Description

This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a significant opportunity for enhancement and expansion, subject to planning permissions. Boasting a generous 65-foot rear garden and a double garage, the property enjoys pleasant views over Coldhams Common and is offered with no onward chain. Measuring over 828 sqft, the layout offers well-distributed living spaces across two levels. The entrance hall leads into an open plan living/dining area featuring dual aspect windows and access to the rear garden through glazed doors, creating potential for modernising or reconfiguring this central space. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from updating to maximise its usability. Upstairs comprises three bedrooms, including two doubles with attractive views and built-in storage in the master bedroom. The single bedroom provides further versatility for family living or could be repurposed as a home office. The bathroom includes basic amenities that may require refurbishment to meet contemporary standards. Externally, the house is set back from the road with off-street parking options and a double garage that holds potential for conversion into an annexe or additional living space. With its substantial garden area, this property enables various landscaping possibilities. Located on Coldham’s Lane, you’ll find easy connectivity to Cambridge city centre along with nearby retail and leisure facilities at the Beehive Centre. This property invites creative renovation ideas to transform it into a modern family home or rental investment.
