Summary - Cottenham Road, Histon, CB24 CB24 9ET
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Prime Histon spot near top schools and Cambridge links.
Three double/single bedrooms with family bathroom and separate WC
Set in sought-after Histon, this three-bedroom detached house offers substantial scope for renovation and extension (subject to planning). The layout includes a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, kitchen with pantry and lean-to, plus versatile ground-floor spaces: an office, shower room, workshop and garage — useful for adaptable family or home-working arrangements.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed, and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. EPC rated D and the house dates from 1930–1949, so buyers should budget for energy improvements, potential rewiring and other fabric works. There is a medium flood risk and council tax is high; these are important practical considerations.
Outside, a private driveway, single garage and a mature rear garden provide generous outdoor space and parking. Location is a key strength — excellent local primary and secondary schools, village amenities and direct routes into Cambridge make this appealing to families wanting to personalise a long-term home close to the city.
This is a large, freehold detached property for buyers who want space and character and are prepared to invest in refurbishment to achieve modern comfort, efficiency and style.
