Property description

Heart of Cambridge
Period Listed Home
Improvement Opportunity
Courtyard Garden


To be able to acquire the freehold of an early Victorian town house in the heart of Cambridge is a rare opportunity. For that home to be a blank canvass that you can make your own is unique. Many windows have been sensitively replaced and the lower ground floor walls have been damp-proofed. Beyond this, all main rooms require refurbishment. When completed you could have created a beautiful, three bedroom, period home beyond compare.

Entrance Hall	x . Steps leading up to the panelled front door add an air of grandeur to the house, which is further enhanced by the half moon transum. An arched doorway leads to the inner hall with stairs leading down to the basement level and up to the first and second floors.
Reception Room	13'1\" x 12'2\" (3.99m x 3.7m). The front reception room is currently used as an office and is dominated by the broad chimney breast and large sash window, which floods the room with light. To the back of the room a large alcove has been created by opening up a wide arch into what would have originally been the rear reception room.
Shower Room	11' x 5'6\" (3.35m x 1.68m). What was originally the rear reception room has been divided to create an alcove in the main reception room, an inner lobby and a generous shower room. There is a double width, walk-in shower and a large window overlooking the courtyard garden.
Landing	x . A turning staircase leads down to the basement. On the half-landing a door leads to the courtyard.
Kitchen	16'11\" x 12'2\" (5.16m x 3.7m). Please note: No kitchen units or appliances are installed in what is planned to be the kitchen. From the basement landing a door leads to the kitchen. Taking up the whole width of the front half of the house the kitchen, when completed, promises to be a spacious and homely room. A sash window at sub-pavement level brings plenty of natural light into the room, while a re-installed fire gives the room a feeling of warmth. The walls have been treated with a damp proofing membrane and the floor retains the brick flooring, believed to be original.
Utility	11' x 10' (3.35m x 3.05m). Please note: No kitchen units or appliances are installed in what is planned to be the utility room. The basement utility room has an eye-level window overlooking the courtyard and plumbing in place for the installation of appliances.
Landing	x . A turning staircase leads to the first floor landing with a large sash window overlooking the courtyard from the half-landing.
Bedroom	16'11\" x 22'6\" (5.16m x 6.86m). On the first floor what would have been two rooms has been knocked into one grand reception space with two sash windows at the front and one at the back. This room could easily be reconfigured to reinstate two generous double bedrooms.
Attic Room	16'11\" x 16'6\" (5.16m x 5.03m). A staircase leads from the first floor landing to the attic room, which is currently used as a bedroom, but which has not yet been fully converted. Two dormer windows provide ample light for the room, so only finishing off is required to turn this into a fully functional, beautiful bedroom.
