Description

This end-of-terrace property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project within a sought-after area of south Cambridge. With its Victorian roots, the house features solid brick construction beneath a pitched slate roof and includes a substantial single-storey extension added to the rear, expanding its potential. The interior layout comprises a ground floor that opens into an inviting sitting and dining space, characterized by fitted carpet and timber-framed single-glazed windows overlooking both the front and rear gardens. The kitchen features basic MDF cabinetry and tiled flooring, offering the canvas for future upgrades or a complete remodel. A versatile bedroom or study space completes this level. On the first floor, two bedrooms provide ample room for family living or rental opportunities, both retaining their original features such as sash windows and fireplaces that could be restored with care. A cloakroom and family bathroom are also present, although they would benefit from modernization. Ascending to the second floor reveals a loft room currently used as an additional bedroom, enhanced by Velux windows that fill the space with natural light. Outside, the long, narrow garden awaits attention. Its overgrown state poses an opportunity to create an outdoor retreat with landscaping efforts; there's also a dilapidated timber shed that could be removed or repaired depending on your vision. Located just under two miles from Cambridge city center, this property is conveniently situated near local amenities including Fawcett Primary School and Waitrose supermarket. It offers easy access to major transport links like the M11 motorway and is close to significant healthcare facilities such as Papworth Hospital and Addenbrooke's Hospital. With current tenants in place generating a monthly rent of £1,400 under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement, this property not only serves as a residence but can also function as an income-generating asset while renovations are planned. This blend of location advantages and investment potential makes it a compelling proposition for buyers seeking both immediate returns and long-term value enhancement.
