A fine, semi detached, Edwardian property extending to 2,062 sq ft (191 sq m), in this highly regarded location, within close proximity of Cambridge mainline station and a number of state and independent schools.

City Centre about 0.75 of a mile, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) about 0.2 of a mile, (distances are approximate).

Dating from the early 1900s, 2 Tenison Avenue is a substantial, bay fronted Edwardian property constructed with brick elevations under a slate roof. Typical of the period, the accommodation comprises well proportioned rooms with high ceilings and retains many of its fine original features. Although the property has been well maintained throughout, it would benefit from some updating and offers prospective purchasers plenty of scope to create a wonderful family home finished to their own particular taste and standard.


Tenison Avenue is widely recognised as one of the most highly regarded residential areas of the city. A wider than average road, with predominately three-storey Edwardian townhouses, number 2 lies about 0.2 of a mile from the new, vibrant, regenerated station complex, which includes recreational space, secluded landscaped areas, together with a cosmopolitan mix of shops, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. There is a post office and 2 mini supermarkets in nearby Hills Road and a wealth of independent shops and international restaurants in popular Mill Road. The tranquil University Botanic Garden is also close by as well as a number of excellent state and independent schools. These include St Pauls, St Alban's, St Matthew's, The Stephen Perse (pre-prep to sixth form), St Mary's, The Leys, The Perse and St Faith's. Parkside Academy and Hills Road Sixth Form Colleges are both about half a mile away.

The city centre is within easy walking or cycling distance and provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes, colleges and extensive shopping facilities.

Cambridge is not only world renowned for its academic achievements but also has become a 'high tech' and 'bio tech' hub with the University Research and Development Laboratories, Cambridge Science Park and Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus. The city also provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes, colleges and extensive shopping facilities.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
