Description

This unique Grade II listed home, built in the 1960s, presents a remarkable opportunity for investment and renovation in a highly desirable residential area. Located just a mile from the city centre and within close proximity to the M11 and mainline railway station, this semi-detached property boasts an architecturally distinctive design with concrete block construction and a flat asphalt roof. Although the house requires extensive refurbishment to restore its former glory, it also offers potential for expansion, pending necessary consents. The surrounding Newnham area is renowned for its local amenities, including shops, schools, and recreational facilities such as Lammas Land Recreation Ground. This property not only allows for customization into a bespoke residence but also holds significant appeal due to its location near prestigious colleges and picturesque riverside walks.
