Description

This three-bedroom property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and personalisation in a sought-after location. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that sets the tone for the home’s generous layout. The living room is bright and inviting, featuring a large front-facing window that overlooks the well-maintained front garden. It flows seamlessly into an open-plan dining area, providing ample space for family gatherings or entertaining guests. Adjacent to the dining room is a sunroom, which adds versatility to the space; it can be adapted as a hobby area or additional dining space with views of the private rear garden. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with solid wood cabinets and generous work surfaces, offering potential for updates to modernize its appeal. A ground floor WC enhances convenience for everyday living. Upstairs, you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms filled with natural light. Each bedroom has built-in storage solutions suited for families or anyone looking to create a comfortable home office or study area. The bathroom is functional and includes essential fittings, but there’s clear potential for a contemporary redesign. The outdoor areas are noteworthy as well; the rear garden provides a sense of privacy with mature borders and an existing concrete garage at its far end. This garage offers substantial storage options but could also be transformed into a workshop or creative studio—an ideal prospect for those wanting extra space beyond the main residence. Located in a tranquil cul-de-sac off Brimley Road, this home benefits from easy access to Cambridge city centre, as well as local schools and amenities. With nearby cycle routes leading to Cambridge North Station and various business parks, this property holds considerable appeal not only for growing families but also for investors keen on capitalising on its renovation potential in an attractive neighborhood. Additionally, there may be opportunities for expansion (subject to planning permissions), allowing new owners to tailor their investment further. This property is an excellent candidate for those looking to make their mark in North Cambridge while enjoying proximity to essential services and transport links.
