Description
Wilberforce Road is part of the west city conservation area and is home to some of Cambridge‘s finest private houses. The 1 mile walk or ride to the city centre takes in some of the city‘s most iconic scenes and buildings, passing by Grange Road and the University Library, across The Backs, over the river by Garret Hostel Lane and weaving between Trinity, Caius and the Senate House to arrive at Great St Mary‘s and the market square.
The house is at the northern edge of the Newnham ward of the city, an area chosen by the Sunday Times in 2015 as the very best place to live in all of the UK. One stroll into town is all it takes to understand why.
The house was built in the 1960s and is a fine example of the modern architectural design that Cambridge began to embrace at the time and that is increasingly appreciated now for its efficiency, light and practicality.
The property has enjoyed a complete, sympathetic refurbishment in the last few years, updating the heating, kitchen and bathrooms; rewiring including TV and data points on all floors, rearranging the internal layout and adding noise and heat insulation to the party walls. The result is a wonderfully light, contemporary home with four bedrooms, a bathroom, a generous first floor dual aspect sitting room and on the ground floor a utility room, cloakroom and a splendid ground floor kitchen / dining room with tall windows front and rear, and a beautifully fitted kitchen with stone worksurfaces and integrated appliances. Stone has also been used on various windowsills and there is hardwood parquet flooring in the hallway, first floor landing and sitting room.
In front of the house, there is off road parking for two cars and a newly installed electric car charging point. The owners have added a bespoke, very high specification bike shed, which would accommodate several bikes and incorporates an irrigated shrub bed on top. To the rear of the property there is an attractive garden fitted with high quality synthetic grass bordered by raised beds.
There are very few houses within this price range in this part of the city and fewer still that are so comprehensively and stylishly renovated.
