The property is distinguished by its high ceilings, warm wood tones and original handcrafted features. High bay windows bring an abundance of natural light and scale. The property is arranged over four floors with stripped wood flooring and original oak staircases running throughout. An attractive south facing courtyard garden is surrounded by mature trees, with a garage providing off street parking. The property’s distinctive height brings rooftop views across Cambridge.

The property is entered on St Eligius Street via a set of stone steps leading to a panelled and stained glass inlay front door. The property opens up into a bright hallway with high ceilings and wood floors.
