Description
Driftway is an exceptionally well-located and secluded family home which sits within mature grounds of circa 0.5 acre. The property was built in 1954 and offers incredibly well-proportioned and versatile accommodation throughout. The orientation is perfect, with a southerly aspect taking full advantage of the sun and stunning vistas of the garden. Each room offers its own unique outlook, with large windows providing a plentiful supply of natural light.

Set well back from the road and accessed via a private driveway, over which only one other property has right of way, the property feels worlds away from the nearby bustling city centre. A spacious entrance hall provides plenty of space for coats and boots and leads into the main entrance hall which provides access to all principal ground floor rooms and the stairs, leading to the first floor.

The dual aspect kitchen is well-appointed with a range of cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a large Mercury range cooker with 5 ring gas hob, double oven and grill. The family dining room is situated centrally, adjacent to the kitchen, and provides a fantastic space for entertaining and everyday family living. French doors and a dual aspect, provide plenty of natural light as well as views and access to the stunning mature grounds.

Beyond this room, there is beautifully proportioned drawing room, which again benefits from a dual aspect, with French doors to the rear, and is fitted with a Jetmaster open fireplace. Further ground floor accommodation includes a large study, shower room and W.C. And a very useful utility and boot room.

A bespoke oak staircase provides access to the first-floor landing, which in turn, provides access to five bedrooms and the family bathroom. Four of the bedrooms are comfortable double rooms, with the fifth serving well as a single / additional study. The principal suite is of grand proportions and is equipped with two built in double wardrobes and a modern ensuite shower room. A large picture window to the rear of the bedroom provides stunning garden vistas and an abundance of natural light.

Outside
Driftway sits in a particularly secluded spot within mature grounds extending to circa 0.5 acre. The orientation of the property has been carefully considered to make the most of a sunny southerly aspect. The gardens have been beautifully landscaped during the present tenure and are beautifully stocked with a wealth of mature shrubs, trees, and an abundance of perennials.

Location
Glebe Road is situated just off Hills Road in a highly sought after convenient south city location. There are a wide range of local amenities nearby including restaurants, multiplex cinema, the Cambridge Junction music/theatre venue with Addenbrooke’s Hospital also nearby.
