Ditton Lane, Cambridge

A light-filled 1930s family home with an impressive kitchen extension, large private garden and excellent access to the city and river.

This attractive 1930s semi-detached house is set back from the road with generous off-road parking and a garage, positioned on a plot of around 0.12 acres (497 sqm). It offers 110 sqm / 1189 sqft of well-arranged accommodation, including a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room, two interlinked reception areas, three bedrooms and a ground floor wc.

Inside, the ground floor has been thoughtfully extended and reconfigured. The bright entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with a bay window and fireplace, opening through to a family room/play area with a continuation of the wood floors and a second fireplace. This flows seamlessly into a superb vaulted kitchen/dining space, bathed in natural light from large skylights and a full-height glazed gable, with bi-fold doors to the garden. The kitchen features sleek black units, stone worktops, a central island with breakfast bar and a lovely connection to the outdoors.

There’s a separate utility room, a ground-floor wc, and useful internal access from the carport. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two generous doubles and a single, along with a modern family bathroom.

Outside, the garden is beautifully established with mature planting, lawn and patio, ideal for families and keen gardeners alike. The detached garage is an ideal space for a workshop or great storage.

The property lies northeast of the city centre, well-located for access to the river, local schools, retail parks, and green spaces. A traffic-free cycle route into the centre or Cambridge North takes around 10 minutes.

Three primary schools, Galfrid and Fen Ditton, are within cycling or walking distance, and the secondary schools are in Bottisham or Coleridge.

For commuters, there are excellent links to the M11, A14, and A11 road networks.
