Description

This charming three-bedroom semi-detached property, built in the 1930s, is nestled on a quiet residential road known for its family-friendly atmosphere. The location provides convenient access to Cambridge city centre, Addenbrooke's Hospital, the Biomedical Campus, and a selection of reputable schools, making it ideal for both families and professionals alike. Offering 842 sq ft (78 sq m) of living space across two levels, the layout includes a bright living room featuring a bay window, a generous dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen that overlooks the rear garden. The upper floor comprises three good-sized bedrooms along with a contemporary family bathroom. A notable aspect of this property is the expansive rear garden, which is fully block-paved and includes an area of artificial turf. This design ensures low maintenance while still providing ample space for family gatherings or outdoor leisure. Given the size of the plot and the arrangement of the house, there is significant potential for extension or renovation (subject to planning permission), a possibility already realized by some neighboring homes. At the front, you'll find an attractive garden alongside a long driveway that offers convenient off-street parking options. This setting not only adds to the property's curb appeal but also enhances its functionality. The prime location further enhances this property's investment potential; it is just off Hills Road, allowing for easy walking or cycling access to Cambridge Station within about 20 minutes and to the city centre in roughly 35 minutes. Additionally, it falls within catchment areas for several highly-rated state schools and is in close proximity to well-regarded private institutions. Local amenities are plentiful, including various restaurants, pubs, and shops nearby. For those seeking recreation or entertainment options, a leisure centre with a cinema complex and gym sits just a short stroll away. The Junction arts venue offers diverse performances in drama and music as well. This property presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a desirable area of Cambridge with promising renovation potential. Early viewing is advisable for anyone interested in exploring what this home has to offer.
