Scotsdowne Road, Cambridge

This three bedroom terraced property has been lovingly maintained and is particularly notable as the current owners have been the only owners since it was built in 1968, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a long-held family home in this highly sought-after location.

The property is approached via a front garden and pathway leading to the entrance hall, which provides access to the kitchen, cloakroom, and the principal reception space. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with ample work surfaces and space for appliances, and enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front. To the rear, the generous sitting/dining room extends over 19 ft, offering excellent space for both relaxation and entertaining, with a glazed door leading into a bright conservatory overlooking the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a second comfortable double bedroom, and a well-proportioned single bedroom suitable for use as a guest room, nursery, or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, hand basin and w.c.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature planting, a patio area, and pathway providing a pleasant and private outdoor space. There is a wooden garden shed located at the end of the garden and a garage located nearby offers useful secure parking or storage.
