Summary - 48 ORCHARD ROAD MELBOURN ROYSTON SG8 6BP
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Two-bedroom renovation opportunity close to village amenities and good transport links.
Generous corner plot with substantial frontage and private rear garden
Set on a generous corner plot in sought-after Melbourn, this 2-bedroom semi-detached chalet offers clear scope for improvement and expansion (STPP). The house provides comfortable living space across ground and first floors, with two reception rooms, a large kitchen and a private, landscaped rear garden with a single garage and off-street parking. South Cambridgeshire village amenities are an easy walk away, and local transport links put Royston and Cambridge within easy reach.
The property is best suited to buyers looking to renovate and personalise: the kitchen needs modernisation and the ground-floor bathroom requires a full refurbishment. The building dates from the early 20th century and is solid-brick construction; wall insulation is assumed to be absent, so buyers should factor potential insulation and energy-efficiency work into budgets. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators and windows are double glazed (install date unknown).
Positive value drivers include the large plot with substantial frontage, off-street parking and a garage, plus scope to extend subject to planning permission. The location in an affluent, low-flood-risk village with good schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal adds everyday convenience and long-term appeal. EPC rating D and the need for renovation are the main drawbacks; buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and possible improvement to insulation and services.
