This much-improved Victorian terrace offers a ready-to-move-in home for a small family or city professionals. The house retains genuine period character — stripped wooden floors, fireplaces and sash-style double glazing — while recent works to the kitchen and bathroom present a contemporary, practical layout. The property is sold freehold and chain free.
A long southwesterly rear garden is a standout asset: lawn, fruit trees, vegetable beds, pergola seating and a rear gravel driveway providing off-street parking for one car. The living/dining room is dual-aspect with a wood-burning stove, and the shaker-style kitchen opens directly to the garden, creating easy indoor-outdoor flow for family life and entertaining.
Practical points: the home is compact with two double bedrooms and a single ground-floor bathroom. Construction is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, so buyers prioritising thermal performance may want to budget for insulation works. The terrace benefits from mains gas central heating to radiators and double-glazed sash windows fitted in the last two decades.
Location is a strong selling point — a traffic-free setting off Cherry Hinton High Street with local shops, schools and good commuter links to Addenbrooke’s, the railway station and the city centre. There is clear scope to extend or adapt (subject to planning) for buyers wanting extra space or future value-add.
