Summary - 38 CITY ROAD CAMBRIDGE CB1 1DP
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Characterful central home with garden and city roof terrace.
Victorian mid-terrace with period sash windows and high ceilings
A distinctive Victorian mid-terrace arranged over two floors, this 3-bedroom home combines period character with a striking two-storey rear extension and private roof terrace. The layout offers two reception rooms, a study and two bathrooms, delivering flexible family or professional accommodation in the heart of Cambridge’s Kite area. The west-facing garden and roof terrace are genuine extras for central city living.
The interior blends original features — sash windows, restored floorboards and high ceilings — with contemporary fittings, including a modern kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances. Heating is mains gas via a boiler with underfloor distribution, and the property extends to about 1,160 sqft, providing comfortable living space for a growing household or a high-demand rental in a central location.
Notable practical points: the house is solid-brick Victorian construction with no known cavity insulation, an EPC rating of D (64), and council tax at Band E. There is no off-street parking; residents’ permit on-street parking applies. The plot is small and the property sits on a busy urban street in an area recorded with very high local crime figures, which is an important consideration for some buyers.
For buyers seeking central convenience and charm, this house offers an opportunity to move into a prime Cambridge location close to shops, parks and colleges. For those considering energy upgrades or long-term savings, there is clear scope to improve thermal performance and EPC rating. Overall, the property suits homeowners who prioritise location, character and usable outdoor space while accepting the trade-offs of city-centre living.
