Summary - 1 MILNER ROAD COMBERTON CAMBRIDGE CB23 7DE
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Corner-plot five-bed home with large garden and development potential.
Five bedrooms across three floors, including loft conversion
Set on a prominent corner plot in sought-after Comberton, this chain-free five-bedroom detached home sits on nearly 0.2 acres with a large private garden and generous frontage. The house offers flexible family living across three floors including a ground-floor study, spacious living/dining room with open fire, sunroom, and a loft conversion providing two additional bedrooms and a further bathroom. Off-street parking and an integral garage add practical convenience.
Built in the 1970s and finished with double glazing, the property is comfortable and liveable but shows its age in places. The EPC rating of E (52) and oil-fired central heating indicate running and upgrade costs that prospective buyers should factor in. The upper floor has some restricted head height and the layout would benefit from modernisation to maximise long-term value.
A major positive is the large plot and clear opportunities for further development — for example a studio or annexe subject to planning permission — which will appeal to families needing extra space or buyers seeking added value. Local amenities, excellent broadband, low crime and outstanding secondary schooling make this a practical location for families wanting village life with easy access to Cambridge.
Overall, this is a substantial family home in a desirable village setting, best suited to buyers prepared to modernise and possibly explore permitted development to unlock additional potential.
