A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive Grade II listed 1960s home, ideally positioned in one of the area's most sought-after and desirable residential setting.

City Centre 1 mile, M11 (junction 12) 1.25 miles, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) 1.5 miles, (distances are approximate).

2a Grantchester Road is an architecturally designed, semi-detached Grade II listed property dating from the 1960s. Constructed with concrete block and a flat asphalt roof, the house offers a distinctive architectural style and a rare opportunity for sympathetic restoration. While the property would benefit from a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and potential extension, subject to the usual consents, it presents an exciting chance to create a bespoke home in a highly desirable location.

Grantchester Road lies within the Newnham area, which is widely regarded as one of the best residential locations in the city. Local facilities include a post office, chemist, bakers, butchers, grocers, small supermarket and a primary school. Lammas Land Recreation Ground, with a large children's play area, tennis court and paddling pool, is within about half a mile.

The historic city centre is about 1 mile away and can be reached by a very pleasant walk over Lammas Land and Coe Fen. The city provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes, the tree lined River Cam and an extensive range of shopping facilities. The property is also extremely well placed for many of the Colleges, University Departments, 'The Backs' and delightful walks along the river to the nearby village of Grantchester. An excellent range of schools for all ages are within half or three-quarters of a mile including St. John's, King's, The Ley's, The Stephen Perse Foundation and St. Mary's.
