Summary - 28 ABBEY ROAD CAMBRIDGE CB5 8HQ
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Central Cambridge five-bedroom with garden, parking and excellent school catchment.
Five bedrooms across three floors, approx. 1,654 sq ft of accommodation
A substantial five-bedroom residence arranged over three floors in central Cambridge, offering generous living space (approx. 1,654 sq ft) and a private rear garden with off-street parking. Period features such as a bay window, open fireplace and dormer windows combine with modern fittings in the kitchen/dining area and breakfast room for flexible family living. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the house sits within the Parkside Secondary catchment with excellent local amenities and green space nearby.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and scope to purchase a separate single garage to the rear (separate title). The layout supports multi-generational or rental use, with two attic bedrooms and useful storage/utility cupboards. Vehicular access and gated side drive add convenience for central-city parking.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property sits in a higher-crime local area and has only one bathroom for five bedrooms, which may require adaptation for larger families. The walls are original solid brick with no known internal insulation, so energy performance and running costs could be improved. Council tax is above average; some updating or refurbishment may be required in places given the age of the building (constructed before 1900).
This home will suit purchasers seeking a large, well-located family house or investors targeting strong rental demand near the university and city centre. There is clear scope to modernise services and insulation to improve comfort and reduce running costs, while retaining attractive period character and central convenience.
