19 Grantchester Road, Cambridge

A handsome new-build four bedroom property built to a fine, traditional design across three storeys. Just one of a pair of new homes in this most sought-after location of Newnham, about 1 mile to the west of the city centre.

Each property has been carefully designed to expertly blend traditional style with today’s modern living, providing considered space with careful choices, elegant detailing and with meticulous attention to detail throughout. The properties benefit from superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family rooms to the rear of the home with bespoke handcrafted exquisite kitchens being the centrepiece, together with separate spacious living rooms. Beautifully crafted French doors open to landscaped private gardens of manageable size, with patio for outdoors-in living and enjoyment.

Photos shown are of 17 Grantchester Road. 19 Grantchester Road is the right-hand semi-detached property due for completion around the end of October.

19 Grantchester Road offers living accommodation extending to around 1970 sq ft, set over three floors and comprises spacious entrance hall with beautiful oak flooring laid to a traditional herringbone design, leading to a spacious living room to the front featuring a large bay window. The oak flooring continues into the living room, providing an elegant finish and sense of flow. The hallway then leads to a superb kitchen/dining/family room which is particularly worthy of note, featuring luxurious custom-built handcrafted solid wood units complimented with natural Carrara Marble work surfaces and integrated appliances. A utility room with matching cabinetry provides useful extra storage, and natural limestone flooring runs throughout. Large French doors open out from the kitchen/dining/family room to a patio and enclosed garden beyond.

The first-floor accommodation comprises a light an airy landing leading to bedroom 2 to the front of the property. A most generous room featuring a large bay window, well-appointed ensuite bathroom with natural travertine stone tiles, and dressing room. There are two further bedrooms to this floor, along with a family bathroom again fitted with natural travertine tiles.

To the second floor there is sizable landing/study/dressing area featuring bespoke fitted wardrobes and storage. This leads to the principal bedroom 1 suite; a large light-filled and interesting room with vaulted ceilings and ample scope for zoning including seating and reading areas, if desired. A well-appointed ensuite compliments this floor.

Outside, the property is set back from the road with driveway parking for one car, landscaping and bespoke wrought iron fencing to divide the two properties. A pathway leads to the rear enclosed private garden, laid to lawn, and with patio finished in Indian sandstone.
