This well presented period home on Eden Street offers a rare combination of character, high quality finishes and an excellent central Cambridge location. The property has been thoughtfully updated, providing practical and comfortable living spaces with a strong sense of style throughout.

A light and welcoming sitting room sits at the front of the house, centred around a working fireplace with a large window to the front.
