6 Selwyn Gardens is a magnificent, detached family house constructed with striking red brick elevations under tiled roofs, set within gardens and grounds of just under half an acre. A building of local interest, the property retains many of its charming original period features and offers substantial and well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings, extending to 3,681 sq ft (342 sq m). The house is flooded with natural light from large windows, which is particularly evident in the ground floor reception rooms.
Although well-presented throughout, the property would benefit from some refurbishment and modernisation to bring it back to its former splendour. In short, it offers a rare opportunity for prospective purchasers to acquire a special city home, with planning permission in place, (reference 23/03336/HFUL, see floorplan on page 7 within this brochure), in a highly desirable residential area, with scope to carry out works to their own requirements, subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
Selwyn Gardens is a no-through road, just off Grange Road and widely regarded as one of the best addresses in the city. Situated in a conservation area, about 1 mile west from the heart of the historic centre, many Colleges and University departments are within close proximity. King's College School and St John's College School are just a short walk down Grange Road. Tennis enthusiasts are also well served in the area with the Cambridge Lawn Tennis Club and the Cocks and Hens Tennis Club, both readily accessible. Selwyn Gardens takes its name from nearby Selwyn College, founded in 1882 in memory of George Augustus Selwyn (1809-78) who rowed for the Cambridge crew in the first Varsity Boat Race in 1829. The city centre is close by and provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes, colleges and extensive shopping facilities. Cambridge also offers a wide range of educational and cultural amenities and is not only world renowned for its academic achievements, but also as an important centre for the ‘high tech’ and ‘bio tech’ industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories and the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park and Addenbrooke’s Hospital/Biomedical Campus.

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
