3 bed terraced house for sale

Manhattan Drive, Cambridge CB4

A fantastically located three-bedroom family home on Manhattan Drive, in the highly sought-after De Freville area of Cambridge, just moments from the River Cam and Midsummer Common. This light and spacious 1960s house is sold with no onward chain.

The entrance hall leads on to the stairs and through an obscured glazed door to the wonderfully bright and airy open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. The living and dining space has original parquet wooden floors and a feature fireplace that makes a charming focal point, as well as a handy understairs storage cupboard. The contemporary kitchen is finished in modern gloss white with stone-effect worktops and is laid out as a galley, with one side formed by a peninsula that opens onto the dining space. There is an abundance of worktop space and plenty of storage. The peninsula houses the sink and dishwasher, as well as space for a washing machine. There's an induction hob, built-in oven and a built-in full-height fridge-freezer. Open to the dining area, the kitchen keeps whoever is cooking part of the conversation, making this a sociable, easy layout for everyday family life and entertaining.

The living space leads straight out to a private west-facing garden via sliding doors from the dining area, and a separate door from the kitchen. A raised patio is ideal for outdoor dining, with a lawn beyond and gated rear access.

Upstairs, the sunny principal bedroom spans the full width of the house, and there are two further good-sized bedrooms. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, a WC and a basin. The property is fully double-glazed with PVC windows.

This home is enviably located just north of the River Cam and Midsummer Common, less than a mile from Cambridge’s bustling city centre, yet set within a quiet and peaceful residential area.

There are plenty of amenities close by, including the ever-popular Stir café; The Old Spring, Fort St George and The Tivoli pubs; and local shops. The catchment schools are Milton Road Primary School and Chesterton Community College, which was last rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted. For those commuting to London King’s Cross from Cambridge station, the journey can take under 50 minutes.
