224 Hills Road is conveniently located in the popular south area of the thriving city of Cambridge. Ideally positioned for easy access to the railway station and Addenbrooke's Hospital. To the rear of the property there is an entrance to the highly-acclaimed Perse School and it is also within easy cycling distance of other popular private and state primary and secondary education. The property has been within the same family ownership for more than 50 years and has been well maintained during their tenure. The accommodation is incredibly spacious throughout, with high ceilings, a wealth of period features, including fireplaces, panel doors, impressive cornicing and an ornate moulded archway above the entrance hall.

This striking family home is set well back from the road behind mature hedge screening upon a particularly large plot with a substantial driveway which provides parking for several vehicles.

From the entrance porch, a grand hallway provides access to all the principal ground floor accommodation. The large lounge is a fantastic space with a dual aspect, which includes an impressive full height square bay and a large sash window to the side providing an abundance of natural light. Accessed via an internal lobby, the formal dining room also benefits from a dual aspect with a full height bay window and partially glazed French doors which provide access to the rear paved terrace. This room is particularly versatile and includes a thoughtfully constructed pull-down double bed, which is concealed by cupboard doors. Off the inner lobby, there is a recently refurbished shower room and a range of built-in storage space and could therefore be used as an accessible guest bedroom.

A generous kitchen and large breakfast room are situated to the rear of the ground floor and ideally configured for both entertaining and day-to-day family living. A side door from the kitchen provides access to the driveway and rear garden.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, a separate cloakroom and a bathroom which has recently been re-fitted. Three of these bedrooms are particularly generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from dual aspects. The rear bedroom commands views over the mature rear gardens and the remaining two double bedrooms each benefit from impressive square bay-windows and a dual aspect which provides a plentiful supply of natural light. The fourth would serve well as a single bedroom, study or nursery.

The second floor comprises two spacious double rooms, each with full height dormers and built-in storage. The larger of the two also provides built-in wardrobe storage with hanging space and shelving. These two bedrooms are served by a shower room with W.C and wash basin which is also accessed from the second floor landing.

Outside, the property offers ample driveway parking to the front with the added benefit of rear vehicular access from Luard Road which leads to a brick-built detached garage. The stunning gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, however, are incredibly well stocked with an abundance of mature shrubs and a number of mature fruit trees to include apple, pear and figs, with a spacious paved terrace which wraps around the property and a large shed, external w.c. and sink.
