5 Historical Note 63 Storey s Way is Grade II Listed being of architectural or historical interest. It was built in 1912 by the architect T.D. Atkinson for Henry Brock, a famous artist and illustrator of the time. Storey s Way dates back to the Middle Ages when it was called Grithrow Field. In the 18th Century the land was incorporated into the estate of Edward Storey, a Cambridge Bookseller, and in 1909 the trustees of the Storey s charity decided to build a road linking Huntingdon Road with Madingley Road and to sub-divide plots for the building of houses, many of which were built by the highly acclaimed arts and crafts architect Bailey Scott. Description This highly impressive house is constructed of Cambridge yellow brick elevations, incorporating rendered quoins and sash windows, under a clay pantiled roof. The present owners purchased the property in 2004 and have since carried out a comprehensive programme of alterations, additions, and improvements to create a substantial family home which has been sympathetically refurbished to combine modern living with the character of the original building. Improvements of particular note include the refitting of the kitchen, bathrooms and shower rooms, rewiring, replumbing and replumbing, the addition of a single garage, with bedroom and shower room above, and a stunning ground floor orangery style extension to create a wonderful open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room. In short the property provides a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 6 bedroom family house with large mature gardens in one of the City's most highly regarded locations. Location Situated about 1 mile west of the heart of the City centre, Storey s Way is one of the most highly regarded roads in Cambridge, characterised by substantial houses with large gardens. It is conveniently placed for many of the Colleges and University departments and is within easy walking distance of St John's College School and King's College School in nearby Grange Road and West Road. The City provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, Colleges, winding lanes, the tree lined River Cam and excellent shopping facilities. It has also become a 'high tech' and bio tech hub with the University Research and Development laboratories, Cambridge Science Park (about 1 and 2.5 miles respectively) and Addenbrookes Hospital/Biomedical Campus, planned to be one of the largest centres of health, science, and medical research in the world, (about 4 miles). London commuters are also well served with a mainline railway station within about 2 miles, providing services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in 52 and 67 minutes respectively and the M11 (Junction 13 - Southbound only) is about 1 mile, providing access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
