Oxford Road, Cambridge

An attractive Victorian bay-fronted family house extending to around 1,580 sq ft, arranged over three floors and offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a notably flexible layout. Positioned on one of the city’s most established residential roads, the house combines the character and proportions associated with its period with the opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise certain areas to suit their own requirements.

The accommodation is well balanced and particularly suited to family life. At the front of the house, the sitting room retains a number of period features including a bay window, fireplace and fitted cabinetry, creating a comfortable principal reception room with good natural light. Beyond, a separate study provides valuable work-from-home space or a potential playroom, depending on requirements. To the rear, a substantial kitchen/dining room spans the width of the property and forms the natural heart of the house. Measuring over 20ft in length, the room offers generous space for everyday family living, dining and entertaining, with rooflights and glazed doors helping to draw light into the space and providing direct access to the garden.

The upper floors provide four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across two levels. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor alongside the family bathroom, while the second floor is dedicated to a particularly spacious principal bedroom with an en suite shower room and useful eaves storage. The arrangement offers a degree of separation that is likely to appeal to families with older children, guests or those seeking additional privacy.

Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and provides a manageable outdoor space with established planting and a timber garden shed. While some landscaping and improvement may be considered, the garden offers clear potential to create an attractive and practical extension of the living space. The front garden is set behind a low brick wall, enhancing the property's period street presence.

Oxford Road is a highly regarded residential street situated to the north of Cambridge city centre. The location places residents within easy reach of the city’s extensive range of shops, restaurants and cultural amenities, while also offering convenient access to Cambridge North Station, the Science Park, Business Park and the A14. The River Cam, Stourbridge Common and Midsummer Common are all nearby, providing valuable green space and attractive walking and cycling routes into the city.

A house with genuine flexibility, generous proportions and scope for further enhancement, offering an excellent opportunity in a consistently popular Cambridge location.
