The serving hatch is a timely reminder of the period from which this property dates.<br /><br />Next to the kitchen is an impressive living / dining room which is the largest room in the house. The grand fire surround forming the centrepiece of the room, the original chimney stack is in place should you wish to revert to an open fire or log burner. Great for those cosy wintery nights.<br /><br />With large windows it’s a lovely bright room with views to the flowers and shrubs in the surrounding gardens.<br /><br />This room is where the layout potential begins with the possibility to open up the kitchen to create a grand open plan kitchen diner / living area.<br /><br />Leading off the hallway is a large double bedroom and family bathroom with separate bath and enclosed shower cubicle.<br /><br />The study is the final room which forms part of the original property which leads into what is the music room. <br /><br />This entire space is currently dedicated to one use, however this is a part of the property that provides the most potential.<br /><br />In its current layout it is the perfect space for running a business and the addition of air conditioning makes it a comfortable space to work. The door leading directly to the garage provides convenient access rather than walking around the entire property.<br /><br />It would also make a great games or hobby room, a second reception or living area or could even be converted into two additional bedrooms with an adjoining hallway. <br /><br />With the garages also providing the opportunity to convert into further living space, the possibilities are endless.<br /><br />The conservatory is a great spot to relax and enjoy the views into the enclosed rear garden., which is full of colour and offers a quiet retreat surrounded by trees that gives a different feel to the gardens to the front.<br /><br />Beyond the gate is a shed and space to park another vehicle. The dividing fence could be removed to open this up to make this section of the garden bigger.<br /><br />Back indoors and into the converted loft which really maximises the useable space in the property, there’s a large double bedroom, office and toilet.<br /><br />With roof lights in each room, it’s a light, bright space. The office is a comfortable space and has great potential to be used as a dressing room with its integrated wardrobes.<br /><br />The owner did have planning permission granted to replace the flat roof on the downstairs extension with a pitched roof (connected to the current pitched roof) in order to expand the upper level further in 2002, however they didn't go ahead with it. It's likely it would be granted again should you have similar plans.<br /><br />This property provides a lot of living space with lots of untapped potential. With bungalows becoming rarer in the City, it’s a great opportunity for someone to create their dream home. <br /><br />The Area<br /><br />This is a quiet and convenient part of Cambridge to live in. With the majority of traffic being that of the local residents, your out of the hustle and bustle of the City centre but close enough for it to be only a 10-minute bike ride.<br /><br />There are shops, pubs and takeaways within walking distance adding convenience and green areas nearby which provide a place to get some fresh air or walk the dog.<br /><br />The area offers great access to Cambridge Science Park and Business Park making it popular with professionals.<br /><br />Being on the edge of the City, access to the A14, A428 and M11 is easy and with Cambridge North train station nearby, it’s a convenient spot for commuters.<br /><br />Other information<br />New boiler installed in 2019 (serviced each year with last service December 2025)<br />Gas fire installed 2011 and serviced each year.<br />Air conditioning in the music room – serviced each year
