Confidence: MEDIUM

This Victorian end-of-terrace home in the sought-after Romsey Town district presents a solid renovation project for those looking to add value in a desirable Cambridge location. With approximately 871 sq. ft. of living space, the property features two double bedrooms, a separate living and dining area, and a useful cellar for additional storage. The garden offers a private outdoor space, enhancing the appeal for potential buyers.

While the asking price of £500,000 translates to £574/sqf—slightly above the local average of £567/sqf—this listing does present a good opportunity for modernisation. However, the all-in costs, including refurbishment, look tight against local benchmarks, which may limit potential profit margins. The dated interiors and worn carpets in the living areas and kitchen are areas ripe for improvement, giving buyers a chance to transform the property. Overall, this home offers character and potential in a vibrant neighbourhood, making it worth considering for the right buyer.
