Terraced house for sale in Richmond Road, Cambridge CB4

A bright and cleverly designed Victorian residence with a purpose-built studio and delightful garden, enjoying an enviable location in this popular neighbourhood just off Huntingdon Road.

This delightful Victorian townhouse enjoys an elevated position on Richmond Road, within easy reach of Eddington and the city centre. The previous architect owner extended the home, and the blend is almost seamless with meticulous care taken to ensure the aesthetic appeal and various period features were not compromised.

On the ground floor is a characterful entrance hall with a decorative archway, the first of the bedrooms and a large bathroom, fitted with a white four-piece suite including a separate bath and shower. A window from the stairwell boasts delightful views over a Sedum roof, which blooms beautifully in the summer and provides a natural habitat for wildlife.

There is a beautiful staircase leading down to the impressive kitchen, which has an attractive wood block floor and is fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units, finished with solid oak worktops and tiled splashbacks. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining area with a newly fitted wood-burning stove, coupled with original cupboards and shelving on either side. There is a large sitting room with a floor-to-ceiling sliding door leading to the private rear garden. Completing the lower ground accommodation is a cloakroom W.C.

The remaining bedrooms are located on the first floor, both of which are comfortable doubles and include built-in wardrobes, feature fireplaces and rise-and-fall sash windows. The landing has a built-in cupboard with hanging space and a shelf. There is also scope to convert the loft, subject to planning permission, which has been previously acquired by former owners. Currently, the loft space is accessed easily by a retractable ladder, and is boarded out, providing plenty of storage space.

Outside, the property is set back behind a shrub border and newly walled front garden, which has steps leading up to the main entrance. There is also a pedestrian right of access to a side gate and a broad private rear garden extending to around 56ft (17m). There is a decking area, well suited to alfresco dining and a useful studio with an additional store. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn and bordered with a variety of rose bushes, established shrubs and trees.
