Description

Brampton Road offers a unique opportunity for investors and buyers seeking a renovation project in one of Cambridge's most desirable residential areas. This property, held by the same owner for over 40 years, presents a chance to modernise, reconfigure, and potentially extend, creating a highly appealing home in a sought-after location. With approximately 850 sqft of accommodation, the house features three bedrooms and a layout that includes a rear extension. The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious living and dining room, measuring around 6.60m x 4.08m, complete with a bay window, exposed timber flooring, and a feature fireplace. This generous space allows for distinct sitting and dining areas while maintaining an open feel. The rear of the property houses the kitchen, utility area, bathroom, and separate WC. The kitchen, measuring approximately 3.71m x 2.38m, provides direct access to the rear garden. For those looking to add value, this section of the home holds significant potential for expansion, subject to necessary planning permissions. This could allow for a larger first-floor arrangement or a more traditional three-bedroom family layout. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, including a good-sized main bedroom with a bay window and two additional rooms suited for children or as a study. The rear garden is notably longer than typical for the area, offering ample opportunity for landscaping and redesigning the outdoor space, complete with a deck and garage at the far end. The front garden area and on-street parking provide convenience, with potential for off-road parking subject to permissions. This property is not presented as a finished home; rather, it is an appealing canvas for those ready to invest time and resources into creating something special. Located in the popular Romsey area of Cambridge, Brampton Road benefits from its proximity to local amenities including the Beehive Centre and Mill Road's vibrant independent shops and eateries. With excellent transport links to Cambridge railway station and easy access to green spaces, this property offers a strong foundation for those looking to invest in a growing community.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £375,000, this three-bedroom Cambridge terrace is priced at £441 per sq ft, 22.2% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. The 72/100 B-grade reflects that appeal alongside a moderate project: the generous living/dining room, exposed timber floor and fireplace give the ground floor character, while dated finishes across several rooms offer clear scope to modernise. The rear garden is notably long, with established planting and space to rethink the deck and layout.

The existing rear extension also creates a possible route to a larger first-floor arrangement, subject to planning, building regulations and structural checks. The renovation range is £40,000–£65,000; the bathroom ceiling staining should be investigated as part of planning the works. Overall, this is a good-value renovation canvas with distinctive space and garden potential.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £441 per sq ft, 22.2% below the local average, leaving room to improve the property.
  • Modernise the dated interiors, including the kitchen, bathroom, decoration and selected flooring.
  • Make more of the long garden and explore the potential to extend above the existing rear addition, subject to permissions and structural considerations.

Key risks

  • Bathroom ceiling staining should be investigated before the refurbishment scope is finalised.
