Description

With over 2000 square feet of living space, including a loft conversion and additional annexe accommodation, the property sits on a substantial plot measuring approximately 235 feet in length. The location on Perne Road is highly desirable, providing convenient access to the railway station, Addenbrookes Hospital Biomedical Campus, and various local amenities including shops and schools. Internally, the home features a welcoming hallway leading to a spacious living room with a large bay window, allowing ample natural light. The separate dining room connects to a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and a conservatory that opens to the garden. The first floor comprises two sizable double bedrooms, a study or box room, and a fully tiled bathroom. The entire second floor is dedicated to a large double bedroom with dual aspect windows and an ensuite shower room. Outside, there is off-road parking for two vehicles and a shared driveway. The extensive rear garden backs onto playing fields and includes paved and lawned areas with mature fruit trees. The two annexes within the garden present further potential for updating.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This extended 1930s semi-detached house presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a spacious property at a notably attractive price. The asking price of £650,000 translates to £325/sqf, which is an impressive 42.7% below the local average of £567/sqf. This substantial discount offers room for value creation, particularly given the potential renovation scope ranging from £100,000 to £200,000.

The property boasts a large plot of around 235 ft in length, two annexes in the garden, and a well-maintained modern kitchen and bathroom, which can be leveraged to enhance the overall appeal. While the interiors show signs of general wear and tear, this sets the stage for a personal touch and updates that could significantly elevate the property’s market value. With no upward chain, this listing is an inviting project for those looking to invest in a home with considerable space and potential in a well-located area close to local amenities and transport links.
