Description

This two-bedroom Victorian cottage combines traditional charm with significant renovation and investment potential, set in a desirable area of Romsey Town. The property is conveniently located just moments from Mill Road's vibrant cafés, shops, and restaurants, making it an appealing choice for lifestyle seekers. Additionally, it lies under a mile from Cambridge train station, enhancing its accessibility for commuters. Upon entry, the home greets you with a bright living room featuring attractive exposed wooden floors. This space flows into a second reception room, which boasts a characterful fireplace and built-in cupboards. With some reconfiguration, this room can be transformed into an inviting dining area or an upgraded living space. The galley kitchen includes essential fittings such as under-counter and eye-level cabinets along with an integrated oven and hob. An adjoining enclosed lean-to provides access to the private west-facing rear garden – an area ripe for landscaping or floral enhancements. The kitchen also features a convenient downstairs WC and an additional room that could serve well as a study or home office. Upstairs reveals two spacious double bedrooms, each adorned with exposed wooden flooring that adds to the property's character. The main bedroom spans the width of the house while the second bedroom includes built-in storage and a fitted sink, offering opportunities for personal customization. A generously sized bathroom completes the upper level, equipped with a bath and overhead shower. The west-facing garden presents ample space for landscaping projects or outdoor entertaining. There is also a rear gate offering practical access for bins and bikes. Notably, this property benefits from a pedestrian right of way at the back that leads directly to its private garden without any shared access from neighboring homes. On-street parking is available at the front of the property alongside a small garden enclosed by a low brick wall that contributes to its curb appeal. Cavendish Road is well-regarded within Romsey Town due to its proximity to essential city amenities as well as local schools like St Philips CofE Primary School and Coleridge Community College. This location not only promises convenience but also holds great potential for future investment value in one of Cambridge’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Additional details include mains water, sewage, electricity, gas services; local authority: Cambridge City Council; council tax band C; EPC rating D; freehold tenure; internet options including cable and fiber connections.
