Description
A four-bedroom detached house in a cul-de-sac in Cambridge’s Newnham area, with approximately 2,360 sq ft of accommodation over two floors. Built in the 1970s and extended over time, it has been in the same family ownership for almost 30 years. The property is described as well maintained and ready to occupy, while its existing footprint and generous plot may offer scope for further extension, remodelling or modernisation, subject to the necessary consents and feasibility checks.
The listing places the house around three-quarters of a mile from the city centre and approximately two miles from the mainline railway station. Local shops, Newnham Croft Primary School and Lammas Land Recreation Ground are nearby, with schools, University departments and riverside walks also within reach. The M11 at junction 12 is stated to be about 1.25 miles away.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £1.1m, this detached four-bedroom home is priced around 21% below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition strength. It offers roughly 2,360 sq ft in sought-after Newnham, with the city centre, green space and local amenities close by.
The house appears maintained and usable, while the kitchen and several interior finishes are dated—an opportunity for a light cosmetic refresh rather than a major overhaul. Its established garden, driveway and generous plot add to the appeal, with scope for further extension or remodelling subject to planning consent.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen cabinetry, finishes and flooring to give the interior a more contemporary feel.
- Make the most of the generous plot and existing footprint, with potential for further extension or remodelling subject to planning consent.
- Enjoy the established garden, driveway and convenient access to the city centre, local facilities and recreation grounds.
