6 Herbert Street is a bay fronted family home constructed with brick elevations under a slate roof. Since they purchased the property, the current owners (one of whom is an architect) have carried out a programme of refurbishment and alterations to create a superb family home. The works have been carried out to a high standard and the result is a wonderful contemporary property arranged over three floors.


Herbert Street lies to the south of Chesterton Road and to the west of De Freville Avenue in a much sought after residential area, close to the River Cam. The heart of the city centre is within easy walking or cycling distance via a bridge over the River Cam at the southern end of Pretoria Road, providing a delightful route across Midsummer Common and Jesus Green. The historic city centre has an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes, colleges and a wide range of shopping, educational and cultural amenities. Cambridge has also become the centre of the "high-tech" industry with the University's Research and Development Laboratories and the internationally recognised Science Park. The property also falls within the catchment of both Milton Road Primary School (Ofsted rating Good) and Chesterton Community College, which has achieved the highest Ofsted rating of ‘Outstanding’.

For the commuter, the M11 and A14 are both within about 1.75 miles and the city's mainline railway station (providing services to London’s King's Cross and Liverpool Street in about 52 minutes and 68 minutes respectively), is within about 1.25 miles.
