3 bed terraced house for sale

West View, Cambridge CB3

A characterful and broad, bay-fronted Victorian house of generous proportions occupying a superb, tucked-away position in the heart of Newnham. Sold with the benefit of no onward chain.

This charming terrace of just four properties occupies a superb, scarcely available location in the highly sought-after suburb of Newnham, a short distance to the west of the city centre. No. 2 offers broad, generously proportioned accommodation and has tremendous scope for expansion, subject to the necessary consents. It boasts a wealth of period features such as high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces, decorative cornicing and ornate ceiling roses. Whilst it has been very well maintained, the property would benefit from some modernisation.

Approached via a pedestrian pathway, the property has a small garden to the front, which is enclosed by iron railings and leads to the entrance. The entrance hallway has access to the principal rooms, a wide staircase to the first floor with storage under, and a side door to the rear courtyard. The reception rooms include a generous living room to the front and a dining room to the rear, with the former featuring a bay window and a fireplace with fitted shelving either side. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted units and shelves, with plenty of workspace, an integrated oven with a gas hob over, and spaces for further appliances.

On the first floor, the spacious landing has a large double storage cupboard and a hatch with a pull-down ladder to the sizeable attic space. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and incorporates two previously separate rooms, which could easily be reverted. There is a further double bedroom to the rear, which also includes fitted wardrobes. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including a bath, a pedestal wash basin, a WC, and has access to a large storage eave.

Outside, gated pedestrian access leads to an enclosed rear courtyard, which has access to a functioning WC, which also houses the boiler.
