Detailed Description

A charming and sympathetically updated three double bedroom Victorian home occupying an enviable position within this popular residential area. The versatile accommodation extends to approximately 1086 sq. ft. over two floors and is further complemented by a useful basement storage area and a large garden studio, whilst being conveniently situated for the town centre and mainline railway station with direct links to London King's Cross and Cambridge.

The front of the property benefits from a gravel driveway providing off road parking . A pathway leads to the side gate, whilst a step rises to the entrance door. The frontage is attractively softened by a selection of established shrubs.

The fully enclosed rear garden enjoys a south westerly aspect and has been thoughtfully arranged to create a variety of outdoor spaces. Immediately adjoining the kitchen, bifold doors open onto a paved patio seating area which extends around the side of the property, providing access to a storage shed, outside tap, and gated side access. Beyond, a further patio terrace set beneath a pergola and enhanced by mature climbing plants creates an attractive outdoor dining area. The principal garden is predominantly laid to lawn and features a mature apple tree, with a secluded vegetable garden beyond incorporating a range of raised beds and a greenhouse. A paved pathway leads to a detached home office benefiting from light, power, and an external tap. To the rear of the office are two further storage sheds.
