6 bedroom detached house for sale

An iconic Cambridge home in a fabulous position and with extensive accommodation skillfully designed, extended and finished to exacting standards throughout.

The accommodation extends to just over 3000 sq. ft and is arranged over four floors. The principal rooms flow beautifully around an elegant hall, which retains its original glazed doors and staircase, and offers a blend of traditional reception rooms and more casual, open-plan spaces perfect for modern family life. This has been created by the current owners and their design team and is the result of a four-year program of extension and remodeling. The drawing room has a wonderful fireplace and the deep sash window overlooks the common, as does the living room, which has a fireplace and opens to the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is, of course, both stylish and practical, it incorporates a range of appliances, plenty of cabinetry and natural stone work surfaces. The use of a large island ensures a clean and clear visual from front to back via original sashes and full-height doors overlooking the raised rear terrace.

The lower ground floor creates a flexible space perfect as an annexe/self-contained unit, playroom, cinema or home office.

The original sweeping staircase, with a large arched sash window, leads to the first floor where there are three large bedrooms. The principal suite is really quite something, with a dressing room complete with bespoke wardrobes, the bedroom has arguably the finest views of Midsummer Common and a large freestanding bath beneath a large sash window, as well as paneled walls and an oak floor, there is also an en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms share a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room.

On the second floor are bedrooms four and five, both offer excellent proportions and excellent views, the bathroom is well-planned and beautifully appointed.
