A substantial Edwardian mid-terrace in highly sought-after Newnham, this double bay-fronted town house combines generous living space with period charm. High ceilings, sash-style bay windows and a decorative cast-iron fireplace give principal rooms strong character, while a flexible layout includes a sitting room, study with log burner and a spacious kitchen/dining room opening onto the garden.
The property sits within easy reach of Cambridge city centre, local shops, excellent schools and riverside walks to Grantchester, making it well suited to families who value location and community. Practical features include an en suite principal bedroom, a separate utility room, garage parking and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
The house has been well cared for but presents scope to update and personalise: some elements reflect lived-in presentation and the solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The plot is typical for the area — a small rear garden and a long, narrow footprint — so outdoor space is private but limited. Council tax is high and buyers should factor in possible modernisation, insulation and wiring upgrades if desired.
Overall this Edwardian townhouse offers a rare combination of period detail, size (approximately 1,443 sq ft) and a premier west-city Newnham address. It will appeal to families seeking nearby schools and city access, or buyers looking to add value through sympathetic updating.
