Fabulous three storey townhouse in popular Newnham district.

Description

25 Grantchester Street is a beautifully presented Victorian home arranged over three floors, offering over 1,540 sq ft of stylish and well-balanced living space. With impressive kerb appeal and a striking period façade, this substantial property combines the charm of original features with the comfort and convenience of a modern finish. Character features such as cast iron fireplaces, panelled doors, exposed wooden floorboards, and traditional sash windows are tastefully complimented by contemporary design throughout.

The ground floor is truly exceptional, boasting an expansive open-plan layout that flows seamlessly from the welcoming sitting area, complete with a working open fire, into a vaulted dining space and through to a bright and well-equipped kitchen, which has glazed doors connecting to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated appliances and an array of wall and base units. A separate utility room, a cloakroom, and a large cupboard/drying room offer excellent additional storage and completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the accommodation is spread across two upper floors, each comprising two bedrooms and a modern bath or shower room. The front-facing bedrooms are particularly generous, running the full width of the house and filled with natural light. Both rooms feature original fireplaces, while the principal bedroom includes an extensive selection of fitted wardrobes, cupboards, and drawers. The property is offered to the market with no onward chain and the accommodation can be seen in greater detail on the attached floorplans.

Outside, the house is set back slightly from the road behind a low brick wall and a charming quarry-tiled path that leads to the front door. To the rear, the property opens onto a delightful walled courtyard garden—a private and peaceful spot ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing. A secure rear gate provides convenient access to Derby Street, perfect for bicycles, bins, or general day-to-day ease. Residents’ permit parking is also available from the city council.
