Imagine yourself relaxing on that roof terrace, drink in hand, as the sun sets over the city

A Regency-era home in a central Cambridge street has gone on the market and in the apt words of the estate agent "I would never have imagined what lay behind this handsome exterior". Number 6 Panton Street stretches over four floors and has just about everything one could ask for, including a secluded terrace, gym, sauna, courtyard garden and a stunning living space.

It is believed the home, situated between Coe Fen, Cambridge University Botanic Garden and Parker's Piece, dates back to the 1830s and it shows in the Victorian features present throughout. The five-bed house is a stylish mix of old and new, combining stripped wooden floors and open fireplaces with skylights and glass walls.

Savills property agent Ed Meyer said: "On approaching this house I would never have imagined what lay behind this handsome exterior. This is a gorgeous home in every way with exceptional light and incredible entertaining space both inside and out." The home is set back from the road by iron railings and a collection of shrubs, surrounded by other equally historic properties.

The current owners had left their mark on the place by creating a glass extension that combines the kitchen with a living space that accommodates both sofas and a dining table. This open-plan area is filled with light which pours in through a glass roof and multiple floor-to-ceiling glass French doors, facing into the courtyard garden. The cream kitchen units are bright and centre around a wooden kitchen island, along with all the fancy appliances you'd ever want.

At the front of the home, there are two other reception rooms with beautiful bay and sash windows looking out onto the street, with space for a study, sitting room or snug. Other features include a Victorian fireplace with stone mantelpiece, attractive tiles, bespoke storage and bookshelves. Stairs lead down to a basement level (which can also be accessed from the street) which is currently used as a gym, benefiting from an en suite shower room and sauna.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor, one of which could be used as a dressing room for the principal bedroom. This master bedroom has double doors which open up onto a secluded terrace, laid with artificial grass and a glass balustrade which overlooks the courtyard garden. It can also be accessed by a wrought iron staircase which spirals up from the garden.

All three bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom which features a freestanding enamel bath with clawed feet. The two bedrooms on the second floor are served by a shower room recently refitted by the current owners. Outside, a private walled garden to the rear contains a paved courtyard with trellising and planting, water features and an automatic watering system.

To the rear of the property, there is an undercover parking area which is accessible off St Eligius Place, a private unadopted road. Cambridge is notoriously difficult to find parking in, but there is thankfully residential street parking available here.

26 Panton Street is on the market for £2,500,000. To view the full listing head to the Savills website here.

The home is a beautifully preserved Victorian property which has plenty of Regency era features, such as Cambridge white bricks beneath a slate roof.

The open-plan living space blends perfectly with the kitchen and provides a welcoming area for multiple uses.

Further French doors let light fill this space and the bright cream cabinets work well with the stripped wooden flooring.

This reception room has a bay window overlooking the street and a stunning Victorian fireplace.

Another reception room has a sash window overlooking the street and its own fireplace.

The master bedroom has plenty of space and the French doors open up onto the roof terrace.

The roof terrace is laid with artificial grass and is very secluded, giving residents privacy in a tranquil garden.

The courtyard garden is overlooked by the terrace and open-plan living space on the ground floor.

The family bathroom accommodates an enamel freestanding tub with clawed feet.

There are five bedrooms in total, with three of those on the first floor.

The top floor bedrooms have Victorian features such as this iron fireplace.
