Description

This 1930s semi-detached home presents a rare opportunity to enter the market for the first time in five decades. Tucked away in a highly sought-after area, the property offers considerable renovation potential, making it an attractive prospect for investors or those looking to transform a classic residence into a contemporary haven. With a family history dating back to 1971, this home is ready for a complete overhaul. Spanning approximately 1,391 sq ft (not including the garage), it boasts a traditional floor plan featuring three bedrooms and three reception areas, complemented by a charming conservatory that gazes out over the west-facing garden. The existing layout provides ample opportunities for reconfiguration or extension, subject to planning permissions. For those interested in expanding their investment, additional land is available through separate negotiation. This land may hold future development potential; should planning permission be secured for residential units on the grounds, an overage clause will apply. This stipulates that the current owners would receive 25% of any increase in value resulting from such permissions over a 25-year period from the sale date. Conveniently positioned just off Hills Road, this property is within a 20-minute walk or short bike ride to Cambridge Station and roughly 35 minutes from the city center. It benefits from being in catchment areas for reputable state schools and offers easy access to various private educational institutions, Hills Road Sixth Form College, Addenbrooke's Hospital campus, and several Cambridge University colleges. The local area is rich with amenities, including diverse dining options, pubs, and shops. A leisure center located on Clifton Road features a cinema complex and gym facilities. Additionally, The Junction arts venue nearby hosts an array of performances ranging from drama to music and comedy. This property’s prime location combined with its renovation potential makes it an enticing option for buyers seeking both personal enjoyment and investment growth.
