This attractive, bay-fronted Victorian home on Herbert Street provides the perfect crossover of contemporary, functional living with all the character and charm of a fine period home.
Extended, remodelled and tastefully presented throughout, the accommodation spans three spacious floors and benefits from a high degree of natural light and a practical layout. The property would be ideal for families looking to live in a prime central location close to large green open spaces and excellent schools.
The property is accessed through a walled front garden, which provides screening and privacy from mature hedging and space for bicycle storage.
The accommodation comprises a reception hall with a staircase leading to the first-floor accommodation, an impressive open living room (formerly two rooms) with a bay window overlooking the front aspect, two period fireplaces, attractive wood floorboards and an understairs storage cupboard. An extended and redesigned kitchen/dining room enjoys lots of natural light, access and views to the garden. There is a well-equipped kitchen providing a matching range of cabinetry and drawers, working surfaces and space and plumbing for freestanding appliances.
Upstairs, the first-floor level comprises two spacious double bedrooms, a study room and a family bathroom suite with a separate shower cubicle. The impressive second-floor principal bedroom provides an ensuite shower room and generous and bespoke built-in wardrobe.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed with gated pedestrian access and has a west-facing aspect. The garden offers a deep, paved patio area, lawn with established plants and shrubs set to borders and a useful timber storage shed.
Herbert Street is situated in a popular area of Cambridge, lying between Chesterton Road and Milton Road, only a short walk across Jesus Green to the city centre.
