A striking 5 bedroom, detached family home built to an individual design, which was previously the residence of the late Professor Stephen Hawking; located in the desirable Newnham area of the city, within walking distance of The Backs and the heart of the city centre.
City Centre 0.5 of a mile, Mainline Railway Station (Liverpool Street and King's Cross lines) 1.25 miles, M11 (Junction 12) 1.75 miles (distances are approximate).
Built to an individual design in 1990 by Stefan Zins, 23 Wordsworth Grove is constructed from brick elevations under a pitch tiled roof. The property is a highly individual and architecturally interesting, detached house, occupying a discreet and secluded position within one of Cambridge’s most sought-after no-through roads. Previously the residence of the late Professor Stephen Hawking, this unique property features beautiful, vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams, skylights and large deep glazed doors and windows which flood the property with natural light.
The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, which have been carried out to an excellent standard and have significantly enhanced both the functionality and overall appeal of the house. Most notably, the kitchen has been relocated to what was formerly the principal bedroom, with the removal of an old bathroom and kitchenette to create a superb, vaulted kitchen/dining room. The former kitchen/dining room has been repurposed to provide a study and a ground-floor bedroom, offering greater flexibility for modern family living. The result is a thoughtfully redesigned home that combines architectural interest, historical significance and contemporary accommodation.
