3 bed 1 bath Town House
Spacious Grade II townhouse with south‑facing garden, close to Midsummer Common.
Grade II listed early‑Victorian townhouse, approx. 1,570 sqft
A substantial early‑Victorian Grade II listed townhouse arranged over four floors, offering elegant, characterful living in a central Cambridge location. The house totals approximately 1,570 sqft and retains tall sash windows, high ceilings and original fireplaces, while the lower‑ground level provides a modern open‑plan kitchen/dining area with an exposed brick chimney and included appliances. The private south‑facing rear garden is a rare city‑centre amenity, providing a sunny, secluded outside space.
This home suits families or professionals seeking generous rooms and period charm close to Midsummer Common, local shops and the city centre. Accommodation includes three double bedrooms, three reception rooms, a refitted family bathroom and two WCs, allowing flexible living across four floors. The property previously achieved rental income for one room, indicating optional income potential if desired.
Important practical notes: the house is Grade II listed and lies in a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and can complicate extensions or modernisation. Parking is by residents’ permit/on‑street only; council tax is band E (above average). While the property is well maintained, the listed status means repairs and changes may require specialist consent and can be costlier.
Overall, this is a characterful, spacious town house in a sought‑after central location with a sunny garden and strong lifestyle appeal. Buyers should be comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and on‑street parking arrangements.
