Spacious period house backing onto Alexandra Gardens, chain free.
Bay-fronted Victorian terrace with original cornicing and woodburner
A handsome bay-fronted Victorian terrace arranged over three floors, this spacious family home offers generous period rooms and a large loft bedroom with views over Alexandra Gardens. The house has been extended to create a flowing ground-floor layout: living room, family/dining room, extended kitchen and a sun room opening to a private, low-maintenance rear garden. Practical updates include double glazing, a combi gas boiler, a burglar alarm and a reroof in 2012. The property is chain-free, ready for immediate purchase and use.
The interior retains many period details – high ceilings, cornicing, original corbels, stripped floorboards and an attractive fireplace with a woodburner – balanced with modern touches such as Corian kitchen worktops and fitted cupboards. The loft conversion provides a large light-filled room and useful eaves storage, adding flexibility for a home office, bedroom or play space.
Notable practical points: there is one family bathroom plus a separate WC, and the plot is small with a mainly brick-and-paved rear garden and a brick storage shed. The house is mid-terrace with solid brick walls (no built-in wall insulation assumed) and sits in a cosmopolitan neighbourhood of students and professionals, close to the river and central Cambridge amenities. Council tax is described as expensive.
This property will suit a family seeking central convenience and character, or an investor looking for strong rental demand in a very affluent, well-connected area. Some buyers may choose to update thermal efficiency or reconfigure facilities to suit modern family living, but the house presents immediate liveability and long-term potential close to green spaces and top local schools.
