34 Grantchester Road occupies a superb location in the highly desirable area of Newnham, on the west side of the city. Believed to date from the Edwardian era, the property is a fine example of the period with well-proportioned rooms and high ceilings. During the present owner’s occupation, the property has been tastefully improved and modernised with care being taken to retain the period features, which include open fireplaces, moulded cornicing, dado and picture rails, deep skirtings and sash windows. The roof tiles were also replaced with Welsh slate approximately 3 years ago.


Grantchester Road lies within the Newnham area, which is widely regarded as one of the best residential locations in the city. Local facilities include a post office, chemist, bakers, butchers, grocers, small supermarket and a primary school. Lammas Land Recreation Ground, with a large children's play area, tennis court and paddling pool, is within about half a mile.

The historic city centre is about 1 mile away and can be reached by a very pleasant walk over Lammas Land and Coe Fen. The city provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes, the tree lined River Cam and an extensive range of shopping facilities. The property is also extremely well placed for many of the Colleges, University Departments, 'The Backs' and delightful walks along the river to the nearby village of Grantchester. An excellent range of schools for all ages are within half or three-quarters of a mile including St. John's, King's, The Ley's, The Stephen Perse Foundation and St. Mary's.
