An impressive, newly renovated five-bedroom detached home set on a generous plot in one of Cambridge’s most sought-after streets. The house balances formal spaces — a high‑ceiling sitting room with a contemporary gas log burner and balcony — with versatile family rooms, a separate study and a large kitchen/dining island that suits everyday family life and entertaining.
Energy features include solar photovoltaic panels with battery storage and a digital reporting system, helping reduce running costs alongside mains gas central heating. The property has been comprehensively updated and presents as well maintained throughout, with landscaped gardens, security lighting, alarm system and ample off-street parking.
Practical points to note: glazing was installed before 2002 and external walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so further energy-efficiency upgrades are possible. The garage is currently used as an art studio, reducing secure vehicle storage unless reinstated. Council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the address and size.
Location is a major strength — a quiet, tree-lined road within easy walking or cycling distance of top independent and state schools, the University Botanic Garden and the city centre. Commuters have convenient access to Cambridge station and the M11. For families seeking space, school access and attractive gardens in central Cambridge, this home offers substantial living with sensible scope for further improvement.
