This five-bedroom detached house in Girton offers practical family living just outside Cambridge. The layout provides flexible reception space on the ground floor, a separate WC for guests and five bedrooms upstairs, including a smaller bedroom that works well as a home office or nursery. Solar panels and an EPC rating of C help with running costs.
Outside, the property sits on a large enclosed rear garden with mature trees, plus off-street parking and a garage — useful for storage or a workshop. Commuters will value the quick links to the A14 and M11 and easy access into the city; mobile signal and broadband speeds are reported as excellent and fast.
The house dates from the mid 20th century and has a generally solid specification (double glazing, cavity walls, gas central heating). However, parts of the interior will suit someone prepared to update: the kitchen has dated decor and signs of overcrowding, with potential mould that should be inspected. There is a single family bathroom serving all five bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger households.
Practical points: council tax is described as expensive, and while the property is freehold with no flooding risk, prospective buyers should factor potential refurbishment and energy-improvement works despite the presence of solar panels. Overall, this is a spacious family home in a popular village location with strong schooling and transport links, best suited to buyers seeking a commuter-friendly property with renovation potential.
