Long Reach Road, Cambridge, CB4

Hold on before you read any further, take a look at the 360 virtual tour!

Long Reach Road is a well presented three/four bedroom semi detached home with an excellent range of outbuildings, a generous rear garden, off road parking for multiple vehicles and an EV charger, all tucked away on a quiet residential street within a short walk of Cambridge North Station and the River Cam.

This is a particularly appealing next step home for professional couples and young families who want more space without giving up quick access into Cambridge or London. The house itself offers comfortable and practical accommodation, while the garden office, gym, workshop and storage spaces give the property a level of versatility that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the city.

The ground floor begins with an entrance porch and hallway, with a useful shower room and WC providing a second washroom away from the main first floor bathroom. The living room is a generous, well presented space with plenty of room for larger furniture, while the adjoining dining room provides a separate area for family meals and entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

The kitchen sits alongside the dining room and offers a good amount of storage and worktop space, creating a practical layout for everyday family life while still keeping the living and dining areas separate. The kitchen also benefits from a sizeable pantry area with power.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two well proportioned doubles and a third bedroom that would work particularly well as a child's room, nursery or additional home office. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the first floor.

Outside is where this home really separates itself from many similarly priced homes in the area.

The driveway provides off road parking for multiple vehicles and is already equipped with an EV charger. To the rear is a particularly long garden, giving younger families plenty of space for children, pets, entertaining and further landscaping.

Running along one side of the garden is a substantial collection of outbuildings currently arranged as a workshop, storage area and dedicated home gym. Whether you need space for bikes, tools, hobbies, gym equipment or simply the storage that family life inevitably seems to create, it is an unusually useful addition.

At the far end of the garden is a separate insulated office with power and lighting. It makes an excellent permanent work from home environment away from the main house, but its size and separation also lend themselves to use as a teenage retreat, hobby room or occasional guest space. Alongside this is a substantial covered area, adding yet another flexible space for entertaining or outdoor use.

For anyone trying to balance London commuting, working from home and family life, this is a property that offers considerably more flexibility than its three bedroom layout might initially suggest. If more space is required, the layout and building position on the plot could lend itself to a sizable extension (subject to relevant planning permissions). 

Location

The position is arguably one of the property's biggest selling points. Cambridge North Station is around a 5 to 10 min walk away, making this an excellent option for anyone travelling regularly for work. Services run from Cambridge North to both London King's Cross and London Liverpool Street, while the station also provides rail connections towards Stansted Airport, Ely, King's Lynn and Norwich.

For professional buyers, that means being able to leave the car at home and walk to the station rather than building a drive across Cambridge into the morning commute. Cambridge North itself also continues to develop as a destination, with an East of England Co-op at One Cambridge Square providing everyday groceries, bakery goods and food to go immediately alongside the station.

Just as importantly, the location works when you are not commuting. The River Cam and the open spaces around Stourbridge Common are close by, giving residents easy access to riverside walking, running and cycling routes. It is the sort of location where an evening dog walk can genuinely mean heading down to the river rather than simply circling residential streets. The nearby Chisholm Trail also forms a dedicated walking and cycling route between Cambridge North and Cambridge Station, helping connect this side of the city with central and southern Cambridge without relying on the car.

Families are also well served by local recreation facilities. Chesterton Recreation Ground includes sports pitches, a children's playground, pump track, skate ramp and free table tennis, while the wider Chesterton area provides local shops and services and remains within easy reach of the larger retail and leisure facilities around Newmarket Road and Cambridge Retail Park.

There are several schools nearby. Shirley Community Primary School is close by and was rated Good by Ofsted. Chesterton Primary School, also nearby, is currently rated Good. For older children, North Cambridge Academy is rated Good, while Chesterton Community College's February 2025 inspection judged quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and sixth form provision all Outstanding.

For a young family or professional couple looking to step up from a smaller home or apartment, 46 Long Reach Road offers a compelling combination: a quiet residential setting, generous garden, excellent parking, flexible outbuildings, room to work from home and one of Cambridgeshire's best rail connections within walking distance.
