Elizabeth Way, Cambridge

9 Elizabeth Way is a handsome semi-detached Edwardian townhouse which has seen a full scheme of sensitive refurbishments. The property retains many of its original character features, including tall ceilings, railings, skirting boards, and other architectural details. It also serves as an ideal base for modern living.

The airy reception hall with its stairway rising to the first-floor level opens into the bright front-facing sitting room, with its bay window and a cast iron and tiled feature fireplace mirrored in the adjoining double bedroom. The hallway then flows through to the generously sized kitchen and breakfast room, which opens directly to the garden. The kitchen offers a wide range of stylish contemporary wall and base cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces, a breakfast bar, ample storage and various integrated appliances. There is plenty of space for dining and entertaining alongside the wide fireplace surround and attractive mosaic-tiled flooring.

On the first floor there are two well-appointed bedrooms, which are well-served by a sleek family bathroom with a luxury bathtub and a separate walk-in shower.

The home benefits from a fine frontage with a low-level brick wall enclosing a small and well-stocked courtyard alongside a stone-tiled pathway to the entrance. There is a useful rear access point accessible from the adjacent Humberstone Road, with plenty of permit parking available in this central setting. The pretty rear garden is well-enclosed and enjoys a warm south-westerly aspect, surrounded by fencing with a level lawned section and a charming brick-laid sun terrace and corresponding pathway. Various plants and climbers offer colour and interest, with a timber-built planter beside the home ideal for vegetable growing.

The property resides in a convenient and highly sought-after city centre location just north of the River Cam within easy reach of the mainline railway station, with its links to London in well under an hour. On offer is a vast selection of amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, leisure and cultural facilities, galleries, museums, coffee shops, bars and eateries, along with the picturesque Botanic Gardens. The A11, M11 and A14 offer excellent road links. The area offers a good selection of independent schools including St. John’s College, King’s College, CATS Cambridge.
