2 bed Flat For Sale £950,000
Superbly situated split level dwelling in forever popular location adjacent to the boat houses along the River Cam
Description
92 Kimberley Road is an RIBA award winning property which was constructed during 1998 of buff brick elevations with timber double glazed windows beneath a tiled roof. The property, which is essentially single storey, extends to 1,172 sq ft of slightly split level accommodation has tall vaulted ceilings, lots of glazing and extensive exposed roof timbers. The property is accessed via a dual aspect vaulted entrance with a curved beech step to the open plan living accommodation.
To the south (right) is the kitchen which is fitted with a comprehensive range of matt white cabinetry along with pull out larder cupboard, granite working surfaces, integrated fridge with freezer compartment, stainless steel oven and microwave. There are slim high level windows to the rear along with views between 99’s Boat Club and City of Cambridge Boat Club to the River Cam and Midsummer Common.
The dining room and sitting room are open plan although ‘divided’ by custom furniture and glass display shelving, both rooms have beech strip wooden flooring, are vaulted and the sitting room has a painted brick fireplace and wall to wall custom book shelving. These two spaces can be shielded from the sun via sliding ‘Japanese’ style screens. The western elevation is fully glazed with sliding doors which access the mostly walled private courtyard garden.
The open plan hallway leads to a split level landing where the bedroom accommodation is situated, again, both rooms are vaulted, the main bedroom has extensive wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and the second bedroom has access via a ½ glazed door to a small covered outside space. The family shower (formerly bathroom) room has been refitted and comprises a oversized shower cubicle with overhead and body sprays, Duravit WC and contemporary wide basin with blue glass shelf and mirrored medicine cabinetry along with stylish understated white tiled walls and floor. The steps leading to the bedroom area can be lifted to access a superb cellar/basement space which houses the boiler and water tanks, with a little thought this could perhaps be modified to create a home office or hobbies area, above, and to the side is a large ‘attic’ storage space.
The former driveway is now the walled courtyard which is paved and a delightful sun trap, there is mature planting and shrubs along with a Japanese Paper Tree. Being south and west facing the courtyard garden attracts a great deal of light, there is a high level sun canopy and raised wooden terrace above the sitting room. The garage is now used as a store and has power/light connected and has an inspection pit within, this might also lend itself to further accommodation or studio if required.
Location
Kimberley Road is situated in the University city of Cambridge, tucked away behind the Cambridge boathouse and Cambridge 99s Rowing Club with views overlooking the river Cam and Midsummer Common.
There is a wide range of cultural and recreational amenities within the city, including The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge University Botanic Garden and Kettle’s Yard. There is punting available on the river Cam and various green spaces around the city including Midsummer Common (which can be accessed via footbridge and is just 0.4 miles away), Parkers Piece and Lammas. There is a live music and comedy venue The Junction located by the Cambridge Leisure Centre, 0.4 miles away from the station. Parkside Pools and Gym leisure centre are also 1.3 miles away, the latter of which offers a gym, 25 metre swimming pool, diving pool with boards and an onsite café.

For shopping, there is a popular busy daily market in Cambridge Market Square and further facilities can be found at The Grafton Centre and Grand Arcade shopping malls in central Cambridge.
Cambridge and Cambridge North railway stations are both 1.8 miles away with regular services into London Liverpool Street and Kings Cross (journeys taking from 50 minutes), as well as Stansted and Gatwick Airports. Cambridge is well connected for the A14, A10 and M11 which in turn leads to access down to the south towards London and Stansted.

For college students, Long and Hills Road sixth form colleges are 2.9 and 2 miles respectively. Kimberley Road is in catchment for Milton Road Primary School and Chesterton Community College.
