Description:

Since purchasing this period home seven years ago, the current owner has carried out a sympathetic programme of updating and remodelling to create a very appealing and bright city home. The house is a wonderful blend of open plan living space, modern fittings and lovely period features. On the ground floor is an open plan sitting room and dining room, both with fireplaces leading to the sun-filled kitchen with integrated appliances, Purbeck limestone flooring and triple-glazed roof, taking full advantage of the southerly aspect. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a very large bathroom with roll-top bath, feature fireplace and Hamman-style shower.

Windows are all double-glazed with the roof, electrics and gas system all recently inspected.

This charming property is ideal for professionals or a small family looking to enjoy all that central Cambridge has to offer. Converting the loft space into a principal suite would add significant value and should be straight forward with planning precedent evident in neighbouring properties.

Outside:

The property front boasts a stunning climbing wisteria, jasmine and rose with original Victorian tiling and space for bikes. The mature, south-facing rear garden have seen extensive professional landscaping with significant investment made in native shrubs and year-round colour. Ther Indian-stone patio is perfect for al-fresco dining with a path leading to the garden studio which is fully insulated and connected to high-speed WIFI. A pedestrian gate at the end of the garden leads to a rear passage for bins etc. The side return houses a timber lean-to for storage of lawnmower etc plus additional mature planting for a foliage view from the living room.

Location:

The house sits on the broader, bay-fronted section of Sedgwick Street which is a quiet road with little through-traffic and yet enjoying a unique community spirit with regular street events throughout the year. The hugely popular Romsey neighbourhood is situated just off Mill Road which is famous for its independent shops, multicultural restaurants, trendy cafes and green spaces. The city centre is just a short walk away as well as Midsummer Common, the River Cam and the railway station with direct services to London in 50 minutes. It is also very well located for Addenbrookes Hospital with a number 2 bus going direct from the end of the street.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When you see a property you are interested in on our website, call us 24/7 to arrange a viewing. Or if you prefer, get in touch via our website and we will call you back to find a time to view the property that suits you.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. A bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.

Or if you’re considering letting your property, we can take the stress out of managing your rental, and our award winning lettings team offer a service that can be tailored to your needs.
