Set on a generous plot in a quiet south Cambridge street, this extended 1959 semi-detached house offers flexible five-bedroom accommodation ideal for growing families or professionals working at Addenbrooke’s. The ground floor layout includes a large living/dining room, conservatory, fitted kitchen with utility and snug, plus two ground-floor bedrooms that work well for guests or a home office. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and useful eaves storage. An attached garage and driveway provide practical parking.
The plot and room proportions are strong selling points: a substantial rear garden with mature planting and fruit trees, a front lawn with driveway and the potential to extend or re-landscape (subject to planning). The location is convenient for Addenbrooke’s, the Biomedical Campus, local schools (including highly regarded state and independent options), parks and regular public transport to the city and mainline station, making commuting straightforward.
The house requires modernisation throughout. Decorative and thermal upgrades are needed to bring living spaces up to contemporary standards; the EPC rating is D (65). Buyers should budget for refurbishment works rather than a purely move-in-ready transaction. The property is offered chain free, which supports a quicker exchange for buyers prepared to invest.
A few practical facts to weigh: the area records higher-than-average local crime statistics, and as a mid-century house some services and finishes show age-related wear. Against that, the freehold tenure, substantial internal space (c.1,895 sqft) and generous plot in a sought-after south Cambridge location present a genuine value opportunity for families or investors prepared to update and personalise the home.
