Set well back from Babraham Road, this substantial 1930s detached home offers about 2,386 sq ft of adaptable living space and a rare half-acre west south‑west facing garden. The property includes a double garage, off‑road parking and generous reception rooms with a double‑aspect sitting room and separate study — good for families or professionals needing home workspace.
The house is chain free and presents clear scope for modernisation: the solid‑brick construction, double glazing and gas‑fired central heating provide a sound base, but the EPC rating of E and assumed lack of wall insulation indicate energy‑efficiency improvements are needed. Internal fittings and finishes are dated and the property is being sold requiring renovation throughout.
Location is a strength: roughly 0.5 miles from Addenbrooke’s and the Biomedical Campus, with regular buses and close proximity to schools including Queen Edith and The Perse, plus easy access to local shops and green spaces. This plot will particularly suit a family seeking outdoor space and scope to create a contemporary home, or an investor/developer prepared to upgrade to modern standards.
Buyers should note higher local crime statistics and that council tax is described as quite expensive. While the plot and layout offer substantial potential, budget realistically for insulation, energy upgrades and general refurbishment works before occupation.
