Fen Road, Cambridge

This Victorian terraced house is situated in Fen Road, between Fallowfield and Izaak Walton Way, and close to the shops and other amenities that Chesterton has to offer. The City centre is a pleasant walk or cycle away over the river and across Stourbridge Common. Cambridge North railway station is less than 10 minutes’ walk. The Chisholm Trail is even closer, and provides a gateway by bicycle or foot to many appealing attractions in the area. There are plenty of riverside walks on the doorstep.

The house stands a little way back from the pavement and has a long garden extending to about 120ft. There is an air-cleaning and ventilation system in the attic that brings fresh air to the house via a vent in the landing between the bedrooms. The property and the studios have been kept as chemical-free as possible (using VOC-free paints and varnish). The appliances (washing machine, drier, dishwasher and fridge) were all bought after 2021 and also have high energy efficiency ratings.
