A charming, double-fronted, 1920’s family home offering substantial accommodation including 6 bedrooms and occupying a large plot on a well-established and sought-after road to the south of the city centre.
This superb 1920’s residence occupies a large, mature plot on Hills Avenue, located a short distance from the city centre, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and excellent local schooling. The property has been significantly improved and extended in recent years, with the most notable improvements being a full-width rear extension and a loft conversion, creating an open plan kitchen/dining/family room and two double bedrooms with a bathroom, respectively. The end result is a tremendous, characterful home of generous proportions, which has been sympathetically adapted for family living.
Set well back from the road, the property is approached via a gravel driveway, flanked by a mature garden, which leads to a storm porch. The welcoming entrance hallway has wooden flooring, stairs to the first floor and access to all of the reception rooms. The charming living room features a wood-burning stove with a tiled hearth and glazed double doors opening into the kitchen/family room. There is a study/double bedroom, which is complimented by an adjoining shower room, fitted with a three-piece suite. The spacious, extended kitchen/dining/family room has a wealth of light courtesy of Velux windows and two sets of French doors providing views of and access to the rear garden. The well-equipped kitchen includes a double electric oven, five-burner gas hob with a stainless splashback and extractor hood over, space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for both a washing machine and a dishwasher.
On the first floor, there is a family bathroom, which is predominantly tiled and fitted with a three-piece suite including a panelled bath with a mains shower over, a pedestal wash basin and a WC. There are three bedrooms, all of which are double in size, with the largest benefitting from a dual aspect.
On the second (top) floor, there is a further three-piece shower room and two double bedrooms, both of which have access to storage eaves.
At the front of the property there is gravel driveway which provides off-road parking for 2+ vehicles and a shelter for cycles. The front garden is set back behind a boundary wall and is particularly pleasant, featuring a mature silver birch tree and a variety of flowers, herbs and shrubs. Shared gated access leads to the sizeable rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn. It features a patio area perfectly suited to al fresco dining, a variety of established trees and shrubs, and two timber sheds, one of which has power connected.
