A thoughtfully extended and much improved semi detached home, enjoying a quiet position fronting onto a pedestrian only area, but with the benefit of off road parking to the side of the building.

The property is approached from the side garden, and the front door opens to an impressive entrance hall with the staircase leading up to the first floor. The sitting room extends across the front of the house and is a bright room with a large window providing lots of natural light. There is an attractive fireplace with arched recesses either side and plenty of space for sofas and chairs. The second reception room has a vaulted ceiling fitted with a roof light and is currently used as a music room. This would equally make a great study, play room, fourth bedroom or snug.

The adjacent dining space has plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and there is a built in cupboard that extends under the staircase; double doors open to the conservatory which has views over the garden and doors out.

Outside is a small, terraced side garden with steps leading up to the front door and a pedestrian gate leading to the principal garden. The front garden is laid to lawn with hedging providing natural screening and the rear garden is westerly facing and enjoys a good degree of privacy. The principal garden is hard landscaped for ease of maintenance with hedging and a specimen tree. A personal door gives access to the partially converted garage/garden studio which provides a great additional space for hobbies, a home office, or storage. This could also be converted back to a garage if preferred.

The property enjoys an energy efficient, 'C' rated EPC making it economical to run.

The Sanger Institute/Wellcome Genome Campus at Hixton is only a short cycle or drive away (4 miles) and Shelford Station is just 2 miles away.
