More recently the current owners have sympathetically extended and renovated the property under the direction of NRAP, a leading Cambridge practice to ensure the retention of many of the original period features including panelling, window seats and cornicing. Merging seamlessly with the original building, the new extension incorporates a large family kitchen/breakfast room with handmade units by Chalon of London, a splendid conservatory built by Vale Garden Houses leading through to the spa/gym with bespoke glass shower and sauna enclosures and an Italian spa designed by Tecu with Luna stone tiling. A new luxurious
principal bedroom occupies the entirety of the first floor of the extension and completes this work.
The house stands extremely well in established gardens and grounds and in the acreage is fully screened from the road by a hedge and a variety of shrubs and mature trees. Access is via a gravel in and out driveway which leads to an ample off-street parking space and double car port.
The wonderful rear gardens extend predominately to the south with a large expanse of lawn running the entire length of the original house flanked on one side by a mature topiary hedge. Adjacent to the recent extension is a charming Italian style garden with a feature pond and extensive terrace paved with reclaimed York stone paving. This glorious garden is screened to all boundaries by fine mature specimen trees and shrubs, providing a high level of privacy and seclusion.
Adams Road is widely regarded as one of the best addresses in the city and is characterised by substantial houses in large
gardens. Situated less than a mile west of the heart of the historic centre, the property occupies an idyllic position close to many of the College and University Departments and their playing fields, including St John's College School and King's College School which are just a short walk away in neighbouring Grange Road and West Road respectively.
Cambridge also offers a wide range of educational and cultural amenities and is not only world renowned for its academic achievements, but also has become an important centre for the 'high tech' and 'bio tech' industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories and the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park. Addenbrooke's Hospital and the new Cambridge Biomedical Campus, planned to be one of the largest centres of health, science and medical research in the world, is within about 1.5 miles to the east. London commuters are well served with a mainline railway station about 2 miles away providing services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in about 52 and 67 minutes respectively and the M11 (junction 11) is about 2.5 miles away providing access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
