The Crescent, Cambridge, CB3

Superbly situated modern detached family home with flexible accommodation

Description

Of particular interest is the large entrance hallway which is partly vaulted and has two bedrooms and a shower room off to the left which could prove useful as a ‘teenagers wing’, further reception rooms/study or those who might have restricted mobility. The main sitting and dining room is long and open plan and has a dual aspect including wide glazed double doors to the garden, and a gas fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has a matching range of cabinetry and comprises integrated dish washer and double oven along with spaces for fridge/freezer and washing machine.

There are three further bedrooms at first floor including two doubles, the primary bedroom has wall to wall built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room, along with a family bathroom. The property has been well looked after by the current sellers and comprises largely original fittings and might now benefit from a program of upgrading. Fitted with a gas fired central heating system, the property can be seen in greater detail on the attached floorplans and is being offered with no onward chain.

The property, which is one of five similar houses, is set back from The Crescent beyond a brick paved driveway providing off street parking for several cars and includes a tall car port and adjacent single brick built garage with an internal courtyard beyond. The rear garden is fully enclosed and comprises of a wide paved terrace with gravel and hard landscaped area beyond for lower maintenance, and a ‘secret ‘ slightly overgrown garden beyond which is very private.
