Rock Road, Cambridge

A handsome terraced home, set towards the end of Rock Road, one of Cambridge’s more established and sought-after residential streets. This period home offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find — characterful accommodation, a west facing garden, and the rare addition of a garage, workshop, and off-street parking. The house extends to just under 1400 sq ft, with further outbuildings, and provides a layout that will suit buyers looking for both charm and practical flexibility.

The ground floor retains a traditional arrangement, with a front sitting room set within a bay window, providing a comfortable and well-proportioned reception space. A separate dining room sits centrally, linking through to a living room and the kitchen beyond, creating a natural progression of spaces that work well both independently and together. The kitchen is positioned to the rear, alongside a shower room, and connects to a lean-to which offers additional utility and storage potential. The overall layout allows for adaptation over time, whether to open up or retain defined rooms.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. The principal and second bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, with two further rooms offering flexibility for family use, guests or working from home. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, w.c, and handbasin.

Outside is a westerly facing rear garden, with patio areas and lawn. At the far end is a detached garage with an inspection pit and separate workshop, providing space for storage or hobbies — a rare provision so close to the city. The property also benefits from parking spaces to the front and rear.
