Kirkby Close, Cambridge

Kirkby Close is a three-bedroom home of approximately 932 sq ft, set within an established residential cul-de-sac just off Milton Road. The arrangement is straightforward and practical, with a notably long open-plan sitting and dining room, three useful bedrooms and a garage alongside. For buyers wanting a manageable home in north Cambridge, particularly with access towards the Science Park, Cambridge North and the city, the combination of space and position is a sensible one.

The ground floor is largely given over to the sitting and dining room, which extends to over 25 ft and provides enough length to establish distinct sitting and dining areas. Glazed doors at the rear connect directly with the garden, while wood-effect flooring runs through much of the space to give the ground floor a simple, consistent finish.

The kitchen sits alongside the dining area and measures approximately 9'3" x 9'7". Fitted cabinetry around three sides provides a useful amount of cupboard and worktop space, complemented by a built-in oven, gas hob and extractor, stainless-steel sink beneath the rear window, space for a tall fridge freezer and provision for a washing machine. A dark tiled splashback contrasts with the timber-effect cabinetry. A breakfast bar and opening towards the dining area provide a useful visual connection with the main living space, while a separate door gives direct access to the garden.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The two larger rooms are comfortably proportioned, while the third works as a credible single bedroom and is currently arranged with both a bed and substantial desk, demonstrating its usefulness for home working. The bathroom includes a separate shower enclosure, with the WC positioned separately alongside.

The rear garden is enclosed and relatively low maintenance, with a paved seating area surrounded by established trees and planting that give it a pleasantly sheltered character. To the front, the property has driveway parking and an integral garage, useful both for a vehicle and for the storage that family life tends to require.

Kirkby Close sits in a particularly practical part of north Cambridge, with many day-to-day needs available locally and is particularly well placed for north Cambridge's principal employment and transport connections. Cambridge North station provides rail services towards Cambridge city centre, London and Ely, while the surrounding district includes the Cambridge Science Park and the growing North East Cambridge employment area.

Milton Road and the surrounding residential streets provide supermarkets, convenience shopping, cafés, takeaways and other everyday services and provides a direct connection into the city by bicycle or bus. There are also several green spaces within north Cambridge, including Stourbridge Common and Ditton Meadows further east, offering attractive walking and cycling routes towards the River Cam. Families are also well served for education, with Milton Road Primary School nearby and secondary provision including Chesterton Community College and North Cambridge Academy within north Cambridge.
