Characterful two-bed end-terrace needing renovation, strong central Cambridge location.
Victorian bay-fronted end-terrace with period features
A Victorian two-bedroom end-of-terrace on Mill Road offering scope for uplift or rental income. The bay-fronted façade, high ceilings and period features provide strong character; layout includes lounge, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and two bathrooms. At 964 sq ft with a low-maintenance rear garden and rear access, the property suits buyers targeting refurbishment value or conversion for multiple occupants.
The house requires renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely energy-efficiency upgrades are needed (solid brick walls with no assumed insulation). EPC D and older services mean improvement work will be necessary; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. On-street parking only, with drop-kerb access to the rear garden for bikes or limited vehicle manoeuvres.
Location is a major asset: central Cambridge (CB1) close to restaurants, shops and public transport on Mill Road, and within reach of major employers, university colleges and Addenbrookes Hospital. Good local schools and a cosmopolitan, student-professional neighbourhood support rental demand. Note the area records higher crime levels than average; buyers should consider security and insurance costs.
This freehold, traditional layout home will appeal to investors seeking refurbishment and rental upside or buyers wanting a character home to modernise. Budget for works to improve energy performance, internal finishes and possible mechanical/electrical upgrades to bring the property to contemporary standards.
