Chelwood Road, Cambridge

This substantial and versatile family home has been thoughtfully extended by the current owners to create a spacious and adaptable living environment.

The property is set back from the road and approached via a block-paved driveway, offering ample off-street parking. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor.

The impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room measures approximately 7.84m x 5.32m (25'9" x 17'5") and is bathed in natural light thanks to its dual aspect, making it an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, providing generous work surfaces and space for appliances. The dining area, positioned at the rear of the property, comfortably accommodates a large dining table and features sliding doors that open directly onto the garden.

The dual-aspect sitting room spans the full length of the house, creating a bright and airy reception space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A ground-floor WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, including three generous doubles—all benefiting from built-in storage. The standout is the principal bedroom, which features its own dressing room and en suite shower room. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, including a shower over the bath.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by wooden panel fencing, providing a safe and private outdoor space. A paved patio area to the rear of the house offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

Cherry Hinton is a village within the city, what geographers might call the urban-rural fringe, which is perhaps the best of both worlds – local facilities within walking distance, the main city itself only a couple of miles away and countryside just as close.

At the time of writing the main village High Street has all you could need day-to-day – shops, a library, a local building society branch, pharmacy, GP surgery, barbers, takeaways, pub, post office – you get the idea. And on the village outskirts is a major Tesco supermarket for your big shop. Cambridge smartest private health club is in the village with its tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, spa and wellbeing centre, restaurant and other accoutrements.

There are two primary schools, with Netherhall secondary school less than half a mile out of the village.

Cherry Hinton Hall is a lovely riverside public park, full of mature trees and fun playgrounds and a summertime paddling pool that imprints on the childhood memories of anyone who grows up round here.
