Description

Situated in the heart of Cottenham, this property presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. The residence is positioned on a spacious plot, with potential for subdivision to create an additional building plot subject to planning permissions. There are also opportunities for significant expansion; you could enhance the existing structure by adding two storeys either to the rear or side, following the precedent set by neighboring properties. Furthermore, the generous garden space allows for the possibility of erecting a detached office, studio, or annexe. Currently, the home's layout includes a broad living room with stairs leading to the first floor, alongside a kitchen, bathroom, and a second reception area on the ground floor. The upper level houses two double bedrooms. While it requires modernisation throughout, this offers a blank canvas for prospective buyers. The rear garden benefits from vehicular access via its own driveway and has ample parking potential. Additionally, there is another driveway leading to a single garage. Cottenham itself is one of South Cambridgeshire's larger villages, located just six miles north of Cambridge and well-connected via the A14 and public transport links. It features a vibrant community atmosphere with various local amenities such as shops, cafes, pubs, and recreational facilities including sports centers and parks. Education provisions are strong in this region with respected primary and secondary schools nearby, Given its many possibilities for development along with its advantageous location in East Cambridgeshire, this property could be transformed into an attractive family home or lucrative rental investment.
