Description

This Edwardian mid-terraced cottage, built in 1908, spans 779 sqft (72 sqm) and boasts a spacious south-facing garden, positioned in a tranquil area just off the vibrant High Street of Trumpington. With proximity to the city center (only 2 miles away), this property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment within a friendly community that features both historical and contemporary elements. The layout includes an entrance porch, providing functionality for shoe and coat storage. The living/dining room features original wooden flooring and benefits from a dual aspect that invites natural light. An electric stove adds character to the space, while a convenient understairs cupboard offers extra storage. The kitchen is equipped with basic units and houses a combi-boiler, but there's potential here for modern upgrades or reconfiguration. Upstairs comprises two double bedrooms along with a generously sized bathroom featuring appealing tiling. Notably, the landing provides access to a partially boarded loft area that presents possibilities for extension (subject to obtaining necessary permissions). Externally, there is on-street parking available, and the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs and trees, all enclosed by fencing which enhances privacy. A useful storage shed completes this outdoor space. The property enjoys excellent transport links, particularly appealing for those commuting to Addenbrooke's or accessing the M11 and city via bus or bicycle. The upcoming Cambridge South station set to open in June 2026 will further enhance connectivity. Local amenities are plentiful, including several primary schools, secondary schools with commendable sports facilities, diverse eateries, shops like Waitrose superstore, and other conveniences. Overall, this property holds significant potential for renovation or expansion within an enviable East of England location.
