Warkworth Street, Cambridge

An elegant and characterful, bay-fronted Victorian house with a south-facing garden, situated in the popular Kite area of the city, available with the added benefit of no onward chain.

This bright and attractive, late Victorian house enjoys a quiet, near central city location and offers well-proportioned accommodation of around 1300 sqft / 120 sqm. The property boasts a wealth of period features and has served as a prime city residence to our owners for over 32 years.

The property is entered via a stained glass door with a fanlight over, leading to a welcoming entrance hall with stairs to first-floor and retaining the decorative archway and corbels. There is a large bay-fronted sitting room with high ceilings and a striking open fireplace, contrasted by exposed brickwork and a decorative solid wood surround. The adjoining dining room benefits from southerly aspects, a feature fireplace and built-in shelving. There is an inner hall with two understairs storage cupboards and access to a cloakroom W.C. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a bright kitchen finished with attractive tiling. The kitchen itself has been fitted with a range of units and finished with marble worktops; integrated appliances include a double oven, a microwave and an induction hob with an extractor over. A stable door opens onto the private rear garden.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles. The master bedroom is particularly spacious, includes a bay-window, built-in cupboard and shelving. The landing has an airing cupboard and provides access to an insulated loft.

Outside, the front of the property is set back behind a shallow front garden with a low brick wall and a mature hedgerow. A gate opens onto a quarry-tiled pathway to the front door. There is a secure side gate providing access to the walled, south-facing garden via a useful sheltered passageway, which has storage for bikes and gardening equipment. The garden measures 50’ x 27’ and has a block paved patio, well suited to alfresco dining. The remainder is laid to lawn and stocked with a variety of shrubs and mature trees.

Location - Warkworth Street lies within a conservation area within the highly sought-after Kite district of the city, just a few hundred yards from Parker's Piece and Christ’s Pieces. The heart of the city centre with its extensive shopping and cultural facilities, colleges and tree lined River Cam, is just a short walk away.

Sports enthusiasts are well served with Parkside Swimming Pool, Kelsey Kerridge Sports centre and Fenner’s Cricket Ground all within proximity. Cambridge is not only world-renowned for its academic achievements but is also an important centre for the “high-tech” and “bio-tech” Industries including the University Research and Development laboratories, Science Park, ARM, Microsoft, Astra Zeneca and Addenbrooke's Hospital / Biomedical Campus.

For the commuter, there is a mainline railway station within about three quarters of a mile providing regular services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in about 52 minutes and 67 minutes respectively.
