This generously sized semi-detached residence, boasting approximately 1,441 square feet of living space, sits on a 0.17-acre plot and includes a double garage. With its bay-fronted design and significant renovation potential, this property represents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a home that requires modernisation while offering ample scope for expansion (subject to planning permission).
As you enter, you are greeted by a solid timber door flanked by stained glass windows. Inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads to three reception rooms. The main sitting room features beautiful bay windows and is complemented by an adjoining living room with classic fireplaces. The dining room also benefits from dual aspect light and has a gas fire installed (currently non-operational). The kitchen comprises a range of matching units and is equipped with an oil-fired Aga. Completing the ground floor is a convenient wet room with basin and low-level W.C.
On the upper level, there are four bedrooms—two of which are generous doubles, each featuring striking fireplaces. A separate bathroom and W.C cater to the upper floor, alongside access to eaves storage.
The property occupies a prominent corner position at Milton and Arbury Road, set back from Milton Road behind an enclosed paved front garden surrounded by mature hedgerows. A side gate leads to the private rear garden, which includes a storage shed and rotating summerhouse; it predominantly consists of lawn bordered by various shrubs and trees. At the end of the garden, there is a large potting shed with lighting and power supply, adjacent to the double garage providing additional utility. There’s also a small driveway accessible via Arbury Road.
Situated just 1.5 miles from the city center, this location offers excellent connectivity; it’s about 0.6 miles from Cambridge Science Park and 1.1 miles from Cambridge North railway station. Local amenities are within easy reach, including shops nearby and secondary schooling offered at Chesterton Community College. The river, Midsummer Common, and various university facilities can be accessed conveniently by foot or bicycle.
Notably, while central heating is currently absent—relying instead on an oil-fired Aga for hot water—the property is connected to mains gas for those interested in installing central heating solutions in future renovations.
This home has great potential for investors or buyers willing to modernize it according to their tastes while taking advantage of its desirable location close to city amenities. It comes without any chain complications for quicker occupancy.
