Description

This detached bungalow offers four bedrooms and more than 1,700 sq ft of accommodation, including a first-floor loft room with an en-suite. The property has been extended and altered over time, creating a flexible layout with scope for further adaptation as part of an updating programme. It is offered with no onward chain, just outside Cambridge in a non-estate setting overlooking farmland to the front. The entrance hall leads to three ground-floor double bedrooms, two with bay windows and built-in storage, as well as a kitchen and dining room extending to over 26 ft. The kitchen has extensive cabinets and worktops and opens to a conservatory with access to a side courtyard. A rear hall connects to a large living room with a woodburner and sliding doors to the garden. A utility room, shower room and study complete the ground floor. Stairs from the dining area lead to the loft room and its en-suite. Outside, a block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles and is shared with the neighbouring property at the rear. Side access on both sides leads to the enclosed rear garden, which is mainly lawn and includes a workshop and garden room. The house has double glazing and oil-fired central heating.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious detached bungalow offers a strong-value canvas: the £500,000 asking price works out at about £282/sq ft, around 24.6% below the local average. Its flexible layout, farmland outlook and position just outside Cambridge add to the appeal, while the dated kitchen and bathroom, worn flooring and tired finishes give a buyer clear scope to refresh the house. The existing renovation range is £40,000–£70,000.

There is useful outside space too, with an enclosed garden, driveway parking, workshop and garden room. The available photos show no clear major structural failure, though the weathered workshop and unfinished-looking areas in the shower room merit attention as part of the project.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom/shower room, including addressing the exposed plumbing and unfinished areas.
  • Improve the worn or bare flooring and dated finishes across several rooms to give the spacious home a more cohesive feel.
  • Make use of the flexible layout, enclosed garden, driveway and workshop/garden room to suit a buyer’s needs.
