Mawson Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB1

Beautiful three bed corner house with two bed former stable block annexe.

Description

This charming former shop-front home is located on a quiet road in central Cambridge and has been redesigned by the current owner to create a bright, spacious home spanning over 1,500 sq ft with an additional annexe (580 sq ft) located across the garden. The house was built in the late 19th century and originally operated as a grocer’s shop.

The front door opens into a small foyer and leads into a spacious, open-plan kitchen at the rear. The kitchen is filled with light from the original sash windows, and a clever use of joinery has transformed the former shop door into a practical corner cabinet. The kitchen offers a generous amount of counterspace and shelving, with enough room for a large dining room table and chairs. Just off the kitchen is a utility area with sleek, custom cabinetry that conceals integrated modern appliances.

A skylit hallway leads to a comfortable sitting room with French doors that open to the garden and a Jotul wood burner. The cellar is also accessed via a staircase from the hallway.

On first floor level, the principal bedroom features large sash windows on two sides allowing plenty of natural light and benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a roll top bath with views overlooking the garden. The second bedroom and a family bathroom complete this floor. On the top floor is the third bedroom which spans the entire floor and is served by an en suite.

Outside, the former stables at the rear of the garden have been transformed into a charming guest house/annexe. The guesthouse spans two floors, with a kitchen/dining area, and two large bedrooms both served by en suites.

The courtyard garden which links the main house to the annexe is planted with an array of trees including olive, rosemary, euphorbia and climbing roses. There are various seating areas, perfect for alfresco dining, and a side gate which provides easy access to the street.
