Description

This semi-detached house, a family-oriented residence with three bedrooms, presents a solid foundation for renovation in a desirable northern city location. The property sits on a generous plot, featuring a sizeable rear garden and a front driveway, ideal for those looking to invest in expansion opportunities. Having been owned since its construction in 1956, the home is in good overall condition but is primed for modernization to maximize its potential. With a well-laid layout including an entrance hall leading to a kitchen fitted with essential units, plus an inviting living room that flows into a dining area and conservatory—overlooking the expansive garden—this home has functional spaces that can be easily upgraded. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, two of which are spacious doubles with built-in wardrobes. The existing family bathroom includes standard fixtures but could benefit from contemporary updates. The property is set back from the road and boasts ample off-road parking along with double gates leading to both a car port and garage with power supply. With its southwesterly garden orientation and enclosed space ideal for family gatherings or outdoor enhancements, this house not only provides comfortable living but also significant scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to necessary permissions. Located within close proximity to Cambridge North railway station and local amenities on Chesterton High Street, this property combines convenience with investment potential—a rare find in an established residential area.
