Private rear garden with summerhouse, shed and veg plot

Occupying a generous corner plot in popular Histon, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a practical, move-in-ready base for first-time buyers or young families. The property benefits from off-street parking for two cars, a private rear garden with useful outbuildings, and a modern compact kitchen — ready for everyday family life.
Internally the house provides sensible accommodation over two floors: living room, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and three first-floor bedrooms (master with fitted wardrobes). At about 750 sq ft (69 sqm) the footprint is modest, so the layout suits those seeking low-maintenance living rather than expansive living space. The boiler-fired central heating and double glazing (installed post-2002) provide comfortable year-round heating.
There is clear scope to add value: the sizable corner plot offers potential to extend, subject to planning consent, and cosmetic updates or targeted energy-efficiency works could improve comfort and running costs (the property has solid-brick walls, likely without wall insulation). Buyers should note the single bathroom and EPC rating of D/66 when weighing future improvement costs.
Location is a strong selling point. Histon is well served for schools (several rated Good–Outstanding), fast road links to the A14/M11, and public transport into Cambridge and the Science Park. For buyers seeking a compact, well-located freehold with extension potential, this property merits an internal viewing.
