Detached house for sale in Madras Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB1

A rare detached home on this very popular street just off Mill Road. This area is favoured by those wanting a community feel serviced by independent shops and cafes while still in the city's heart.

Less than a mile's walk from the railway station, you will find this improved detached Victorian home. As you enter the property, you'll notice the solid oak flooring and a characterful, cosy wood burner take centre place on a slate hearth. Continue through, past the cloakroom and shower, and you will arrive in the open-plan kitchen and dining area. A mix of modern stainless steel appliances blends with traditional touches, such as a butler sink and limestone flooring tied together with wooden worktops.

Unusually, for this style of property, the kitchen feels light and spacious thanks partly to the windows and glazed door leading to the side of the home but also the addition of the sunroom/conservatory that helps to funnel sunlight from the rear. Currently configured as a dining room, this versatile space provides a light and peaceful space.

The rear garden can be accessed by the kitchen door to the side, the double doors in the sunroom or via a side entrance from the front of the property. This very convenient arrangement will prove invaluable for securely storing bicycles and such without having to wheel through the living space.

Up to the first floor, you will find a family bathroom and three bedrooms. The principal bedroom that faces the rear has a bespoke wardrobe and storage lining one side of the wall. From the landing, a loft hatch provides access to the partly boarded loft, whilst many on this street have converted into additional living accommodation.
