3 bed terraced house for sale

French's Road, Cambridge CB4

A charming and characterful Victorian mid-terrace house on French's Road, offering well-presented and surprisingly versatile accommodation, together with a delightful established garden and an excellent detached garden studio.

The house has been thoughtfully improved whilst retaining much of the character associated with a property of this period. Presented in good order throughout, it has an attractive traditional façade and benefits from double-glazed sash windows, installed in 2017 and a new boiler installed in 2025.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive open-plan living and dining room, extending to approximately 8.93 metres at its maximum. This is a particularly appealing space, with timber flooring, a wood-burning stove and excellent natural light. The open staircase and long sight lines through the house, give the accommodation a notably light and contemporary feel whilst retaining a sense of Victorian character.

To the rear is a well-appointed kitchen, fitted with a range of white cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces. Roof glazing and windows provide plentiful natural light, while a door gives access to the garden. Beyond the kitchen is the family bathroom, attractively finished with white metro tiling and comprising a bath with a shower over, WC and a wash basin. The bathroom also benefits from electric underfloor heating.

The hand made oak staircase leads up to the first floor where are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room with timber flooring. The two further bedrooms provide useful flexibility for children, guests or home working. The loft space accessed from this floor is fully boarded and insulated.

A particular feature of the property is the garden. Mature planting, established shrubs and trees create an unusually leafy and secluded setting, with a paved pathway leading through the garden to the detached studio.

Built in 2018, the garden studio provides approximately 18.3 sqm (197 sqft ) of additional accommodation. Designed with a vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams and extensive glazing overlooking the garden, it is a highly adaptable space currently suited to use as a home office, music room or studio. Importantly, it has its own en suite shower room, making it equally well suited to occasional guest or further bedroom accommodation.

Directly behind the garden studio is a private parking space, which is accessed via a quiet track to the rear of the property. The track also provides additional off-road parking on a first come served basis.
