Medium flood risk and higher local crime levels — factor into decision
A compact Victorian end-of-terrace with period character, offered chain free and ready for a first purchase or buy-to-let. The house keeps original details such as exposed timber floors in the bedrooms and a decorative fireplace in the living room, while the fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom provide practical day-to-day living. The layout is efficient across two storeys: living room, kitchen, bathroom to the ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs.
Externally the property has a small, fully enclosed rear garden with a decked area and timber shed — low-maintenance and town-centre convenient. Newmarket town centre and the railway station are within easy reach; trains reach Cambridge in around 25 minutes, making this suitable for commuters seeking an affordable entry into the area. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong.
Important practical points: the overall footprint is small (approximately 47 sqm / 489 sq ft) and internal space is compact. The building is traditional solid-brick construction and may lack wall insulation; the EPC is D. There is a medium flooding risk flagged and local crime indicators are high, which should be considered alongside the attractive location close to amenities and racecourse attractions.
Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and the potential for sensible updating. Typical value-add opportunities include refreshing kitchen and bathroom finishes, reintroducing original floorboards, and improving insulation and energy efficiency to reduce running costs.
