SITUATION
Situated about 1 mile south of the City Centre, the Old Mill House lies in one of the best residential areas of Cambridge. It is within easy walking or cycling distance of some of the most highly regarded schools in the City such as St Faith's, The Perse and The Leas (all in Trumpington Road) and St Mary's and St Catherine's in Bateman Street. There are also nursery schools in nearby Chaucer Road. The wonderful University Botanic Gardens are just a few hundred yards further into the City, on the eastern side of Trumpington Road. London commuters are well served with a mainline railway station about 1 mile away (services to Kings Cross in about 50 minutes and Liverpool Street in about 70 minutes) and the M11 (Junction 11) is about 2.5 miles away, giving fast access to Stansted Airport.
DESCRIPTION
The precise origins of the Old Mill House are unclear but it is believed to date from the mid Victorian era. The house is unusually large for this part of Cambridge and benefits from particularly spacious reception rooms. The house is mainly constructed of white painted brick walls under a slate roof.
The house has many period features - the Drawing Room boasts two fireplaces and there is some fine plaster work to the cornices. There is also a lift. Clearly, the house now requires updating but it offers great scope for those seeking unusually spacious domestic accommodation close to the City Centre which is rarely available in Cambridge.
