Alpha Road, Cambridge

A beautifully reimagined 4 bedroom Victorian terraced residence, set over three floors and offering accommodation of around 1,523 sq ft, having undergone a meticulous programme of renovation and extension throughout and finished to exacting standards, offering an exceptional balance of period elegance and contemporary design.

Behind its attractive period façade, the house retains the character synonymous with Cambridge's sought-after Victorian terraces while seamlessly incorporating high-quality modern finishes and carefully considered living spaces. The accommodation centres around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, designed as the heart of the home and ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining. The beautifully appointed kitchen features a bespoke range of contemporary Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by elegant quartz work surfaces and matching splashbacks. A substantial central island provides an excellent focal point for informal dining and social gatherings, while a comprehensive suite of integrated Neff appliances ensures a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Flooded with natural light and opening directly onto the courtyard garden, this outstanding space effortlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. A separate reception room to the front provides an elegant retreat with traditional open fire.

The first and second floors provide four bedrooms, served by three beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms, including a luxurious principal suite. The thoughtful layout offers flexibility for growing families, guests or those requiring dedicated home-working space.

The comprehensive refurbishment extends far beyond the aesthetic. The property benefits from a new roof, new electrical, plumbing and central heating systems, high-performance double-glazed replacement windows and upgraded insulation to modern building standards, all installed during 2025/2026 to provide exceptional efficiency, comfort and peace of mind. The home also benefits from a 10-year structural warranty, offering reassurance for future ownership.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and provides a private setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. A substantial brick-built garden outbuilding offers valuable external storage for bicycles and garden equipment. The store has light, power, water and drainage connected.
