Gainsborough Close, Cambridge

A much improved and beautifully presented home, quietly positioned within a traffic-free cul-de-sac, featuring a private south-west facing garden and within easy walking distance of Cambridge North Railway Station and the Science Park.

The current owners have thoughtfully reconfigured the property from its original two-bedroom layout to create a well-proportioned three-bedroom home, achieved by converting the main bedroom without extending the footprint. Further highlights include a modern kitchen and bathroom, a converted conservatory now used as a dining room, and the addition of solar panels with battery storage installed in 2023.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall leading to a modern fitted kitchen with a contemporary range of units and a selection of integrated appliances. The separate living room is a generous size and features karndean flooring, with double doors opening into the rear conservatory. This space was upgraded in 2023 with a lightweight insulated roof, transforming it into a comfortable, year-round room currently used as a dining area.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. The two main bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom features bespoke fitted furniture. The layout reflects the sellers’ recent alteration, converting the original main bedroom to create the additional third bedroom. A modern family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the property is approached via a pathway passing well-tended open-plan front gardens, mature trees, and communal lawn areas that together form this attractive close. There is ample on-street parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. To the rear, the south-west facing garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a low-maintenance outdoor space, ideal for a busy working family, and further benefits from a 156 ft outbuilding with power.
