Price:

£1,600,000

Location:

Teversham, Cambs

Description:

Set on a quiet road in central Cambridge lined with pretty 18th and 19th-century houses, this former shop-front home abounds with charm. The current owner has reworked the space to create an airy home laid out over 1,600 sq ft. Just across the garden is the guesthouse (once the stables for the grocer's yard), where the ground floor has been carefully architecturally planned for accessibility. Setting the Scene Mawson Road is a quiet, one-way street in the centre of Cambridge with little traffic other than local residents. Partially spurred by the arrival of the railways, the city's railway station was opened (with some initial resistance) in 1845. Built toward the latter half of the 19th century, during a period of rapid growth for Cambridge, the house was originally a grocer’s shop; its large period windows from this time are still intact. For more information, please see the History section. The Grand Tour Entry to the house is through a pretty period door painted in 'Claydon Blue' by Farrow and Ball. The door opens to a foyer, which then flows onto a large, open-plan kitchen lit by original sash windows. Inspired joinery has cleverly reimagined the former shop door as a useful corner cabinet. A large counterspace extends around a double basin sink perfect for the avid chef to prepare delectable creations. With plenty of room for a large dining table, the pervading mood of the room is cosy and peaceful. A utility area continues from here, with a triumph of cabinetry concealing washing machines and other modern appliances. A hall lit from above by skylights leads onto the pretty sitting room, with views of the garden from large French double-glazed doors. While the space can be opened out to the garden in warmer weather, in cooler months a Jotul wood burner ensures the space is a cosy spot to hunker down on the sofa with a good book. In this space, the refined tones of 'Stiffkey Blue' by Farrow and Ball provide depth. Ascending to the. Still available at ListedBuy!
