Summary - 13 MATTHEW PARKER CLOSE LANDBEACH CAMBRIDGE CB25 9FB
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-storey home with large garden and renovation potential.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a large corner plot
This detached two-bedroom bungalow sits on a generous corner plot in a quiet village setting, offering single-storey living with sizeable gardens and a detached garage. The present layout — adapted from an original three-bedroom plan — includes a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room overlooking the rear garden, utility, and a large bathroom. Its scale (about 1,066 sq ft) gives comfortable space without the upkeep of a larger house.
The property is best for buyers who want a ready-to-personalise home: it requires full modernisation throughout, with dated décor and probable fabric upgrades (cavity walls without fitted insulation assumed). Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but installation dates are unknown. EPC rating D signals scope to improve energy efficiency and running costs.
Practical highlights include driveway parking, a detached garage/workshop that could become a home office or studio, and a sunny private rear garden. The bungalow is chain free, freehold, and well placed for road and rail links (A10/A14 and Waterbeach station) while retaining village amenities and nearby good primary and secondary schools.
Important negatives: the house needs comprehensive renovation to modern standards — cosmetic and likely some fabric work — and there is no record of wall insulation. Buyers should allow a renovation budget and check for any required consents before structural changes. This is a clear opportunity for someone seeking a single-storey home to tailor to their needs in an affluent, rural-commuter location.
