Stunning substantial home on popular road in the city.

Description

Built in 1997 by the well renowned builder Berkeley Homes, 18 Madingley Road is situated in a prime Cambridge position close to the city centre and many well regarded schools.

Set back behind a mature tree line and accessed off a small spur road, the property is approached across a block paved driveway with parking for several cars. The house is entered under a stone portico porch which leads into the main hall through a set of wooden double doors. The hall, with engineered wooden floors, communicates with all of the principal rooms on the ground floor.

To the left is a large kitchen with a Mark Wilkinson shaker style kitchen and a mix of stone and wooden working surfaces. There is a fitted Miele dishwasher, a Rangemaster cooker with extractor hood over and space for a large American fridge. Adjoining the kitchen is a well-appointed pantry with access to the side garden and to the front of the house is also a dining room.

To the right of the hall is a large study overlooking the front of the house and behind a dual aspect reception room with access to the garden through French doors leading out on to a small terrace. Between the kitchen and drawing room is a snug with access through double doors to an Amdega garden room.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom, and a Jack and Jilll bathroom between two further double bedrooms. On the second floor there is an exceptional principal bedroom which takes up the whole floor. The room has a en suite bathroom with separate shower.

Outside there is a triple garage with a flat above which, in our opinion, would make an exceptional additional space for family, friends or potentially staff. To the rear there is a mature garden with a number of ornamental trees and shrubs, there is an area laid to lawn, a large seating area and pergola with ornamental bamboo. To the side of the house there is a good size lawn with raised beds and espaliered fruits trees.
