Barrow RoadCambridge, CB2 8AR

47 Barrow Road is a thoughtfully restored 1930s Arts & Crafts home, carefully upgraded and extended by the current owners to honour its original character while introducing modern comfort. Significant improvements, including full rewiring and re plumbing in 2011 and 2015, sit alongside high quality Velfac windows and glazed doors throughout—enhancements that bring light and clarity to every corner of the property. Sitting gracefully within a wide and beautifully established plot of approximately 0.56 acres, one of the biggest on this much sought-after road, the house is constructed of traditional brick beneath a clay tiled roof and occupies a desirable south of city location.

The green panelled front door opens to a broad, welcoming hallway where hardwood floors set the tone for much of the ground floor. From here, the family room leads through to an impressive reception space with vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing framing views of the garden. A well-appointed study provides an ideal workspace, while a generous utility room to the left connects directly to the garage.

To the right, the exceptional kitchen/breakfast/dining room extends from the front to the back of the house, offering both practicality and presence. Corian worktops—including a breakfast bar—complement modern shaker-style cabinetry, and the space is well equipped with a Wolf gas hob, Miele oven, Siemens dishwasher and an American style fridge-freezer. Its triple-aspect design accommodates a substantial dining area and an additional seating zone arranged around a gas fireplace, creating a natural hub for family life. A WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, five double bedrooms provide flexibility and comfort, supported by three well-fitted bathrooms. The main bedroom enjoys views across the rear garden towards the woodland copse, and includes a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with walk-in shower and Hans Grohe fittings.

Outside, the property is approached via a wide gravel driveway leading to the front door and garage with an electronic roller door. Side access connects to the rear garden, where two versatile studio buildings—currently used as an art studio and workshop—offer potential for a home office, gym or creative space. A broad terrace wraps around the rear and side of the house, opening onto a large lawn dotted with mature trees and shrubs. At the far boundary, the rare presence of Vicar’s Brook flowing through the garden adds a distinctive and tranquil natural feature.
