An extended four bedroom semi detached family home offering approximately 1378sqft of accommodation across three floors, with off road parking, a generous private rear garden and a superb layout that has been designed around modern family life.

The property has been significantly improved and extended, including a rear extension and a loft conversion which has created an excellent principal bedroom suite. It is this extra space that really sets the house apart from many others along the road, giving families the bedroom accommodation, living space and flexibility needed to stay here for the longer term.

The ground floor provides a versatile arrangement of reception areas. To the front is a separate bay fronted living room, currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating how easily the room can adapt to suit different needs. It would work equally well as a more traditional lounge, playroom or dedicated workspace.

Moving towards the rear, the house opens into the main family living space. A sitting area flows into the extended kitchen and dining room, creating a sociable open plan space for everyday family life and entertaining. Multiple skylights bring plenty of natural light into the extension, while the modern kitchen provides a good amount of preparation and storage space.

Large doors open directly from the dining area onto an impressive covered deck. This effectively creates another usable living area during the warmer months, with plenty of space for outdoor sofas, dining furniture and entertaining while remaining sheltered from the elements. Beyond this is the enclosed rear garden, which has been attractively planted with established shrubs and borders while retaining a good area of lawn for children, pets and everyday use. The garden feels private and provides a welcome escape from the city without demanding excessive maintenance.

The first floor provides three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles of very similar proportions, making them particularly well suited to growing children who inevitably start keeping score of who got the bigger room. The fourth bedroom is a comfortable single and could also make an ideal nursery or additional study. These bedrooms are served by a modern shower room.

The loft conversion has transformed the second floor into an excellent principal suite. The bedroom itself measures approximately 17ft in length and offers ample space for a large bed and additional furniture, while a separate dressing area and private en suite bathroom make this feel like a genuinely separate retreat from the rest of the house. For parents with older children downstairs, that separation could become increasingly valuable.

Outside, the block paved frontage provides convenient off road parking, while the established rear garden and substantial covered entertaining area make the outside space every bit as practical as the interior.

Altogether, this is a home that gets the important family fundamentals right. There are three good double bedrooms plus a single, two bathrooms, several different living areas, space to work from home, off road parking and a proper garden, with the extension and loft conversion providing considerably more accommodation than the original house would have offered.

Location

Birdwood Road sits in a particularly convenient part of Cambridge, giving families easy access to the city while also placing many everyday amenities within the surrounding neighbourhood. Mill Road, Cherry Hinton Road and the wider Romsey area provide a wide choice of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and local services, while Cambridge city centre is approximately two miles away.

Cambridge railway station is under a mile from the property as the crow flies, making it particularly appealing for commuters. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Addenbrooke's Hospital are also approximately 1.5 to 2 miles away depending on route, putting one of the city's largest employment areas within easy cycling distance.

Connectivity in this part of Cambridge has also improved further following the opening of Cambridge South station in June 2026. Positioned directly beside the Biomedical Campus, the station provides direct services to destinations including London King's Cross, London Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport, alongside connections towards Birmingham, Brighton, Ely and Peterborough.

Families are particularly well served for schooling. Ridgefield Primary School is walking distance and is rated Good by Ofsted, while St Bede's Inter-Church School is also around 200 metres away and was rated Outstanding in every inspection category following its June 2024 inspection. Coleridge Community College is similarly close, around a quarter of a mile away, and is listed by Ofsted as Good.

Morley Memorial Primary School and Queen Edith Primary School provide further options in the wider area and are both rated Good by Ofsted. As always, buyers should check current admissions criteria and catchment arrangements directly with the relevant school or local authority.
