This impressive 1920s detached home enjoys a first class location within a short walk of Addenbrooke's Hospital. Set back from the road behind a high laurel hedge, there is a gravelled driveway which provides parking for several cars. There is an attractive brick and paved courtyard with box hedging leading to the front door.
The current owners employed the services of highly acclaimed architect Professor Ivor Richards RIBA, who at the time was Professor of Architecture at the University of Wales, to design the large extension. The result is splendid and the original charm and unique characteristics of the house remain unspoilt with the new part continuing the themes to ensure a seamless integration of new to old.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully planned and is extremely versatile.

The drawing room has a dual aspect and double doors to the front courtyard, there is also a fireplace with hand carved wooden surround, marble inset and hearth and coal effect gas fire. The large bay-windowed dining room also has a fireplace and is perfect for formal entertaining or special occasions. A bespoke double glazed conservatory provides a wonderful private space to take in and enjoy the garden, accessed via the sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with high quality German units and there is also a useful utility room. Of note is the large ground floor master bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and dressing room.
Upstairs, bedroom two has a feature bay window, built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are three further well proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and most impressive 45' studio/loft room with several Velux roof lights. This room is suitable for a multitude of uses and could easily be split to provide two further bedrooms.
