Description

Nestled at the river end of Kimberley Road within the esteemed De Freville conservation area of West Chesterton, this three-bedroom Edwardian terraced home presents a promising canvas for renovation. With its proximity to the picturesque River Cam and Midsummer Common, accessible via the Fort St George footbridge, the location is both charming and convenient. The front garden features a quaint low brick wall and a quarry-tiled pathway leading to an inviting entrance that showcases original cornicing and decorative plaster details. Inside, the spacious front reception enjoys ample natural light from a Bath stone bay window. A secondary reception room at the rear offers versatility as a family space, dining area, or study. Beyond this is a breakfast nook adjoining an L-shaped kitchen and ground floor bathroom, leading directly to the rear garden—ideal for reconfiguration or expansion with appropriate permissions, mirroring enhancements seen in neighboring properties. The upper level introduces a split landing that accesses three double bedrooms; the principal room boasts generous dimensions at the front, while two additional well-sized bedrooms complete the floor. The rear garden is mostly paved for easy maintenance and includes a workshop at its furthest point along with access to a pathway connecting to Aylestone Road. While modernisation is necessary throughout, this property stands as an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke home in one of Cambridge's most tranquil yet vibrant districts. The property is conveniently located less than one mile from the city centre and surrounded by local amenities such as renowned pubs, restaurants—including Michelin-starred options—and highly acclaimed schools like Milton Road Primary School and Chesterton Community College. Commuters will appreciate easy access to London King's Cross station with journeys taking under 50 minutes.
