4 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Cambridge, CB5 8DD £1,000,000

To the rear, the impressive sitting room forms part of a double storey extension added in the 1980s, significantly increasing both the footprint and overall flexibility of the home. This wonderfully generous space is enhanced by dual rooflights which flood the room with natural light, while soft carpeting underfoot and a striking stone feature fireplace create a welcoming focal point. Built-in shelving and large glazed doors opening to the courtyard garden complete this superb family living area.

Leading off the sitting room is a useful rear lobby/boot room, providing additional storage and practical access out to the garden — an ideal transition space for coats, shoes and everyday family living.

Also located on the ground floor is a versatile study/bedroom four, complete with fitted storage and soft neutral finishes, making it ideal as a home office or guest bedroom.

The lower ground floor is home to the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is fitted with sleek white wall and base units, brushed chrome handles and pale work surfaces, complemented beautifully by a contemporary sky-blue glass splashback and large format neutral floor tiles. A particular highlight is the range of quality integrated appliances, including not one but two built-in fridge/freezers and not one but two integrated dishwashers — ideal for larger households or those who love to entertain. There is also an induction hob with extractor above, all by reputable manufacturers. The adjoining dining room offers ample space for a substantial dining table, with recessed lighting creating an intimate yet sociable atmosphere.

On the first floor, the spacious principal bedroom — also enlarged as part of the 1980s double storey extension — is a particularly impressive room. Multiple windows allow natural light to pour in, while neutral carpeting and calming cream décor create a peaceful retreat with ample space for substantial bedroom furniture. The proportions of this room would lend themselves very well to the installation of an en-suite, subject to the necessary consents, offering exciting potential for future enhancement.

This floor also provides two further well-proportioned bedrooms along with a separate study
ursery, offering flexibility for family living, working from home or additional bedroom space if required. The family bathroom is well-appointed with bath, W.C. and wash basin, finished in light tones for a clean and timeless feel.

Externally, the rear courtyard garden is enclosed by brick walls and decorative trellis, creating a private and low-maintenance outdoor space. Brick paving, raised planting beds and a charming brick-built pond add texture and character, while steps lead to the covered car port — a rare and valuable feature for this central location.

This is a substantial and characterful home in one of Cambridge’s most desirable central settings, further enhanced by the later extension which has created two outstandingly generous principal rooms. Offering flexible accommodation, high-quality appliances, off-street parking and beautifully balanced living space, this property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
