Description

This charming 1920s terraced house features three generously sized double bedrooms and a pleasant southeasterly facing rear garden, situated in a desirable and tranquil neighborhood to the northwest of the city center. It presents an opportunity for renovation or enhancement, appealing to those looking to invest in property with potential for future value appreciation. Characterized by its bay-fronted design, the home retains several period features such as original fireplaces and decorative picture rails. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, it offers easy access to local amenities and falls within the catchment areas for both Mayfield Primary School and Chesterton Community College, making it an attractive option for families. Upon entering, you find a welcoming hallway leading to the various living spaces. The front living room is brightened by a bay window and features an unused but appealing fireplace. Adjacent to this space is a dining room that also boasts a fireplace and French doors that open out onto the well-established garden. The kitchen comes equipped with fitted cabinets and ample space for appliances, along with access to the outdoor area through a glazed door. The upper level houses three double bedrooms, two of which include cozy fireplaces and one featuring a walk-in cupboard for additional storage. A family bathroom complements this floor with essential amenities including a two-piece suite, while a separate WC adds convenience. The property is set back from the street with a paved front garden enclosed by fencing. Gated access leads to the inviting rear garden that enjoys sunlight throughout the day; it is primarily laid to lawn with established borders of trees and shrubs alongside a patio area—ideal for potential landscaping or outdoor improvements. Located just off Huntingdon Road, Richmond Road benefits from its proximity to key transport links, local schools, parks like Histon Road Recreation Ground—which offers play facilities—and is within walking or cycling distance from Cambridge’s city center. With both railway stations just over two miles away providing regular services into London, this location combines suburban peace with urban convenience. Overall, this property stands as an excellent canvas for creative renovations or expansions (subject to relevant planning permissions), providing both immediate comfort and long-term investment potential in one of Cambridge’s sought-after neighborhoods.
