Description

This semi-detached 5-bedroom property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable area south-east of Cambridge. Situated in the Cherry Hinton district, the house features a spacious entrance hall that leads to an inviting sitting room, along with a kitchen and dining area that offers great potential for modernisation. The utility room provides practicality with access to the garden, while the first floor comprises three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The top floor contains two additional bedrooms and a shower room, making it ideal for accommodating growing families or as rental units. Although the home boasts gas central heating and double-glazing, it requires updates to achieve its full potential. The generous rear garden is a blank canvas, while off-street parking adds convenience. As this property is of non-standard construction (laing Easi-form from 1955), there may be specific considerations for refurbishment, but this also opens avenues for creative designs that enhance value in this vibrant community populated with shops, schools, and parklands.
