Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2

95 Hills Road is a handsome period townhouse that offers almost 2,000 of versatile accommodation, seamlessly blending modern amenities with character features including fireplaces and sash windows.

A porch opens to the charming entrance hall with its in-keeping Victorian tiled flooring and column radiator, with stairways to the first and lower ground floors. From here are two adjacent reception rooms with fine exposed wood floors and built-in alcove storage, a large front-facing sitting room with a pretty cast-iron feature fireplace and bay and sash window with leafy views and a cosy drawing room overlooking the garden. Further is the sleek, light-filled fully Crittall glazed office with herringbone wood flooring, which provides the ideal space for the home worker with double doors opening directly to the garden.

The lower ground floor houses a utility with WC and an expansive open-plan converted kitchen/breakfast room with sleek concrete poured flooring. The sociable space mirrors the design of the study, with Crittall glazed doors opening to the lower terrace and features a wide array of navy shaker-style cabinetry and work surfaces, with a variety of appliances including dual butler sinks and a large range stove.

The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, with two bright rooms on the second floor served by a modern shower room and two characterful bedrooms and a family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub on the first floor. The principal bedroom also benefits from a large fitted wardrobe and an en suite shower room.

The property resides in a convenient and highly sought-after location within Cambridge city centre and half a mile from the mainline railway station, with its links to London in well under an hour. On offer is a vast selection of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, leisure and cultural facilities, galleries, museums, coffee shops, bars and eateries, along with the picturesque Botanic Gardens. The A11, M11 and A14 offer excellent road links. The area offers a good selection of independent schools including Stephen Perse Foundation, St. Mary's, Mander Portman Woodward, Heritage, Sancton Wood, St. Andrew's College and The Leys.

The property is set back from the road, approached via a brick-laid pathway to the main entrance, with a cast iron staircase to the lower ground level and low-maintenance paving. Accessed via the lower ground level is a lower paved private terrace, with stairs to the main rear garden. Beside the home is another paved patio followed by a neat AstroTurf lawn enclosed via contemporary slatted fencing and timber planter borders. Steps rise to a sunny rear additional terrace ideal for al fresco dining.
