Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Melbourn, this detached two-bedroom chalet bungalow offers generous living space and a large plot ideal for downsizers or buyers seeking single-level living with uplift potential. The property is chain-free and freehold, with a sizable lounge/dining room, conservatory, garage and driveway. It sits within walking distance of local shops and village amenities.
The house has clear scope to add value: the vendor notes potential to extend (subject to planning permission). Interiors are spacious — the ground floor includes a reception room, kitchen, conservatory and a ground-floor bathroom, while the first floor features a particularly large main bedroom with an en-suite. The overall footprint is notably large at approximately 1,457 sq ft, giving room for reconfiguration.
Important to note: the property needs renovation and modernisation throughout, and will require an incoming buyer to budget for updating. Council tax is above average. Despite cosmetic and updating work, the large plot, garage, driveway and cul-de-sac location make this a practical purchase for someone looking to create a comfortable long-term home or to increase value through refurbishment.
The setting benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband, low flood risk and access to good local primary schools. For buyers seeking village life with easy links to Royston and Cambridge, this chalet presents a solid renovation project with strong potential once updated.
