Well-proportioned Victorian semi in near-central location
39 Victoria Park is a well-proportioned Victorian semidetached property, constructed with Cambridge brick elevations and mainly sash windows beneath a slate roof. The house extends to 1,380 sq ft (128.2 sq m) of traditionally arranged accommodation over the ground and first floors.
Set back from Victoria Park, the property is approached via a gently sloping lawned front garden with a chequered quarry-tiled pathway. The entrance hall retains attractive period features including moulded ceiling cornicing, picture rails and a wide arch with original corbels. There are two generous reception rooms; the front benefits from a wide bay sash window, and both retain substantial ornate cast-iron fireplaces. One of these rooms is currently used as additional bedroom.
The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, with glazed double doors opening onto the rear terrace, is fitted with cream coloured cabinetry and provides ample space for freestanding appliances. A shower room with WC completes the ground floor.
On the first floor are three large double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom at the front which spans the full width of the house and features three sash windows overlooking the greensward. Two of the bedrooms also retain cast iron fireplaces. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over.
Subject to the necessary consents, the property offers excellent potential to extend, enhancing both the living and bedroom/bathroom accommodation, in a manner similar to many neighbouring homes.
The property benefits from gas fired central heating, retains painted pine panelled internal doors, is offered with no onward chain, and can be viewed in greater detail on the attached floorplans.
The rear garden is west facing, predominantly laid to lawn, fully enclosed, and features an Indian sandstone paved terrace.

Fabulously situated in one of Cambridge favoured no-through roads overlooking trees and greensward, I love the fact that you can walk and cycle into town in a few minutes
