A substantial and highly individual 1950’s detached house providing extensive accommodation extending to 2555 sqft, occupying an established plot with large south-facing rear garden and driveway parking, on Porson Road.
30 Porson Road is a substantial 1950’s, architect designed family residence, which stands detached on a private and mature plot extending to 1/3 acre on one of Cambridge's most desirable roads. Situated on the south-side of the city and within easy reach of outstanding schools, Addenbrooke’s Hospital/Biomedical Campus and the historic centre.
Extensive accommodation is arranged over two light and spacious floors, retaining attractive features, which include an impressive staircase and beautiful wooden floors. The property was extended in 1962, creating additional living spaces on both floors and there is scope for further expansion, remodelling and modernisation, if required.
The accommodation comprises a large reception hall providing access to the garage and WC. An impressive L-shaped reception room with large windows overlooks the garden and leads to a flexible studio/hobby room and a formal dining space with glazed sliding doors opening to a patio area. A well-equipped kitchen with a pantry leads to a useful utility room. A lean-to conservatory completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, a spacious landing and inner hallway leads to five double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with separate shower cubicle) and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and offers built-in wardrobes and a WC, which could be extended to provide an ensuite shower room.
Outside, the property is approached via broad frontage with an in-and-out driveway, and mature planting provides a high degree of privacy. A large and established south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with tall hedging to one side and a wide border with mature trees to the other. There is a paved patio adjacent to the house and garden pond. A brick-built store and a boiler room are located next to gated pedestrian access leading to the front.
