NORFOLK STREET, CAMBRIDGE

Norfolk Cottage is an original Victorian two-up, two-down historic house located in the up-and-coming Petersfield area of Cambridge.

The home has been completely renovated while respecting the Victorian heritage of the building, featuring a modern eco-friendly feel. It has also been extended to provide a substantial family home over three floors—a far cry from its original design, yet executed with great simplicity.

As you enter through the main door, you are welcomed into an open-plan living and dining room, featuring a beautiful log burner set within a small inglenook. The spacious dining area comfortably accommodates a large dining table and offers space for a workstation beneath the stairs. The rear-facing kitchen is fully equipped with integrated NEFF and AEG appliances, sleek cabinetry, Velux windows, and access to both the south-facing courtyard and an additional reception room/fourth bedroom, which includes a three-piece en-suite and access to the utility room.

The first floor offers two generous bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom, while the top floor features a third bedroom. Externally, the property boasts a tranquil, fully paved courtyard, enclosed by a brick wall running the full length of the garden, and includes a wood store shed.
