Description

This end-of-terrace 2-bedroom home offers a solid foundation for those seeking a renovation project or an investment opportunity in the charming village of Bassingbourn. The property features a traditional layout with ample living space, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors looking to add value through updates and improvements. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that leads into a well-proportioned lounge. This area is enhanced by natural light streaming in from the front-facing window, and it presents an inviting space for various furnishings. The room’s wood flooring adds character, while its size allows for creative reconfiguration if desired. The kitchen/dining room is notably bright, benefiting from both windows and direct access to the rear garden. It comes equipped with essential appliances and has a range of base and wall units, providing functionality with potential for modern upgrades. This area offers the possibility to expand or redesign according to personal taste, presenting an excellent chance for those looking to enhance their culinary experience. Upstairs, you will find two generously sized bedrooms. The main bedroom includes integrated wardrobe space, while both rooms are well-suited for customization to increase storage or living comfort. A family bathroom completes this level, featuring standard fixtures that could be refreshed or reconfigured as part of future renovations. The outdoor space is another noteworthy feature; the rear garden is fully enclosed and boasts a mixture of lawn and patio areas. It offers a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation or entertaining and holds potential for landscaping enhancements or even an extension, depending on planning permissions. Additionally, the existing summerhouse provides extra utility and could be transformed into a unique garden retreat or workspace. Bassingbourn itself benefits from local amenities including shops, medical facilities, and educational institutions ranging from preschool to secondary levels. Its proximity—just four miles southwest of Cambridge—makes it appealing for commuters. The nearby town of Royston offers further conveniences such as supermarkets and train services directly into London Kings Cross in as little as 38 minutes. With easy access to major road networks like the M11 and A1 as well as airports within half an hour’s drive, this location provides both rural charm and urban connectivity. This property not only presents immediate livability but also significant potential for improvement that can yield substantial returns in one of Cambridgeshire's sought-after areas.
