This grand bay-fronted Edwardian house occupies a quiet position in this rarely available and eagerly sought-after Crescent, which is a short walk from the city centre, across two of Cambridge’s most beautiful parks.
The original part of the house has elegant and well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and fine period features. Later additions provide useful modern spaces, including an extensive kitchen/diner and a large, light second floor principal bedroom with en-suite. The accommodation is arranged over three light and spacious floors, and in total extends to 2069 sq ft, excluding the garage.
The original partially stained- glass front door leads to an attractive entrance hall, which opens onto two bright reception rooms. The sitting-room has a large bay window overlooking the front aspect and a beautiful period-style fireplace with a built-in bookcase and cupboards to one side. The adjoining living-room is dual aspect, with French doors overlooking a delightful courtyard area. The light and airy, dual-aspect, open-plan kitchen/dining room has been extended and upgraded to provide an extensive, well-equipped modern kitchen with three large sash windows, and a dining area with French doors that open onto the delightful courtyard/patio, which is bathed in sunlight for most of the day - perfect for al fresco dining. The kitchen opens onto a useful utility room, with a separate W.C.
The first floor provides five bedrooms, three of which have built-in double wardrobes, and a family bathroom. On the second floor is an impressive?large en-suite bedroom, with built-in double wardrobes and lovely views through three wide windows across the treetops towards the spires of King’s College Chapel.
Outside, a walled front garden with mature planting screens the front reception room. There is a driveway to the side, which provides parking for one large vehicle, and leads to the brick-built garage and gated side access. Established and well-stocked gardens to the rear offer a variety of seating areas and delightful borders with various flowers, shrubs and small trees, which provide an abundance of colour and interest all year round. At the end of the garden is an area with raised beds, suitable for growing fruit and vegetables, and there are two useful sheds. This sunny, west-facing, well-screened garden offers a peaceful and relaxing outdoor space very close to the city centre.
Chesterton Hall Crescent forms part of a popular residential area just to the north of the city centre and River Cam. Midsummer Common, Jesus Green and the river are close by with local shops on Mitcham's Corner. Primary schooling is at Milton Road and secondary schooling at Chesterton Community College. Chesterton Hall Crescent is a no-through road.
