Description

This three-bedroom mid-terrace property, located in the vibrant city of Cambridge, presents a promising opportunity for renovation-minded buyers. Spanning two floors, the home retains the traditional layout characteristic of Victorian terraces, offering ample space and significant potential for modern updates throughout. The ground floor features an entrance hall that leads into a comfortable living room, complemented by a separate dining room and a kitchen at the rear. A lean-to connects to the garden, which enhances the outdoor space, and includes a ground-floor bathroom that could benefit from modernization. On the first floor, you will find three bedrooms: two spacious doubles and a smaller single that could serve well as a study or nursery. The private rear garden offers great possibilities for landscaping or even extension (subject to planning permission), perfect for enhancing outdoor living. Situated just off Mill Road—famous for its eclectic mix of independent cafés and shops—this property is conveniently close to key amenities such as Parker's Piece and Cambridge railway station. Ideal for investors or those looking to increase property value through refurbishment, this residence is within reach of notable schools and is well-connected to both the city centre and main transport routes.
