Set well back from the road in a quiet, near‑central Cherry Hinton position, this 1965 detached house offers a solid, heritage build with immediate curb appeal and practical outdoor space. The property is chain‑free and freehold, with an attached garage, driveway and a low‑maintenance rear garden that’s ideal for family life or easy upkeep. Its location under two miles from Addenbrooke’s and close to local shops, schools and good transport links adds clear commuter and convenience value.
Internally the layout is traditional and usable: a bay‑windowed living room, separate dining room opening to a conservatory, and a fitted kitchen on the ground floor; three bedrooms and a bathroom above. The home has been well cared for externally and is habitable as‑is, but it would benefit from sympathetic modernisation throughout to unlock greater market value and contemporary living standards. There is also scope to extend, subject to planning consents.
Practical details that matter: EPC C (71), council tax band D, mains gas central heating and double glazing installed. The property will suit a family seeking space in a well‑served village location, an owner‑occupier looking to modernise to their taste, or an investor targeting long‑term rental in a low‑crime, high‑demand part of Cambridge. Note the single bathroom and single garage may limit immediate capacity for larger families without alteration.
