Cavendish Avenue, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB1

Exceptional opportunity to buy a detached Victorian villa.

Description

13 Cavendish Avenue is an attractive Victorian detached property sitting in gardens measuring 0.31 acres. This property which dates back to 1888 is located on a much sought-after road on the south side of Cambridge just off Hills Road. The detached property which is offered with no upward chain could benefit from a refurbishment, reconfiguration and extension program.

The property is approached behind a low wooden fence with small trees and shrubs, and a gravel driveway leading to a panelled front door on the side of the property. Inside the wide hallway communicates from the principal rooms on the ground floor. To the right is a large double reception room with views and access to the rear garden at the far end. To the left is an attractive drawing room with a bay window overlooking the front garden and to the rear of the hall is a dining room with access into a garden room which has been used by the previous owners as a utility space. At the rear to the right is a well-appointed Aga kitchen with floor and wall mounted Shaker style country kitchen with plentiful work surfaces and there is also a traditional larder cupboard. Access at the rear leads to the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs on the first floor access through a wide staircase there are four bedrooms, two well-proportioned bedrooms at the front a further smaller bedroom which could still accommodate a double bed and an en suite bedroom at the rear with a shower room. A traditional bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation.

The gardens outside are truly magical with a large terrace off the back of the house and a central walled terrace in the centre of the garden. There are multiple specimen trees and the borders are well stocked with herbaceous plants. There is a large wooden summer house at the rear of the garden which could, subject to the right permissions, be converted to a home office/gym or additional accommodation. To the right of the house is a large double garage with up and over doors.
