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.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When you see a property you are interested in on our website, call us 24/7 to arrange a viewing. Or if you prefer, get in touch via our website and we will call you back to find a time to view the property that suits you.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. A bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.

Or if you’re considering letting your property, we can take the stress out of managing your rental, and our award winning lettings team offer a service that can be tailored to your needs.
