Description
Nestled in a pleasant neighborhood just over two miles north of Cambridge City Centre, this semi-detached house on Bassett Close offers a fantastic opportunity for renovation and extension. The property is conveniently located near Cambridge North Train Station, the Science Park, and key road networks including the A14 and M11. Families will appreciate the proximity to several schools, such as King's Hedges Primary School and Cambridge Regional College, while cyclists can enjoy dedicated cycleways providing safe access to local amenities.
Offered with no upward chain, this home features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a kitchen equipped with a good range of fitted units, a living room with a cozy wood-burning stove, and a conservatory that opens to a sunny rear garden. The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a modern shower room. Outside, the property boasts a lawned front garden, parking spaces, and potential for landscaping in the rear garden, which is currently in need of some attention. With previous extension plans available for inspection, this property presents an excellent investment opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a usable three-bedroom Cambridge home with a clean living room, wood-burning stove, conservatory and serviceable shower room, offering a light project rather than a full refurbishment. The clearest improvements are to make good the deteriorated kitchen lower units and clear and modestly landscape the overgrown rear garden; the stated renovation range is £5,000–£12,000. Previous extension plans are available to inspect, though no planning status or feasibility is established.
The overall WHOTS score is 48/100, grade E, reflecting limited condition opportunity alongside good fundamentals. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the price/value score is neutral rather than a finding that the asking price is high or low. The location has useful access to Cambridge North, the Science Park and transport links, and the property is offered with no upward chain.
Key opportunities
- Make good the damaged or missing kitchen plinths and investigate the staining beneath the base units.
- Clear the overgrown rear garden and carry out modest landscaping; the side paved area is already present.
- Inspect the previous extension plans as a possible starting point for exploring future improvements, without assuming planning approval or feasibility.
