Glisson Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

An elegant, bay fronted Victorian house, located in this highly desirable central city location; ideally placed for access to the city centre, Cambridge mainline railway station and the Botanical Gardens.

Cambridge city centre 0.7 miles, Mainline Railway Station (King’s Cross and Liverpool Street lines) 0.5 miles, Addenbrooke’s Hospital/Biomedical Campus 1.7 miles, M11 (junction 11) 3 miles, Stanstead Airport 26 miles (distances are approximate).

59 Glisson Road is an exceptional bay fronted, semi-detached Victorian house built with brick elevations under a slate roof. Dating back to 1895, the house retains an abundance of beautiful period features, all of which have been carefully maintained and enhanced over the years. These include working fireplaces, recently replaced double glazed sash windows, picture rails, original wooden flooring and ornate coving, all contributing to the character and elegance of the property.

The property occupies a particularly generous plot for this highly sought after central city location, with unspoiled rear views over Hughes Hall tennis courts and across to Fenner’s cricket pitch beyond, providing an open and peaceful outlook rarely found so close to the city centre. Additionally, there is further scope for off road parking to the front, subject to the necessary dropped kerb application through Cambridge City Council, adding valuable potential in this area. Arranged over three storeys, the accommodation is believed to extend to approximately 2,500 sq ft and offers flexible, well-proportioned living space.
