This compact one-bedroom freehold home in Cottenham offers a vacant, chain-free purchase and clear scope for improvement. At 493 sq ft, the layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking an affordable entry into village life close to Cambridge. The property benefits from gas central heating, allocated off-street parking and a small enclosed front garden for low-maintenance outdoor space.
The accommodation is straightforward: a bright living/dining room with street-facing window and stairs to the first floor, a separate kitchen with appliance space and rear access to the shared car park, a generous bedroom with fitted wardrobe, and a bathroom with bath and shower attachment. A landing storage cupboard and a desk nook provide useful home-working space. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical for remote working.
Important to note: the house requires sympathetic refurbishment throughout. Cosmetic and possible systems updating will be needed to modernise finishes and services; this is reflected in the asking price and presents refurbishment potential for personalisation or investment resale. The plot is small and internal space is compact, so buyers should expect limited storage and living area compared with larger houses.
Cottenham is a well-served village with good schools, shops, healthcare and recreational facilities, and convenient road and rail links to Cambridge and the A14. With very low local crime and an affluent neighbourhood, this property is best suited to first-time buyers wanting a practical, affordable starter home or investors seeking a renovation project close to commuter routes.
