Sturton Street, Cambridge

Sturton Street is situated on the east side of the city, and within walking distance of the city centre. The property is also conveniently placed for access to the mainline railway station with services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in about 48 and 72 minutes respectively.
The city provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern building, winding lanes, excellent shopping facilities and the tree lined River Cam. The city has also become a 'high-tech' and 'bio-tech' hub with the University Research and Development Laboratories, the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park and Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus which is planning to be one of the largest centres of health, science and medical research in the world.

This bay -fronted Edwardian property was believed to have been built in 1903. The current owner (who is downsizing) has updated the property during her 20 years or so of ownership (new roof (2003)/windows/ garden room etc) whist retaining its intrinsic period character/charm.
