Central modern townhouse with allocated parking and river views
3 Evening Court is a modern end terrace property constructed during the late 1990's of buff brick elevations with double glazed windows throughout. The property forms one of nine similarly styled properties situated in a small select development just off Newmarket Road, close to Maids Causeway. The property has a fabulous open aspect over neighbouring allotments and Midsummer Common to the college boathouses on the river Cam. The house is set back beyond a small lawn and accessed via a storm porch into a spacious hallway.
The current sellers have skilfully reconfigured some of the accommodation to create a full length (front to back) open plan triple aspect kitchen/breakfast and dining/family room with wide glazed double doors to the rear garden. The kitchen has been fitted with U' shaped working surfaces and a range of matching cabinetry including wide deep pan drawers, spaces for dish washer and American style fridge/freezer. There are integrated stainless steel double ovens and microwave, along with a gas six burner hob and a woodblock counter breakfast bar. Twin glazed doors lead from the dining area into a snug/reading room or this space could work well as a home office for those working from home. Oak flooring has been laid throughout the hallway and reception spaces, and a cloaks/WC completes the ground floor.
At first floor is the sitting room which has a double aspect including twin glazed doors onto a shallow balcony with elevated open views of the river, along with a double bedroom and large laundry room. The laundry room was previously an en-suite bathroom and could easily be converted back. There are four further bedrooms on the upper two floors including the principal bedroom to the rear with refitted en suite shower room comprising Duravit sanitary ware, and a large family bathroom with a separate shower and ½ tiled walls. The two top bedrooms (formerly one much larger bedroom) have dormer windows and fabulous views over the River Cam, allotments and Midsummer Common. A gas fired central heating system provides heating and hot water, while solar PV panels and battery storage provide much of the electricity used in the house.
There is a side pedestrian access from the front, leading to a fully enclosed, partly walled paved courtyard garden which has been designed with low maintenance in mind and provides ample space for entertaining guests in the summer months. There is a timber pergola with mature Chocolate Vine climbing shrubbery giving additional privacy from the side.

I'd absolutely love to wake up here on a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee on the balcony watching the world drift by
