Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached house in Bassett Close presents a unique opportunity for renovation, particularly with its attractive guide price of £395,000, which is below the local average of £434,360. The property is being offered with no upward chain, making it a convenient option for buyers looking to move quickly. While the interior is largely dated, including the living areas and bedrooms, this provides a blank canvas for potential buyers to implement their vision and create a more modern living space.

The garden is in poor condition, which could be revitalized to enhance outdoor living. Notably, the bathroom has been updated recently and remains in good condition, which is a positive aspect. With a renovation budget estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, this home offers a realistic project scale for those looking to add value. The location is also appealing, with easy access to amenities, schools, and transport links, particularly suited for commuters to Cambridge and beyond.

Key opportunities

  • Scope to improve and extend the property, with previous extension plans available for inspection.
  • Revitalizing the dated garden to enhance outdoor living space.
  • Good condition of the bathroom allows for immediate usability while planning larger renovations.
