Set at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in Newmarket, this modern three-bedroom semi delivers practical family living with low maintenance outdoor space. The bright lounge/diner opens via sliding doors to a private, sunny rear garden and paved patio—ideal for weekend entertaining. A driveway provides off-street parking for up to three vehicles, rare for homes of this size in the area.
Internally the layout is compact across about 709 sq ft: a fitted kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and three upstairs bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an ensuite. Rooms are well presented with double glazing and gas central heating; storage includes an airing cupboard and built-in wardrobes in the master. The house was constructed in the early 2000s and requires no immediate structural work noted.
Important practical points: the property is small and bedrooms are modest in size, so it best suits a small family, couple or first-time buyer rather than those wanting large reception spaces. There is planning potential to extend (subject to planning permission), which could create extra living space but would incur cost and time. Overall, this is a well-located, low-maintenance home offering immediate usability and scope to add value with carefully planned improvements.
