Description:

94 King Street is a handsome, period semi-detached home, dating back to the late 1800s, which has been given a Grade II listing in recognition of its architectural and historic importance. It was originally part of a group of alms houses and was later converted by a local architect.

The property’s accommodation is laid out over two floors with the living space on the first floor and the bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor. The first floor is largely open plan with airy, vaulted reception areas comprising sitting and dining areas with exposed beams and a fireplace along with fully fitted kitchen with pleasant views to the rear. There is also a separate reception room/bedroom 4. On the ground floor there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom. For those looking for a unique city home of real charm and character, it would be difficult to find anything comparable. The location and appeal of the historic, quintessential Cambridge property has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Outside:

The property benefits from a south-facing decked terrace, which can be accessed from the kitchen/diner and leads down to the courtyard of the neighbouring property over which there is a pedestrian right of way to Pike Walk, a narrow street which gives access through to the lovely, established leafy open space known as Christs’ Pieces. There is also a door from the ground floor opening to a sheltered and covered space under the property’s balcony for bins, bicycles etc.

Location:

King Street lies within a conservation area, adjacent to the open green space of Christs’ Pieces just a short walk from the historic city centre, Midsummer Common and the River Cam. It is within easy reach of the many shopping and cultural opportunities in the city along with University departments and varied restaurants, cafes and public houses. The city’s mainline railway station, with regular services to London and Ely is within about a mile, and the bus station is just a few minutes’ walk away.
