A well-situated Edwardian semi in Histon, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The house delivers comfortable family accommodation across two floors: a large triple-aspect living/dining room with fireplace, a replaced kitchen with utility and cloakroom, and three good-sized bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. Recent decoration, double glazing and gas central heating make the house comfortable now.
Outside, the property benefits from a long rear garden, a covered carport and off-street parking for a small car. The picket-fenced front garden and period brickwork retain attractive character, while the plot size offers scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to consents). Local facilities, excellent primary and secondary schools and convenient links to Cambridge and the A14 are strong location advantages for families.
Notable practical points: the property dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades. Flooding risk is assessed as medium in the area. There is one bathroom only, and parking space at the rear is limited to a small car. Council tax is described as affordable and the tenure is freehold.
Overall this is a characterful, family-sized home in a popular village location, appealing to buyers who want immediate move-in readiness with straightforward potential to improve energy performance and adapt the layout over time.
