Description
7 Glisson Road is a substantial Victorian townhouse with accommodation extending to 2671 sq ft over 5 floors constructed of brick elevations with sash windows beneath a slated roof. The house has extremely flexible accommodation which includes an independently accessed basement which could lend itself to a self-contained flat/teenagers den or indeed to derive an additional income. On ground and first floors are three reception rooms including a first floor drawing room or master bedroom which extends the full width of the property, double bedroom and an en suite wet room with antique sanitary ware. Two further double bedrooms and a bathroom can be found on the second floor and of particular interest is the top floor which has been converted into a superb studio/sitting room which attracts a great deal of natural light and leads to a full width enclosed outdoor terrace with views towards the city and Catholic Church. This well proportioned home retains many features typical of the Victorian era such as sash windows, panelled doors and impressive fireplaces. Of further interest are the small courtyards, one accessed via the kitchen/breakfast room and the other which is particularly private at a lower level accessed via the sauna area and provides space and plumbing for a hot tub. There is a residents parking scheme in operation in and around Glisson Road and permits are available from Cambridge City Council.
