About this home

An individual and impressive family house set within wonderful gardens, in this highly sought after location, widely recognised as one of the most prestigious addresses within the city.

City Centre 1.5 miles, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) 1.5 miles, Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus 2 miles, M11 2 miles, Stansted Airport 26 miles, Central London 60 miles, (distances are approximate).

39 Bentley Road was built in 1980 and is an impressive, detached property constructed with brick elevations under a tiled roof. The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of improvements and updating and the result is an immaculately presented, spacious family home with versatile accommodation extending to just under 2,500 sq ft.

Bentley Road is a tree-lined road in arguably, one of the best residential areas of Cambridge and is characterised by impressive, detached houses with large gardens. It is within easy walking or cycling distance of a number of highly regarded schools, such as St Faith’s, The Leys, The Perse, St Mary’s and The Stephen Perse School (from pre-prep to sixth form) and there are also excellent nursery schools in nearby Chaucer Road. The wonderful University Botanic Garden, which is open to the public, is within a few hundred yards, and the property is also conveniently placed for direct access to the heart of the city centre, which provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes, colleges and extensive shopping facilities. Cambridge also offers a wide range of educational and cultural amenities and is not only world renowned for its academic achievements but has also become an important centre for the ‘high tech’ and ‘bio tech’ industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories and the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park. Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the new Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest centres of health, science and medical research in the world, is within about 1.5 miles to the east. London commuters are well served with a mainline railway station about 1.5 miles away providing services to King’s Cross and Liverpool Street in about 52 and 67 minutes respectively and the M11 (junction 11) is about 2 miles away providing access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
