St. Peter's Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 0BD

A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of late Georgian/early Victorian houses, together with a workshop and outbuilding, offering significant scope for refurbishment, redevelopment or repurposing, in this premier central city location.



City Centre 0.5 of a mile, M11 (junction 13 - southbound only) 2 miles, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) 2.25 miles (distances are approximate).



18a and 18b St. Peter’s Street are Grade II listed and comprise a pair of late Georgian/early Victorian houses, complete with workshop and ancillary buildings, close to the River Cam and Cambridge city centre. The buildings are arranged in a 'U' shape with generous rear garden and have been used for student accommodation. They are now offered as a whole and provide a unique opportunity for redevelopment/refurbishment, subject to planning and consents.



The property will be sold subject to a restrictive covenant prohibiting its use as student accommodation.



The property is set back from the road behind a low brick and wrought iron wall. The large front garden is laid to lawn with paved pathway to main entrance with further paved area adjacent to the front elevation. There is separate access from St. Peter’s Street to both the ancillary buildings on either side of the main house.

The rear gardens are enclosed by brick walling and timber fencing and are currently divided by a mature hedge, mainly laid to lawn with variety of mature hedging and trees. There is rear access at the rear of number 18a, to Honey Hill, whilst gated side access from St. Peter’s Street leads at the side of number 18b, to the rear garden.



Development Potential

The attached workshop and garage buildings offer scope for alternative uses or conversion, subject to approval of the necessary planning and listed building consents. The larger northern workshop (former Langdon Building) has previously been approved for residential conversion and is considered capable of accommodating a range of uses, providing its historic character and key architectural features are retained and preserved. The smaller southern garage is likely to offer greater flexibility and may present opportunities for conversion, alteration or redevelopment, although retention of important boundary walls and key streetscape-facing elevations would be expected. More generally, the property offers potential for reconfiguration, including use as either a single dwelling or separate units, together with sensitive enhancement of later additions and less significant parts of the site. Any proposals should adopt a heritage-led approach reflecting the property's Grade II listed status and location within the Castle and Victoria Road Conservation Area.
