## Description

This charming 3 bedroom period property, tucked away in a peaceful street between Histon and Huntingdon Road, offers the perfect opportunity to live in one of the most sought after city locations.

- Cambridge City Centre – approx.1 mile

- Cambridge Science Park – approx. 2.5 miles

• Central Cambridge location

• 3 Double bedrooms

• Mature garden

• Local amenities close by

• EPC rating C

The property entrance hallway leads you through to a generous living area, with dual aspect sash windows allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space. The large open plan kitchen diner is compiled of a Britannia range cooker, built in microwave, integrated dishwasher and plenty of cupboard space with architect designed skylights adding a unique feel to the room. There is also a downstairs low level W/C with wash basin and shower.

The first floor consists of two double bedrooms, a vintage style family bathroom fitted with low level W/C, free standing bath tub, wash basin and shower. Looking over the cleverly designed living/green roof, home to a plethora of plants and flowers. The property retains it's character throughout, with many of the original features still in place.

A stylish spiral staircase takes you to the second floor of the property, where you will find yourself in the principal bedroom. The loft conversion, fitted with floor to ceiling windows, provides spectacular views over the mature garden.

The mature garden is accessible via bifolding doors, a feeling of privacy provided by the surrounding trees. At the bottom of the garden you will find a studio/summer house, ideal for a home office, gym or a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the garden.

Canterbury Street forms part of a highly regarded, established residential area off Huntingdon Road, less than a mile north of Cambridge City Centre and a mere two minute walk from the lovely Histon Road recreational ground. It is well placed for access to many university colleges and departments, prestigious schools and the city centre in general. There is a regular bus service along Huntingdon Road into the City Centre and a cycle lane. There are also excellent local facilities serving the district including a parade of shops on Histon Road catering for most day-to-day needs. The location should prove convenient for anyone needing access to the Science or Business parks off Milton Road and the region’s main commuter routes (A14/M11/A1).
