Description

This three-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house is set in a south Cambridge residential area and is offered with no onward chain. The property has a bay-fronted exterior and retains high ceilings and period features. The listing describes it as generally well cared for but in need of sympathetic updating, with scope to extend subject to the necessary checks and consents. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a bay-fronted sitting room, a separate dining room overlooking the rear garden, and a kitchen/breakfast room with a breakfast bar and side access. A utility room also provides a shower, basin and WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a further bathroom; the principal bedroom is currently used as an additional reception room and has a bay window and open fireplace. Outside, a driveway sits behind mature hedging and trees. The south-facing rear garden has a paved terrace, lawn and storage shed. Hartington Grove is described as being close to Hills Road, the city centre, Cambridge railway station, Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Biomedical Centre, with local shops, restaurants and schools nearby.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

60out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This bay-fronted Edwardian semi has a strong period canvas: high ceilings, fireplaces and bay windows, plus a south-facing garden and driveway. The interiors are usable but ready for sympathetic updating, with scope to refresh decoration and flooring and choose whether to modernise the dated kitchen and bathrooms. The listing also mentions scope to extend, though no plans or planning evidence are supplied.

At £675,000, it is about 3.6% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, which supports the value case. The overall opportunity is moderate rather than standout: the stated renovation midpoint brings the purchase-plus-renovation figure to about £685,000, close to the implied current local average value, before fees or stamp duty.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and showcase the bay windows, high ceilings and period fireplaces while refreshing decoration and flooring.
  • Use the south-facing garden, paved terrace, lawn and driveway as part of the home's appeal.
  • The listing identifies scope to extend, offering a possibility to investigate further.
