5 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Montague Road, Cambridge, CB4

An outstanding and beautifully presented four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian house, offering well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. It is located in a highly sought-after area off De Freville Avenue, close to the river and Midsummer Common. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting/dining room, and a superbly fitted kitchen/breakfast room with bi-folding doors opening to the garden. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, a refitted family bathroom, and an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom on the top floor. The property boasts a range of attractive period features, gas central heating, underfloor heating with dual controls, and a beautifully maintained rear garden.

The house offers extended family living accommodation over three floors. The entrance hall includes a front door with a leaded light fanlight above, plaster mouldings, understairs storage, and a cloakroom with a modern white suite. The double-length sitting room extends approximately 24'9", featuring a sash bay window with shutters to the front, a working fireplace that can use smokeless fuel or logs (last swept in October 2023), and a bespoke range of fitted storage and shelving, with an additional sash window to the rear.

The kitchen/breakfast room is superbly designed with a wide range of fitted wall and base units, including a wall of storage cupboards. It features extensive granite worktops and upstands, as well as integrated appliances such as a Bosch dishwasher, a washing machine, a wine fridge, a fridge freezer, two single ovens, and an induction hob. There are three sash windows to the side, leading into the dining area with triple-glazed bi-folding doors to the rear garden. The vaulted ceiling has inset Velux windows, and the full-height storage unit on one wall conceals the regularly serviced Worcester boiler, installed in 2012. The underfloor heating in this space has dual controls: one near the long worktop and the other by the bi-fold doors. A door provides access to a small side courtyard, ideal for bicycles and dustbins.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to three double bedrooms, a study, and a stylish refitted bathroom. The bathroom features a modern white suite, extensive subway-style tiling, and a cupboard housing a pressurised water tank with room for towel storage above. There is a towel rail connected to the central heating system, along with electric underfloor heating, which is controlled by a panel. The bathroom also includes a sensor-enabled light-up mirror. The second floor is dedicated to the main bedroom, featuring a rear window and eaves storage. The en-suite shower room is beautifully appointed, with a Velux window to the front.

A particular highlight of the property is the attractive rear garden. It includes a paved patio area, steps leading down to a lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds, mature trees, and a timber shed. Additional outdoor features include a sensor light by the back door, outside lighting near the bi-fold doors, a tap, and a log store. The front of the property features a small walled garden with a quarry-tiled pathway leading to the front door.

The property is located on the highly sought-after De Freville Estate, just north of the River Cam.
