Montague Road, Cambridge

The property is situated on the sought after De Freville estate just to the north of the river Cam. There is local shopping and cafes close by at Mitcham’s Corner and on Chesterton Road. There is primary schooling at Milton Road and secondary schooling at Chesterton Community College and a range of independent schools are within easy reach. The city centre can be approached by foot or by bicycle via the Fort St George footbridge leading to Midsummer Common and Jesus Green.

This property has only had 4 owners since being built in 1893 with the current family ownership extending to 67 years. The residence would now benefit from updating and offers good scope for extending/re-modelling. The house was totally rewired in 2017 with the main chimney repointed, and new guttering fitted throughout in 2021. An architect has been I commissioned to produce a potential scheme showing extension on both ground floor and first floor to provide more modern living accommodation. Copies of these plans are available to view at the property or, upon request, we can send them out to anyone who is particularly interested in seeing them prior to viewing.

Set within a delightful rear garden, the property provides an opportunity for a purchaser to put their own stamp on a property in one of the city's most favoured areas.
