A characterful and much improved, 3-bedroom period home with a good-sized garden and scope for expansion (STPP), located on a sought-after road to the east of the city centre. Sold with the benefit of no onward chain.
This charming, terraced house is believed to have been constructed shortly after the Victorian era and is presented in excellent order. It is pleasantly located on a quiet, sought-after road a short distance south-east of the city centre and within easy reach of a range of amenities.
The property is entered through a solid wood door with fanlight above and into the bay-fronted living/dining room, which has a dual aspect, stripped wooden floorboards and an enclosed staircase to the first floor with storage cupboard under. The well-appointed kitchen has a good range of fitted wall and base units, granite floor and worktops, tiled splash backs, a ceramic sink unit, plumbing for washing machine, space for a cooker, fridge and freezer, and a side door to the rear garden. At the rear, the bathroom has a panelled bath with a shower over, a pedestal wash basin, a low-level WC, a heated towel rail, a granite floor, and custom made fitted storage cupboards.
On the first floor, there are three good-sized bedrooms. The landing has a cupboard housing the combination boiler and a hatch with a ladder providing access to the loft space, which has scope to be converted, subject to the necessary consents.
Outside, the property is set back from the road behind a low-level wall and a shallow, gravelled front garden with paving. To the rear is a mature, relatively low-maintenance garden, which provides a good degree of privacy and enjoys a westerly aspect. There are a variety of shrubs and plants, a patio area directly to the rear of the house and a shed at the end of the garden.
Location - Cowper Road lies between Cherry Hinton Road and Lichfield Road, less than 2 miles south-east of Cambridge city centre. It is well placed for local shopping facilities on Cherry Hinton Road along with the Leisure Park at the junction with Hills Road providing cinema, restaurants, gym, Tesco Express, Sainsbury's Local and further entertainment facilities. There is also local primary and secondary schooling in the area. Cherry Hinton Hall and its surrounding park are nearby, and the area is also very well-placed for access to the railway station, Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Biomedical Campus.
