This Victorian bay fronted semi-detached house has been comprehensively renovated and extended to create a special family home with impressive accommodation set over three floors, including a wonderful ground floor arrangement which successfully combines contemporary living with the character of the original period building. The property is located towards the end of a wide and attractive no-through road surprisingly close to the City centre. The large south east facing garden is rare for the area and provides additional work/living space from a superb home studio. Histon Road recreation park adjoins the rear garden and can be accessed from Richmond Road.
The entrance hall has attractive wood flooring and opens into the full-width area of the sitting/living room which continues through to a comfortable seating area with matching wood flooring, a large bay window and decorative period style fireplace. Glazed double doors lead to a useful utility room which provides access to the outside. The stylish kitchen offers an eclectic mix of wall mounted cabinets and freestanding units and drawers, solid wood worksurfaces and space for a wide range of freestanding appliances. The expansive open plan dining/family room is an impressive space which measures 23’1 x 14’1 and enjoys lots of natural light, a high vaulted ceiling with large Velux windows and a stunning apex window with bi-folding doors beneath leading to a large terrace area. A wet room completes the ground floor accommodation. The first floor landing leads to two spacious double bedrooms and a large family bathroom suite with oversized bathtub, walk-in shower and twin wash hand basins. The second landing leads to a spacious double bedroom with ample eave storage space and Velux windows. Outside, there is a neat front garden set behind an attractive brick wall providing side access to the rear. The large rear garden is predominately laid to lawn and has a paved terrace area and long pathway leading to the detached home office which has power and lighting, water supply and a wood burning stove.
Richmond Road lies off Huntingdon Road and is part of a popular and established residential area lying just over one mile north of the City centre. Local shopping facilities are available on Histon Road and the property is close to good local schools including Mayfield Primary and Chesterton Community College. The City centre, Quayside and Jesus Green are all easily accessible on foot or by bicycle. The property is situated on the south east side of road and backs on to Histon Road Recreation Ground.
