A handsome, 1930's, bay fronted, detached family home, with accommodation arranged over three levels. The property has four double bedrooms and is set in a generous plot with a southerly facing garden and off road parking.
84 London Road has been thoughtfully extended to the rear to provide a large kitchen/dining room and into the loft space to provide additional bedrooms. At the same time, the owner has been careful to retain as much of the original character of the house as possible, with picture rails and pretty panelled doors still in the older parts of the building.
The property is set back from the road behind a gravelled driveway that provides parking and there is high hedging that adds natural screening and privacy. There is a lovely traditional front door set beneath a canopy that gives protection from the elements as you go in and the hallway is welcoming, with a window to the side and the staircase leading up to the first floor, with a cloakroom tucked neatly under.
The sitting room to the front is an attractive bay-fronted room with an arched, brick fireplace and original picture rails. To the rear, is a large open plan room with a formal dining area opening to the kitchen/breakfast room that extends across the rear of the house. There is a window overlooking the garden, double doors to the conservatory, and roof lights that together flood the room with natural light. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of cabinets set above and below the working surfaces and there is a built in oven and hob with extractor over and space for a dishwasher. The adjacent dining area has plenty of space for a table and chairs and double doors lead to the conservatory, which extends into the garden and has lovely views. The ground floor also has a utility room with a door out to the garden and space for further appliances.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom is currently used as a study and has a bay window to the front. The rear bedroom is a generous double with views over the garden, picture rails, and a built in airing cupboard. On this level, there is also a dressing room, with wardrobes that extend along one wall and a family bathroom fitted with a bath, w.c., hand basin, and bidet.
On the second floor, there are two further double rooms, with bedroom three having a roof light and storage in the eaves and bedroom four having views over the garden. There is a shower room fitted with a shower, w.c. And handbasin, and a large storage cupboard that extends into the eaves can be accessed off the hallway.
Outside the garden enjoys a southerly aspect and is laid to lawn with trees and a variety of shrubs and flowers that provide a splash of colour. There is a patio adjacent to the house, a nature pond, and two sheds. The garden enjoys a high degree of privacy.
Stapleford is a thriving village about 2 miles south of the city and is especially desirable to those looking for easy access into Cambridge from a traditional and attractive village.
It has an Ofsted 'Good' primary school that feeds Sawston Village College (2 miles), two great pubs, a small supermarket, petrol filling station, hairdresser, beauty salon and barber. Further facilities including a gp surgery and dentist can be found in neighbouring Great Shelford. The Gog Magog Hills, trust land, golf club and Wandlebury Country Park are at the northern edge of the village.
For the commuter, there is easy access to the dna cycleway, which in turn gives access to the Addenbrooke's site (2.5 miles) as well as the city beyond. Great Shelford railway station is close by and offers services to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street.
