This Victorian end-of-terrace house on Ross Street offers a practical and well-located three-bedroom layout in Romsey Town, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation or straightforward updating. The property retains period character externally, with double-glazed windows and a gas boiler supplying radiators throughout. At about 835 sq ft (approx. 77.6 m²) the accommodation is compact but arranged over two storeys with a sitting room, dining room, fitted kitchen and a single bathroom.
The rear garden faces north-west and is privately enclosed with a paved terrace, lawn, shed and an unusual historic air-raid shelter. A narrow side passage provides separate access to the garden. The house benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and is a short walk from Mill Road amenities, good local schools and Cambridge rail links to London and the city centre.
Buyers should note a few practical points: walls are original solid brick (insulation not evident), the property has one bathroom, and the plot is small compared with suburban standards. Local crime is above average for the area, and internal finishes appear modest — the house is well suited to buyers seeking a period home to modernise incrementally rather than someone looking for a fully refurbished turnkey property.
This home will suit first-time buyers or couples who value proximity to city amenities, or small families wanting central Cambridge living with scope to add value through sympathetic upgrading. Chain-free ownership and a freehold title simplify purchase, and the property’s layout and location provide clear potential for improvement while keeping living costs reasonable (mains gas heating, Council Tax band C).
