Situation
The property is situated at the end of this favoured tree lined road off Trumpington Road about 2 miles distant from Cambridge market square with ready access to Addenbrookes Hospital and the Botanical Gardens. There are excellent independent schools available in the immediate area such as St Faiths, The Perse, The Perse School for Girls and The Leys, whilst the commuter benefits from good access to the M11 at Junction 11 and the "Park and Ride" at Trumpington. Mainline rail services are available from Cambridge railway station to London's Kings Cross and Liverpool Street stations from 51 and 57 minutes respectively.
Description
The property is a substantial brick built detached house with mainly crittall windows beneath a tiled roof and offers over 4,000 sq ft of flexible, well planned accommodation extending to three floors. Of particular note is the connecting drawing and dining room. The dining room has a solid oak floor, a see-through "inter-connecting" Bodart & Gonay fireplace with glazed doors - the dining room extends into the well proportioned conservatory which houses a large Dovre wood burning stove. To the south is a further sitting room and a study which has been superbly fitted in ash cabinetry. To the rear, the well fitted kitchen/breakfast room, with custom bench seating and a green four oven Aga, attracts a great deal of westerly sunshine and overlooks the rear gardens.
At first floor, to the south, is a vaulted master bedroom with adjoining en suite bathroom and dressing room enjoying spectacular views over the gardens and swimming pool from the glazed balcony. There are 5 further bedrooms along with refitted shower room and refitted bathroom accessed via a spacious landing. A further staircase leads to a second floor, spacious, almost full width studio/hobbies room with natural lighting.
Outside
The house is approached over a wide gravelled driveway with car parking for several vehicles. The rear garden is generous, secluded and enclosed by natural boundaries and backs onto The Perse School playing fields. The gardens are a particular feature of the property which have been beautifully maintained by the current owners and face due south west with generous lawns, feature ponds and several specimen trees including catalpa, paulownia and American tulip tree. Immediately adjacent to the house with direct access from the drawing room and conservatory is an extensive terrace which circumnavigates the heated outdoor swimming pool with access to the plant room and brick built workshop.
