Description

This 1940s semi-detached house presents a promising renovation opportunity in a sought-after residential neighbourhood, conveniently located just off Cherry Hinton Road. The property features a well-kept east-facing garden and offers the potential for extension, subject to planning permission. While it has been cared for by its current owner, the home would benefit from thoughtful updates to fully realize its potential. The spacious living room enjoys abundant afternoon sunlight and is highlighted by an inviting open fireplace alongside attractive exposed brickwork. An adjoining dining room provides pleasant views of the secluded rear gardens, creating a harmonious setting for family meals. The kitchen is equipped with fitted units and space for various appliances, along with modern flooring, though there may be scope for enhancement. Adjacent to the kitchen, a separate storage area currently serves as a utility space and includes a cloakroom W.C., which could be reimagined into more functional usage. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms—two comfortable doubles—and both a bathroom and additional cloakroom W.C. conveniently situated off the landing. The exterior showcases the property’s appeal, set back behind mature hedges with side access to the store and rear garden that enjoys significant privacy. Mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by various plant life, this garden offers great outdoor space. Situated just over a mile from Cambridge railway station and within easy reach of local amenities including shops, parks, and schools like Holme Court School and St Bede's, this property holds significant investment potential in an attractive location.
