Full planning for 6 beds, 4 bathrooms mid-terrace house with 2,015 sq ft in central Cambridge, stunning location

Description

A superb opportunity to buy a property with planning permission close to Midsummer Common.

29 Maids Causeway is a Grade II listed mid terrace property constructed during the early 19th century of brick elevations with mainly sash windows beneath a slate tiled roof. The property which extends to approximately 2,015 sq ft and has accommodation laid out over four floors can be seen in greater detail in the attached floorplan.

The property has the benefit planning permission granted for the demolition of existing rear extension and the erection of a single storey extension ref 23/00260/LBC which was granted on 3rd April 2023.

Currently the house is set back from Maids Causeway behind a shingle driveway for two cars and permission has been granted to “drop” the curb thereby permitting easy off-street parking.

The ground floor is entered through a panelled front door with a fan light over into a wide hallway. To the front is the drawing room which has a fireplace with marble surround, built-in glazed bookshelves on either side and a large floor to ceiling window overlooking the front garden. This room has been used in the past as a fourth bedroom. To the rear is a further reception room currently arranged as a dining room which has a similar fireplace surround and cupboards. Down the stairs there is a sitting room to the front and kitchen breakfast room at the rear with a half landing bathroom and utility area.

There are three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC on the upper two floors. The top floor rooms have wide dormers which could be reconfigured to create a further bedroom and a bathroom.

To the rear the walled garden is fully enclosed.

The property is available with vacant possession and no onward chain.
