Cambridge City Centre 1 mile, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) 1 mile, M11 (junction 12) 2.5 miles, Stansted Airport 27 miles, (distances are approximate).
Chaucer Road and neighbouring Latham Road, are widely regarded as the best residential roads in the city and are characterised by impressive large houses set in extensive gardens. Chaucer Road is named after the poet and is in the Southacre Conservation Area, established in 1999 covering Southacre Drive, Chaucer Road and Latham Road. This was greatly assisted by the definitive guide to the area “Rus in Urbe”, published privately by SOLACHRA, the Residents Association, which traces the history of the houses and their owners in this unique corner of central Cambridge.
11 Chaucer Road provides an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent 5 bedroom period house in an outstanding and highly sought after location. Built in around 1904, the accommodation is typical of the Edwardian era with elegant, well-proportioned rooms benefitting from high ceilings and flooded with light from deep glazed windows.
Chaucer Road is conveniently situated just 1 mile from the heart of the city centre, yet enjoys a unique rural feel with its close proximity to Coe Fen and Grantchester Meadows. Newnham village is less than half a mile by a nearby footpath/cycleway and offers an excellent range of facilities including a post office/delicatessen, chemist, bakers/cafe, butchers and small supermarket. Some of the most highly regarded schools in the city, such as St Faith's, The Stephen Perse Foundation, The Perse, The Leys and St Mary's are within easy walking or cycling distance of the property and there are also nursery schools in Chaucer Road itself. The wonderful University Botanic Garden is just a few hundred yards away on the eastern side of Trumpington Road.
Cambridge is a world renowned University city which offers an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes and colleges, together with extensive shopping and cultural facilities. It also has become recognised as an important centre for the 'high tech' and 'bio tech' industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories, Science Park, ARM, Microsoft, AstraZeneca and Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus, which is planned to be one of the largest centres of health, science and medical research in the world. London commuters are well served with a mainline railway station about 1 miles to the east providing services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in approximately 52 and 67 minutes respectively and the M11 (junction 12) is about 2.5 miles away, providing access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
