Humberstone Road, Cambridge

A unique, architect-designed, Victorian home with a detached studio and double garage, located in De Freville within easy reach of the train station and this historic city's wealth of attractions.

No.67 Humberstone Road represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in a near central position, offering a blend of both period and contemporary features. The property has been extended to incorporate a magnificent vaulted kitchen/dining/family room with a central island, skylights and bi-folding doors opening on a landscaped garden.

The property is entered via a stained glass door with fanlight over, leading to an entrance hall with storage cupboards, stairs to the floor and access to a useful utility area, which houses a boiler. There is a large bay-fronted living room with two feature fireplaces, finished with engineered wood flooring and with custom fitted blinds. Of particular note is the property's impressive 40 sqm kitchen/dining/family room, which has been fitted with a stylish and bespoke range of kitchen units, including various integrated appliances and boasts an abundance of natural light, courtesy of three skylights and a large set of bi-folding doors. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a refitted shower room, with a large walk-in shower, a vaulted ceiling and a contemporary, internal slit window.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and contemporary panelling. The first-floor refitted shower room is complemented by attractive tiling and a heated towel rail. The landing provides access to a partially boarded loft.

Outside, the front of the property is set back behind a shallow ease of maintenance front garden with a low-level wall and there is a pathway to the main entrance. The landscaped rear garden offers a superb degree of privacy and measures about 39’ x 16’. There is a smart garden studio equipped with power and lighting, as well as a double garage with an electric up-and-over door. The garden itself is principally paved and shingled for ease-of-maintenance, stocked with a variety of established beds, planting and trees, and gives a sense of a real oasis.
