor spaces
nearby, plus covered bike sheds and bin stores. The garages on site
are available to rent, subject to availability.
The apartment has a 984 years
remaining on the lease with a serive cherga of £4308.85 per annum
and is reviewed yearly and adjusted in line with RPI. The service
charge includes upkeep of all grounds, external decoration and
maintenance of all communal areas and private road, the water

apartment.
Cambridge train station is around half a mile away and a 5
minute walk from the University Botanical Gardens. Cambridge City
Centre is less than a mile from the property with its combination
of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes and wide range of
shopping facilities.
Southacre Drive is within walking distance of Cambridge
Leisure, a multi screen cinema and bowling alley complex, which has
a number of well known restaurants and a popular live music comedy
venue, The Junction within the immediate vicinity. Supermarket
