• Description

  A magnificent Edwardian house occupying a wonderful, secluded setting in just under an acre of stunning gardens and grounds, in one of the city's most highly regarded roads. Cambridge City Centre 1 mile, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) 1 mile, M11 (junction 12) 2.5 miles, Stansted Airport 27 miles, (distances are approximate). Chaucer Road and neighbouring Latham Road, are widely regarded as the best residential roads in the city and are characterised by impressive large houses set in extensive gardens. Chaucer Road is named after the poet and is in the Southacre Conservation Area, established in 1999 covering Southacre Drive, Chaucer Road and Latham Road. This was greatly assisted by the definitive guide to the area “Rus in Urbe”, published privately by SOLACHRA, the Residents Association, which traces the history of the houses and their owners in this unique corner of central Cambridge. 11 Chaucer Road provides an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent 5 bedroom period house in an outstanding and highly sought after location. Built in around 1904, the accommodation is typical of the Edwardian era with elegant, well-proportioned rooms benefitting from high ceilings and flooded with light from deep glazed windows.
