Cambridge 2000: Parkside: 35
35 Parkside, in common with neighbouring buildings, was
originally a private house, and then in the 20th century
it was converted to be commercial
premises, when that was more profitable. In the first part of the 21st
century it then became more profitable
to convert these buildings back into residential use, but into flats
rather than a single house.
In this case, the original building (to the left of the photo) was
slightly extended and converted into seven flats, and five flats in
new buildings were then added on what originally would have been the
garden, but prior to this development was a parking lot.
These new flats are suitably stylish, but as can be seen, there is no
garden space left, and the gates for the block on the right interferes,
when open, with the carport for the block on the left. This configuration
of parking works at all because there is access from Warkworth Terrace
down a back alley, which was presumably key to making this development
feasible.
