This three-bedroom semi-detached house in sought-after Histon offers a practical, affordable entry into the Cambridge market. Set on a small plot, the property is freehold and benefits from off-road parking, a single garage and an easy-to-maintain rear garden — features that suit a busy first-time buyer or investor seeking straightforward rental potential.
The location is a major plus: exceptional primary schools within walking distance, good secondary options nearby and quick access to Cambridge and local rail links. The neighbourhood is affluent with very low crime levels and fast broadband, supporting both family life and home working.
The home has a traditional 1970s layout with a lounge, kitchen/diner and three bedrooms upstairs. The shower room has been recently updated, but the kitchen appears dated and would benefit from modernising. The property’s cavity walls are shown as original with no added insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor in likely energy-efficiency work.
Overall this is a compact, well-located house that delivers immediate usability and clear scope to add value through modest refurbishment and insulation improvements. It’s best suited to a first-time buyer seeking a practical home close to good schools, or an investor after a manageable rental property.
