Superbly presented and skilfully extended Grade II listed terrace house in prime central Cambridge.
Description
5 Willow Walk is a Grade II listed Georgian house which dates back to the early 1800s, designed and built by Charles Humfrey. Constructed of Cambridge brick elevations with sash windows beneath a slate roof, the property has been subject to an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment program along with a stunning contemporary extension in recent years. Extending to 1123 sq ft, the property has well laid out accommodation over lower ground, upper ground and first floor levels and is connected via an originals staircase with hardwood handrails. Of particular note is the sitting room with original cast iron basket grate (with convenient gas fitting) and ornate surround along with study/library beyond looking out on to the rear garden.
The kitchen is fabulous and superbly fitted with a comprehensive range of matt white cabinetry, two long granite working surfaces and integrated Siemens appliances. There are a number of glazed roof lights and low level windows so as to maximise light. The dining area extends from the kitchen and is fully glazed to the rear and side aspects and both areas have underfloor heating.
There are three bedrooms including two doubles. The main bedroom is situated on the upper floor and the owners have used the adjacent single bedroom as a large dressing room. The large, lit family shower room has an oversized shower cubicle. The second double bedroom is at lower level and has a wide cast iron fireplace and recessed cupboards along with a deep store cupboard/wardrobe. To the rear is a re-fitted bathroom which has elegant sanitary ware with a shower over the bath and a laundry counter with space for appliances beneath. The property retains many original features including ash windows, panelled doors and fireplaces, staircase with hard wood handrail and has glimpsed views through to Midsummer Common and New Square.
The rear enclosed walled garden is paved and designed with low maintenance in mind and has ample space for entertaining. There is a rear pedestrian gateway leading to a rear passage accessed via Fair Street for wheelie bins, bikes and rear access, shared with the 'dolls houses' along Maids Causeway.
Willow Walk is situated between Short Street and Fair Street with number 5 being close to the western end, close to Christ Pieces and is an un-adopted road to which the residents have Right of Way and have historically used this as free unrestricted parking. The residents have installed restrictive gates at either end.
Location
Very central position, literally a few hundred metres away from the historical city centre.
Extensive shopping facilities, including busy daily market, Grand Arcade and Grafton Centre shopping malls all close at hand.
Cambridge bus/coach station and railway station 350m and approximately 1.1 miles distance on foot/cycle respectively.
Extensive recreational and cultural amenities including the river Cam, Cambridge Colleges, theatres and museums available in Cambridge.
Square Footage: 1,123 sq ft
