3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Perne Road, Cambridge CB1

A recently refurbished 1930’s semi-detached house with an extensive modern kitchen/dining/family room and large established gardens with off-street parking. Close to Mill Road and Cambridge Station.

This semi-detached house has been thoughtfully modernised and substantially extended to create a stylish and versatile family home, successfully combining the character and proportions of the original property with contemporary design and modern living.

Extending to approximately 1,285 sqft, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and is particularly well suited to family life, with a generous reception space, three bedrooms and a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room overlooking the rear garden.

The property is approached via a gravelled frontage, providing off-street parking, with an attractive brick façade and traditional bay windows, reflecting its 1930s origins.

The entrance hall leads to a front living room and the connecting, yet separate sitting room. The living room features an attractive bay window, whilst the sitting room retains exposed timber floorboards and a characterful fireplace, creating a welcoming and comfortable space. Glazed double doors connect the sitting room to the impressive rear extension, allowing the accommodation to flow naturally between the original house and the more contemporary living space beyond. The kitchen/dining/family room extends to approximately 28 ft 5 in length. Designed with both everyday family living and entertaining in mind, this impressive space benefits from a vaulted ceiling, multiple rooflights and an impressive, glazed gable overlooking the garden. Full-width bi-folding doors open directly onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and its outside space. The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by elegant stonework surfaces, integrated appliances and a substantial central island incorporating a breakfast bar. A comfortable seating area and ample space for dining make this a particularly sociable room, while the generous glazing ensures excellent natural light throughout the day.

A separate utility room, with additional storage and a stylish shower room, finished with contemporary tiling and fittings, completes the ground-floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys an attractive bay window overlooking the front of the property, while the second bedroom benefits from views towards the rear garden. The third bedroom offers flexibility as a child's bedroom or home office. The bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside, a gravelled driveway offers off-street parking, with established hedging providing screening from the road. There is also useful access along the side of the house.

To the rear, a paved terrace immediately adjoins the kitchen/family room and provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, the garden extends into a delightful, mature and informal green space, with areas of lawn, established shrubs, trees and a variety of planting.
