22 Cavendish Avenue is an impressive Victorian semi-detached property with elegant and substantial accommodation and a handsome facade. Constructed with attractive red-brick elevations under slate roofs, the property is typical of the period, with well-proportioned accommodation, high ceilings, large sash-style windows and a number of attractive architectural details, all of which combine to create a bright and airy feel throughout. The property has been recently updated with re-fitted kitchen and bathrooms but also provides a unique opportunity for further updating or re-configuration, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is set back from the road behind a mature hedge and variety of attractive shrubs. A block paved driveway leads to the brick built Garage 17'7 x 9'5 (5.37m x 2.88m) with up and over door, power, light and pedestrian door to side courtyard garden. The rear of the Garage has been converted into a Utility Room with window and door. A further gravelled area at the front of the property provides additional off-street parking and is bordered with attractive shrubs. Gated pedestrian side access leads to the rear.

The substantial south-facing rear garden is a particularly fine feature of the property and is enclosed by timber fencing and mature hedging. Mainly laid to lawn, it is bordered by a variety of established flower and shrub beds, which provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion. At the rear of the garden, there is a garden shed with an adjacent small area, divided from the main with large shrubs. Two areas of paved terrace adjoin the rear elevation of the house, accessed independently from the kitchen/breakfast room and from the family/dining room, providing ideal areas for relaxation and entertaining.

The area provides excellent access to the historic city centre, Cambridge Railway Station, Addenbrooke's Hospital and the internationally acclaimed Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

Nearby amenities include a variety of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and leisure facilities, together with Hills Road Sports & Tennis Centre and Cambridge Leisure Park. The property is also exceptionally well placed for a number of the city's leading state and independent schools, including The Perse, St Faith's and Hills Road Sixth Form College.
