2 bedroom terraced house for sale

A much-improved Victorian home with a south-east facing garden, situated just off Huntingdon Road in this popular residential area, a 9-minute cycle ride north of Cambridge Market Square.

No. 68 Oxford Road is a delightful, mid-terraced period home of traditional brick elevations under a slate tiled roof, dating from 1900. The house still retains a number of period features, yet has been thoughtfully updated and designed with modern living in mind including the addition of underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

The property is entered via a solid timber door with a fanlight over, leading to an entrance hall with a full height storage cupboard and space for coats and footwear. There is a bright, open-plan sitting/dining room with built-in shelving and a feature fireplace, contrasted by an attractive surround. The room has a dual aspect, stairs leading to the first-floor, and is finished with wooden flooring. The kitchen has been fitted with a modern range of base and eye-level units; integrated appliances include an oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a five-ring gas hob with an extractor over. A door from the kitchen leads to the south-east facing garden.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the principal bedroom is particularly spacious and includes built-in sliding wardrobes. There is an impressive refitted bathroom, which has been fitted with modern vanity units and is complemented by a skylight, a heated towel rail and inset spotlights.

Outside, the front of the property is set back behind a shallow front garden with a covered bin store, raised sleeper wall and a quarry tiled pathway to the front door. The rear garden measures around 53ft x 13ft and has been landscaped for ease of maintenance, mainly paved and shingled with a central lawned area. There is a useful storage shed and seating area at the foot of the garden, which is well-suited to alfresco dining. A secure gate to the rear provides pedestrian access back to the front of the property.
