3 bedroom house

This beautiful Victorian townhouse had been comprehensively improved and more recently, further improved by the current owners including additional insulation in the sitting and dining rooms and the addition of the impressive garden studio.

The house has a wonderful range of original and character features including high ceilings, picture rails, feature fireplaces, oak doors and flooring.

On the ground floor, there are two reception rooms with the living room to the front of the property, which has been opened up to the dining room creating a wonderful light space. Bespoke built-in cabinets to either side of the chimney breasts have been created in both areas.

Beyond the dining room, there is a kitchen and separate large utility room. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of wooden units with matching work surfaces. There is a large Villeroy & Boch farmhouse sink and range style oven.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and an outstanding, recently fitted bathroom. The Duravit suite includes a large bath with a custom built drawer unit, a walk-in shower, a large built-in vanity basin and a concealed cistern WC. There is a heated towel rail, tiled flooring and a cupboard housing a combination boiler.

The second floor features a generous double bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes and a modern three-piece shower room. It also has a Juliet balcony with wonderful views over the garden.

Both the front and rear gardens have been significantly improved in recent years. The front garden has a low level retaining wall, timber bin store, a herb garden and olive trees.

The rear garden features a number of distinct areas including paved paths and terrace's, a natural pond, lawn and adjoining beds.

There are custom built storage cupboards and a wood store and at the far end an impressive garden studio with bi-folding doors which open to the garden along with power and light connected, making it an ideal space to work or relax in.

Richmond Road is a highly desirable residential road, superbly positioned just off Huntingdon Road within easy reach of the city centre. It feels less congested and more open than many of Cambridge's Victorian streets and there is a footpath from the end of the road that takes you through Histon Road Recreation Ground out to Histon Road itself and its various shops and supermarkets.

The property is in the catchment area for the Mayfield Primary School and the Ofsted Rated 'Outstanding' University Primary School in Eddington and Chesterton Community College. At the latter there is also an associated sports centre.

Access out to the M11 and A14 is very straightforward along Huntingdon Road and the West University site is less than a mile away.

Castle Hill's restaurants and public houses are about half a mile away and Magdalene Street and the bustling city centre are about a mile away.
