This Victorian end-of-terrace in central Cambridge combines period character with recent practical upgrades. Since 2022 the house has been newly renovated: new windows, carpets and a fully refurbished, damp-proofed basement now used as a family/entertainment room. The property is freehold and benefits from granted planning permission for a spacious ground-floor extension and a one-metre second-floor extension, offering clear scope to increase living space and value.
Occupying a corner plot, the home has a thoughtfully landscaped rear garden with gated pedestrian and vehicular access, off-road parking and a double garage. The rear garden includes lawn and patio areas, mature planting, two sheds and external power, light and water — useful for family life, hobbies or home working. The entrance hall leads to an open-plan living and dining area with dual-aspect light, a modern kitchen and a useful utility area with direct garden access.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), a family bathroom and separate WC. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing was replaced before 2002. The property’s walls are original solid brick and are assumed uninsulated, and the EPC is rated D — practical considerations if you prioritise low running costs or future energy-efficiency works.
This location is strongly positioned for city-centre living: Mill Road’s independent shops, cafes and restaurants are close by, and local schools and major employers around Cambridge add convenience and long-term demand. Note the local area records higher-than-average crime levels, which should be weighed against the home’s central position, parking and garage facilities when considering purchase or rental potential.
