Set on a generous plot in a well-regarded Cambridge neighbourhood, this seven-bedroom detached home offers rare space and scope for a large or multi-generational family. The property is chain-free, has off-street parking and two garages, and sits within easy reach of Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge station and several highly rated schools.
The house requires full modernisation throughout, so it will suit buyers prepared to invest in renovation to unlock its potential. Internal layout includes three reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom, six further bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms — a flexible footprint that could be reconfigured to create en suites or an open-plan kitchen/dining space.
Practical details: the property is freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing, an EPC rating of D and cavity walls likely without added insulation. Council tax is described as expensive and the area records higher local crime levels, both important factors to budget for when considering this purchase.
Viewed as a renovation project, the house offers clear value in its size, location and plot. Buyers seeking immediate move-in will face substantial updating; those seeking space to extend or replan will find a solid mid-20th-century structure with good scope to create a modern family home in a prime Cambridge location.
