This characterful Victorian end-of-terrace cottage enjoys a rarely available position in the highly regarded Newnham wards. The property has been very well cared for by its owner and has been redecorated throughout, with a new carpet fitted, coupled with a delightful purpose-built studio, located at the foot of the garden and offering versatility to suit individual purchasers' needs.
On the ground floor is an open-plan sitting/dining room which benefits from a dual aspect, is finished with solid wood flooring, and has a feature fireplace, complemented by built-in shelving. The kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, includes various freestanding appliances, and has a door leading to the private rear garden.
Upstairs, the accommodation is split over two floors, the first housing the main bathroom and two double bedrooms, both including built-in cupboards. The master bedroom is located on the second floor, offering plenty of eaves storage, an en suite, and delightful panoramic views over the college playing fields.
Outside, there is ample residents' permit parking. The rear garden extends over 24m (80ft), is mainly laid to lawn, and is bordered with a variety of shrubs and trees. A smart timber garden studio, equipped with power, provides delightful views over the Downing College playing fields.
Selwyn Road lies to the west of the city in the heart of the coveted Newnham area. Local facilities in Newnham include a post office, chemist, butcher, bakery and coffee shop, grocers, Newnham Croft Primary School, and Lammas Land recreation area.
The historic city centre, about 0.5 miles away, can be approached on foot via 'The Backs' and offers an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes, extensive shopping facilities, and scenic walks along the River Cam to the nearby villages of Grantchester and Coton.
The property is ideally positioned for many of the colleges and university departments, with the University Library just a short walk away.
