Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home, nestled in the sought-after village of Great Shelford, presents a promising opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation potential. Set on a generous plot, the house features a large rear garden that is currently overgrown, allowing for the creation of an expansive outdoor area after some thoughtful landscaping. The ground floor includes an entrance hallway that leads to a spacious living room, highlighted by a front aspect window and fireplace, which offers a welcoming first impression. At the back of the property, the kitchen overlooks the garden and provides ample scope for reconfiguration or enlargement to better suit modern living needs. Upstairs, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a family bathroom, all areas ripe for updating and personalisation as desired. This property, constructed from Unity Type 2 non-traditional prefabricated concrete panels, may require specific mortgage considerations, so potential buyers should consult their lenders regarding financing options. Located just south of Cambridge, this home benefits from its proximity to local amenities including shops, eateries, schools and mainline transport links to both Cambridge and London Liverpool Street via nearby railway services. The excellent road access via the A10 and M11 ensures connectivity to surrounding areas as well. With considerable scope for refurbishment throughout, this property is ideal for investors or homeowners eager to undertake a renovation project in an attractive village setting.
