Property description
Panton Street is a desirable residential location parallel to Hills Road, with one-way traffic calming adding to its appeal. Cambridge City Centre is within close proximity, offering a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, as is the mainline railway station (services to London from around 50 minutes), and the Cambridge University Botanical Gardens, a unique 40-acre garden with Victorian glass houses and cafes. The City has become a high-tech and 'biotech' hub with the internationally renowned Science park and Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus. Schools for all age groups in both the state and independent sectors are close by, and good road links via the M11 and A14 provide onward access to major road networks.
This spacious period property has been recently redecorated and offers flexible and stylish accommodation arranged over four floors. Retaining many period features the property also has some attractive contemporary additions which further enhance this already impressive property. Of historical interest, the property ( known as 2 Belvedere Terrace at the time) has connections with Horace Darwin (Charles Darwins youngest son) who started the
Cambridge Instrument Company and William Pye's company which became a major player in radio and TV manufacture.
