Fine early Edwardian detached home with a south facing garden.
Originally built in 1910, this impressive detached Edwardian residence is a rare find in Cambridgeelegantly proportioned, full of character, and occupying a generous 0.45-acre plot on one of the city's most prestigious roads. Constructed in red brick under a slate roof, the house has been carefully extended and modernised while retaining a wealth of original features, including panelled doors, cornicing, picture rails, high ceilings, and a beautiful stained-glass window that brings light into the wide, welcoming entrance hall.
The accommodation spans three floors and offers excellent versatility, with substantial living space and seven bedrooms arranged over the upper two levels. A fine oak staircase with a sweeping handrail rises through the heart of the house to a galleried landing, setting the tone for the elegance throughout. On the ground floor, the principal reception rooms enjoy views over the south-facing garden. The drawing and dining rooms are wonderfully bright, each with bay or bow windows, fireplaces, and French doors opening onto a paved terraceideal for entertaining. A family room at the front of the house also enjoys a dual aspect and features a living flame gas fire.
The kitchen has been beautifully refitted with Poggenpohl units and Miele appliances, blending sleek contemporary finishes with the home's timeless charm. An open-plan breakfast area connects through to the garden room, where oak flooring and double doors bring the outside in. The majority of rooms to the rear enjoy a sunny southerly aspect, overlooking mature gardens and playing fields beyond.
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite enjoys a dual aspect and has been thoughtfully reconfigured to include a generous dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, twin basins, large walk-in shower, and WC. Three further spacious double bedrooms occupy the first floor, along with a family shower room and an additional en suite WC. The top floorconverted from the original roof spaceincludes a sitting room, fifth bedroom, large home office, and bathroom. This upper level could easily be adapted into further bedrooms or even a self-contained flat, if desired.

There are so many redeeming features of this house. It's hard to pick a favourite but if i had to - its the quirky Toocans in the stained glass.
