Description

Nestled at the tranquil end of Kimberley Road within the esteemed De Freville conservation area of West Chesterton, this Edwardian terraced house offers a promising canvas for renovation. The property is conveniently located just a short stroll from the River Cam and Midsummer Common, easily accessible via the Fort St George footbridge. The front garden, bordered by a low brick wall and featuring a tiled path leading to the entrance, reflects its period character while providing potential for enhancement. Upon entering, you are greeted by an entrance hall that showcases original architectural details such as cornicing and a decorative archway. The front reception room is spacious and bathed in natural light from its Bath stone bay window. A second reception room at the rear presents versatile options for use as a family area or study, catering to modern living needs. Beyond these spaces lies a breakfast or dining area adjacent to an L-shaped kitchen and ground floor bathroom, with direct access to the rear garden. This layout invites reconfiguration possibilities and potential for extension (subject to relevant planning consents), mirroring renovations seen in neighboring homes. The first floor features a split-level landing that leads to three generously sized double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom that spans the front width of the property. The rear garden is largely paved with an existing workshop at one end and access via a pathway to Aylestone Road. While this property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, it represents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to tailor their future home in this sought-after residential locale. With amenities nearby including pubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, cafes, and local shops, plus proximity to highly regarded schools and efficient transport links to London King's Cross in under 50 minutes, this home combines convenience with lifestyle appeal.
