Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a promising renovation opportunity, ideal for investors or buyers looking to create their perfect home. Situated in a favourable location, just 1.2 miles from Cambridge North railway station via the Chisholm Trail and with easy access to the A14, this property combines convenience with potential. The house features a spacious rear garden and off-street parking, with ample room for expansion. Inside, you will find double-glazed windows and a gas radiator central heating system, complemented by a practical layout that includes a living room with a gas fire and a separate dining room. The kitchen offers basic fitted units and access to a covered side passageway. On the first floor, there are two sizeable double bedrooms with built-in cupboards alongside a single bedroom and a modern shower room. While the property requires some modernisation due to its non-standard Laing Easiform concrete construction, this aspect can be navigated with appropriate financial advice regarding mortgage options. With no upward chain, this home is ready for the right buyer to add value through thoughtful renovations.
