House For Sale £795,000
A wonderful Modernist house with garage and parking forming part of this prestigious award-winning development, which enjoys a quiet yet central location between Hills Road, Tenison Avenue and Station Road. The property is set within leafy communal gardens and also has a private landscaped garden to the rear. For sale with no onward chain.
Highsett is a secure and exclusive 4-hectare site, conveniently situated just off Hills Road in the heart of Cambridge, just a two minute walk to the Station and close to the University Botanic Gardens. No.84 forms part of this development, which was designed by Eric Lyons, an architect and former student of Walter Gropius, now widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modernist architecture. The property benefits from large windows and high ceilings giving a sense of space and light.
The entrance hall has a southerly aspect with views over a paved terrace. There is a light and airy sitting / dining room, which benefits from a dual aspect and high ceilings. Adjoining the dining area is a kitchen, which has been fitted with a range of cabinets with various integrated appliances and built-in storage solutions, including an understairs cupboard.
Upstairs are 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 of which include built-in cupboards. The landing has an airing cupboard and gives access to the bathroom which has been fitted with a white suite, complemented by tiled walls and a heated towel rail.
Outside, the development features delightful communal gardens, designed to resemble a college courtyard and provide a unique and peaceful setting in which to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The "bowl", which sits within the development has proven to be a most enjoyable communal area for residents over the years, having hosted garden parties amongst other events.
The property itself has a single garage (No.40) with electricity, which is located in a nearby block and benefits from being recently rewired and has a new consumer unit. The property has residents' permit parking and visitors permits. The front of the property has a paved patio, partly enclosed by brick walls and overlooking a mature and well-tended communal garden. The private rear garden extends to around 18m / 60ft and has been stocked with a delightful array of established shrubs, plants and trees, creating a real oasis of peace and tranquillity.
There is a service charge of £412.50 per quarter, covering the maintenance and upkeep of communal areas and gardens. Window, roof and gutter cleaning is also included. This is reviewed annually, and any increase is determined an increases in costs, but it should be noted that the estate is run by a residents committee to keep costs as low as possible.
Highsett is arguably one of the city's most desirable locations. Situated just off Hills Road between Station Road and Tenison Avenue, the property enjoys a quiet, yet central position and is a short walk from The Cambridge University Botanic Garden and the station.
The property would be ideal for young families, professionals or those looking to downsize from a larger city home. It is an ideal city home for commuters, within walking distance of the railway station and the city centre with its combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes, excellent choice of schools and wide range of shopping facilities.
The area is in catchment for a number Ofsted rated 'outstanding' schools, including St. Albans Catholic Primary School and Parkside Community College, whilst the acclaimed Hills Road Sixth Form College is also close by.
