Spacious and full of character, this five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage on Reach Road suits growing families seeking flexible living near Cambridge. Period features such as exposed stone and an exposed-brick fireplace sit alongside practical updates including solar panels that generate export payments and significantly reduce energy bills.
Set across three floors with three reception rooms, a study, utility and a ground-floor guest bedroom with en-suite, the layout adapts to modern family life. The converted loft offers two large rooms and eaves storage, presenting straightforward potential to create a principal bedroom with en-suite and walk-in wardrobes if required.
Externally the mature, sizeable garden with two sheds and a polytunnel will appeal to keen gardeners and families who want outdoor space. Off-road parking plus ample on-street parking make school runs and visitors easy. Local amenities and good primary schools, with Cambridge within commuting reach, strengthen the location for family buyers.
Buyers should note the house was constructed before 1900 and some fabric upgrades are advisable: external walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002. While the property is well-presented and energy-bolstered by solar panels, planned improvements (insulation, potential window upgrades) would improve comfort and efficiency further.
