An imposing and bay-fronted 5-bedroom Victorian townhouse of about 1750 sq. ft, just 150m from the river, with well-balanced accommodation across three floors, and a southwest-facing garden.
This attractive family house has much of the original character retained, while offering scope for updating and remodeling, to create a fabulous family home in one of the city's prime locations.
On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall with an attractive staircase and original corbels. There is a living/family room with classic high ceilings, a bay window to the front aspect and original plaster cornicing. Through a beautiful stained glass door the dining room has fitted cupboards and leads into the extended kitchen/breakfast room, which has a pantry and a door to the garden. The kitchen is a good size with real potential to create a wonderful space.
On the first floor, there is a large double bedroom to the front with two large windows. The middle double room has integrated alcove storage, and there is a third bedroom with views over the garden. The shower room has been refitted and includes a walk-in shower, basin and WC.
Unusually, there is no compromise in space on the second floor where there are two further large double rooms, one of which benefits from an ensuite shower room.
At the front, there is a small garden, and a covered, secure, side passageway leads to the southwest-facing rear garden, which is enclosed by walling and fencing. The garden is mainly lawned, has flower beds, and a timber shed.
Alpha Road is a desirable and quintessentially Cambridge street, leading directly down to the River Cam. Beyond this is Parker's Piece and the historical Cambridge City Centre beyond.
