This two-bedroom semi-detached house presents a solid opportunity for renovation and investment while offering the charm of its original features. With potential for further extension (subject to planning permission), this property invites imaginative updates that could enhance both its living space and value.
Located in the tranquil village of Ickleton, just outside Great Chesterford and Saffron Walden, it provides an appealing environment for those commuting to Cambridge and London. The property is conveniently situated approximately 1.5 miles from Great Chesterford mainline station, which offers frequent train services to both cities. Additionally, access to the M11 (Junction 10) is only three miles away, enhancing connectivity for road users.
Inside, the ground floor encompasses a spacious lounge that encourages relaxation and social engagement. The kitchen diner is well-presented and serves as a functional area for family meals or gatherings. A convenient ground-floor bathroom adds practicality to the layout. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms; one includes built-in wardrobes providing valuable storage solutions.
The outdoor space consists of off-street parking for one vehicle, with options for additional on-street parking available. The rear garden is well-maintained, offering an ample area for outdoor activities or gardening pursuits. A versatile outbuilding equipped with power opens avenues for use as a workshop, home office, or extra storage—the potential here is ripe for those looking to customize their living experience.
It’s important to note that part of the construction incorporates clunch/clay lump materials; therefore, potential buyers may need to consult lenders who specialize in non-standard constructions.
Ickleton itself boasts a combination of period properties alongside village amenities such as a historic church, popular inn, and a well-stocked shop/post office, adding character to community life. With Saffron Walden just five miles away and Cambridge within eleven miles, residents can enjoy nearby urban conveniences while still relishing rural tranquility.
This property’s blend of location benefits and renovation possibilities makes it an intriguing option for investors seeking a project with long-term rewards in a desirable community setting.
