A practical two-bedroom semi on the northern edge of Soham, this freehold home offers straightforward living with good parking and a generous rear garden. The layout suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an easy-to-manage property close to local schools, station links and commuter routes to Ely and Cambridge. The kitchen has modern fittings and the living room retains character with an exposed brick fireplace.
The house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and an average internal size of about 880 sq ft. Outside, there is driveway parking for several vehicles, a shared side drive, concrete patio and a lawned rear garden with shed — useful for families or tenants with outdoor needs. Broadband and mobile connectivity are adequate for remote working.
Notable practical considerations are the solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and an EPC rated D (62), so heating costs and insulation upgrades should be budgeted for. The property shows some signs of dated elements and would reward modest modernisation in places. Title is freehold and flood risk is low.
Overall this is a solid, affordable entry into the Soham market: comfortable now with clear potential to add value through insulation, cosmetic updating or targeted investment for rental yield.
