Description

Southacre Drive is a private road off Chaucer Road, one of the city's most attractive and prestigious locations. It is a short walk from the University Botanic Gardens and the iconic riverside commons of Lammas Land, Sheep's Green and Coe Fen. It is very much at the heart of the historic city yet is peaceful, green and very private.

Chesterford House is one of 6 low-rise buildings at the end of the road that form a crescent around 2 acres of splendid mature gardens and the property occupies the south-west corner of the ground floor with French doors onto its own private terrace and straight out to the gardens.

The property briefly comprises an entrance lobby with a built-in cupboard. The open plan living/dining room benefits from a duel aspect a provides ample space for a separate living and dining table.
