Elegant Grade II Listed townhouse in the heart of Cambridge
Description
This charming early Victorian townhouse on Newmarket Road offers a rare blend of period elegance and modern comfort, arranged over four spacious floors and extending to approximately 1,570 sq ft.
Built in the 1840s and Grade II Listed, the property retains a wealth of character features including tall sash windows, high ceilings, and original fireplaces, while benefiting from thoughtful improvements throughout.
The ground floor welcomes you with an enclosed porch leading to a bright hallway and rear lobby, with access to a cloakroom and the south-facing garden. Two interconnecting reception rooms provide versatile living space, filled with natural light.
On the lower ground floor, a stylish open-plan kitchen and family area create the perfect hub for modern living, complete with exposed brickwork, a wood-burning stove, and integrated appliances that remain with the sale. Broad steps lead directly to the beautifully landscaped garden, offering privacy and mature planting.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms are arranged over two floors, complemented by a refitted family bathroom. The top-floor bedroom boasts extensive built-in storage and has previously been successfully let.
Outside, the delightful south-facing garden is a true highlight, designed for relaxation and entertaining in a tranquil setting, just moments from Midsummer Common and the city centre.
