A near central refurbished Victorian townhouse close to Alexandra Gardens.


Description

59 Searle Street is an inner terrace property of sandblasted Cambridge brick elevations with mostly double glazed sash windows beneath a slate roof an extends to 813 sq ft. A few years ago the property was subject to a major refurbishment program to include repointing, new services, new sanitary ware and kitchen etc which also included the creation of a loft room within the attic.

The property, which is beautifully presented throughout is accessed via a painted hardwood entrance door into the sitting room which has a cast iron wood-burning stove and recessed shelving. The dining room beyond is now open plan with the kitchen/breakfast room which in turn has been fitted with an extensive range of cream cabinetry and some integrated appliances including fridge/freezer, stainless oven and electric hob. There are wood block working surfaces and a deep ceramic sink. The kitchen has been extended to the side and is vaulted with a Velux skylight so as to attract a great deal of light along with tall glazed double doors. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. There is plenty of clever bespoke storage throughout the house to make the most of the space.

At first floor there are two bedrooms including the main bedroom which extends the full width of the property and has two sash windows and bespoke recessed drawer cabinetry and a fully fitted wardrobe. The second bedroom, a single could accommodate a child or be used as a home office for those working from home. The family bathroom has been fitted in the period style and comprises twin basins, both of which have mirrors over and an extensive range of fitted cabinetry and a tiled floor along with plantation shutter. All bathrooms benefit from underfloor and mirror heating.

The loft room is accessed via an electric pulley system which the sellers have dressed and have been using as an occasional guest bedroom.

The rear garden is fully enclosed with walling to one side and a painted panelled fence to the right. There is an Indian sandstone paved pathway leading to the rear and the majority of the garden is laid with an artificial lawn for convenience. To the rear is a painted timber store, ideal for bikes and garden equipment with a gate to a shared rear pedestrian access via St Lukes Street and can also be used as a small office space as it is equipped with heating and electric.
