6 bedroom house

A magnificent Victorian house with beautifully presented accommodation, set in stunning landscaped gardens, in an idyllic west city location.

Cambridge City Centre 1 mile, Mainline Railway Station 2 miles (Liverpool Street 70 minutes and King's Cross 49 minutes), M11 (Junction 13) 2.5 miles (distances and times are approximate).

Dating from 1899, No 7 Adams Road is a truly wonderful example of the late Victorian era and most imposing from its rear elevation, with charming reception rooms, original features still intact and a delightful aspect over the gardens to the south. Constructed of mellow red brick elevations with pretty tile hanging to the first floor under a tiled roof, of particular note is the superb first floor Library with its barrelled ceiling.
More recently the current owners have sympathetically extended and renovated the property under the direction of NRAP, a leading Cambridge practice to ensure the retention of many of the original period features including panelling, window seats and cornicing. Merging seamlessly with the original building, the new extension incorporates a large family kitchen/breakfast room with handmade units by Chalon of London, a splendid conservatory built by Vale Garden Houses leading through to the spa/gym with bespoke glass shower and sauna enclosures and an Italian spa designed by Tecu with Luna stone tiling. A new luxurious principal bedroom occupies the entirety of the first floor of the extension and completes this work.

Restrictive Covenants
In common with other properties in the area, 7 Adams Road is sold subject to restrictive covenants in favour of St John’s College, Cambridge. Further details are available from Bidwells.

Outside
The house stands extremely well in established gardens and grounds and in the acreage is fully screened from the road by a hedge and a variety of shrubs and mature trees. Access is via a gravel in and out driveway which leads to an ample off-street parking space and double car port.The wonderful rear gardens extend predominately to the south with a large expanse of lawn running the entire length of the original house flanked on one side by a mature topiary hedge. Adjacent to the recent extension is a charming Italian style garden with a feature pond and extensive terrace paved with reclaimed York stone paving. This glorious garden is screened to all boundaries by fine mature specimen trees and shrubs, providing a high level of privacy and seclusion.
