Description

This three-bedroom period terrace offers around 886 sq ft over two floors and is being sold with no onward chain. The ground floor has a hallway and two reception rooms, with glazed folding doors between them so they can be used separately or opened into a larger space. At the rear, the kitchen has fitted units, work surfaces, appliance space and access towards the garden. Upstairs are two larger bedrooms, a third bedroom and a family bathroom. Outside, an enclosed rear garden is mainly lawn, with established planting and a path leading back to the house. The accommodation and garden provide scope for updating and personalisation. Reconfiguration or an extension could be explored subject to the necessary consents. Hemingford Road is within reach of Mill Road's shops, cafés and restaurants, Cambridge railway station, local schools and everyday amenities. The property is offered with no onward chain.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a light-updating project with good period proportions: two reception rooms linked by glazed folding doors, three bedrooms and an enclosed garden give it a solid base to personalise. The finishes are old-fashioned across several rooms, so there is scope for a cosmetic refresh, with the kitchen and bathroom among the more obvious areas to update.

At £500,000, it is broadly in line with the local £/sqf average, just 0.4% below it, so the price is reasonable rather than a standout bargain. The D grade reflects limited value headroom at that level, despite the useful layout and popular Cambridge setting.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes and older floor coverings to give the reception rooms and bedrooms a more contemporary feel.
  • The older fitted kitchen offers scope to modernise the space to suit a new owner.
  • Make the most of the enclosed garden with routine clearance and landscaping; the two connected reception rooms also offer flexible entertaining space.
