This substantial Victorian terrace on Mill Road is a rare, chain-free opportunity for buyers who can invest time and budget to unlock its potential. Arranged over three floors with four bedrooms, four reception rooms and almost 2,500 sq ft, the layout is highly flexible — suitable for a large family, multi-room rental, or a conversion with a self-contained area thanks to two ground-floor entrances.
The house is in need of full modernisation: EPC G, electric room heaters, pre-2002 double glazing and assumed uninsulated cavity walls. There is an inaccessible cellar of unknown condition, and some systems will likely need replacement (heating, wiring, insulation). These realities make the property best suited to buyers prepared for renovation or developers seeking a value-add project.
Outside benefits include an enclosed rear garden with side access and on-street parking. The location is genuinely convenient: cosmopolitan Mill Road with shops, cafés, transport links, nearby schools and major employers. With refurbishment, the period features — high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and generous rooms — could be retained and enhanced to deliver strong city living or rental returns.
Buyers should factor in the cost and scope of works, plus the house’s city-centre setting and higher-than-average local crime levels, when assessing suitability. For those able to take on the project, this property offers scale, character and a central Cambridge address with considerable upside.
