House For Sale £1,950,000
Handsome family house on a sought after city road.
Description
29 Porson Road is a handsome detached house constructed in 1956 of red brick elevations beneath a tiled roof set within a delightful plot of about 0.27 of an acre on this popular South of city road.
This lovely home retains many original features such as Arts & Crafts style staircase, oak parquet floors and attractive symmetrical elevations to the front and rear. It also has the benefit of high speed fibre broadband.
The property is approached over a block paved driveway with parking for several cars which leads past a front garden laid to lawn behind a mature hedge. The house is entered through a centrally positioned Bath stone porch which leads through an oak door into the hallway which in turn communicates with the main rooms on the ground floor.
To the right a light airy drawing room gives views of the front garden and benefits from an Ivett & Reed stone fireplace with slate hearth. Beyond to the rear is a dual aspect family room/study with a vaulted ceiling and views over the rear garden. To the left of hall is a dual aspect dining room.
To the rear accessed from the hall or the family room/study is a well-proportioned kitchen with modern wall and floor mounted units. There is a stainless steel Neff double oven, induction hob and extractor hood. There is plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher alongside space for a freestanding fridge, kitchen table and chairs.
This lovely space is enhanced with black and white porcelain tiles which flow out to the garden room with views beyond over the lawn and double doors opening onto the patio. To the left is a large pantry which also accesses the garage which has an up and over electric door.
A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms, three with built-in storage and a family bathroom with a large cast iron bath and overhead shower. There is also a separate WC. The principal bedroom also has an en suite bathroom and outlook over the front and rear gardens.
The rear garden is particularly special offering a wonderful outlook and great privacy. In addition to an extensive patio, it has a large lawn surrounded by well-stocked borders and several mature specimen trees. There is a large shed at the rear of the garden and a hardwood greenhouse on the rear terrace which has mains power and water.
We believe there is a fantastic potential for enlargement and improvement, with the possibility of readily extending the property into the large loft space subject to the correct permissions.
Location
For schooling there is a variety of private schools available for all ages in the city, including The Leys, St. Mary’s, The Stephen Perse Foundation and The Perse, as well as sixth form colleges Hills and Long Road.
Comprehensive range of shopping facilities in the City centre including The Grafton Centre and the Grand Arcade shopping malls and a busy daily market. There is also a Waitrose supermarket 1.1 miles (approx) in Trumpington.
Porson Road is approximately 1.1 miles away from Addenbrooke’s and The Royal Papworth Hospitals as well as the Cambridge Biomedical Campus - the largest centre of medical research and health science in Europe. There are numerous recreational and cultural amenities in close proximity including Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Arts Theatre and Fitzwilliam Museum as well as ‘Cambridge Leisure’ - a large multi-screen, bowling alley and restaurant complex with live music/comedy venue, The Junction.
For the commuter, Cambridge station is 1.5 miles away, accessible both by road and via a nearby cycle path and provides regular services into London (King’s Cross and Liverpool Street) with travel times from 48 minutes.
