Description
Modernised 1930s house with outstanding private gardens on one of the most sought after roads in Cambridge
47 Barrow Road is a 1930s Arts & Crafts house that has been sympathetically restored and extended including, but not limited to, a re-wiring and re-plumbing in 2011 and 2015, by the current owners. The current owners further enhanced their home, which can be seen in greater detail on the attached floorplan, with high quality Velfac windows (including the glazed doors) throughout. The property, which sits well in a delightful wide plot measuring approximately 0.56 acres, is in a popular south of City road and constructed of brick elevations beneath a clay tiled roof.
The house is entered through a green panelled front door which opens into a wide hallway with hardwood floors which flow through most of the ground floor. Ahead, the family room leads into an exceptional reception room with vaulted ceilings and glazed doors and windows looking out on to the garden. There is a well-appointed study to one side and to the left of the hall is a good size utility room that opens into the garage. To the right an exceptional kitchen/breakfast/dining room (running from the front to the back of the house) with Corian tops (including a breakfast bar), modern shaker style floor and wall mounted units, a Wolf gas hob, Miele oven, freestanding American style fridge, and Siemens dishwasher. The triple aspect room has ample space for a large table and chairs and a further seating area around a gas fireplace. A WC completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there are five good size double bedrooms with three bathrooms. The main bedroom has views over the rear garden and woodland copse beyond, a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with a walk in shower and Hans Grohe fittings.
Outside the property is approached from a wide gravelled driveway that leads to the front door and garage with an electronic roller door. There is access to the garden on the right hand side. To the rear of the property the garden has two well-proportioned studio rooms which could be used as home office/gym or under their current guise of art studio and workshop. A large terrace surrounds the rear and side of the house and leads out to a large lawn interspersed with numerous mature trees and shrubs and, uniquely, has Vicar's brook flowing through the rear of the garden.
