This cleverly extended three-bedroom detached house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a generous corner plot, making it a practical family home with off-street parking and a detached garage. Internally the layout feels deceptive for its footprint: living and dining rooms are generous, the dining room has a vaulted section and French doors to the garden, and the kitchen has been refitted with integrated appliances. The rear garden faces south‑west and is low‑maintenance with artificial grass and a paved seating area — well suited to young children or busy households.
The property is compact overall (approximately 591 sq ft listed) but makes good use of space across two storeys. Construction dates from the 1980s, the house has double glazing (post‑2002), gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of C. Practical benefits include a cloakroom/WC on the ground floor, an airing cupboard, attic access and a driveway beside the detached garage with power and lighting.
Important points for buyers: the home sits in a transitional local area and the wider area classification notes an Eastern European community presence. The location has a medium flood risk and the broader area shows indicators of deprivation — factors to weigh when considering long‑term value and insurance costs. There is a single family bathroom only, and the overall floor area is modest for a three‑bed property; buyers seeking more internal space may want to inspect and consider adaptations or extensions subject to planning.
In short, this tidy detached house will appeal to families seeking a ready‑to‑live‑in, low‑maintenance suburban home in Newmarket with good commuter links to Cambridge. It offers immediate convenience and usable outdoor space, while buyers should budget for insurance and any desired internal enlargement due to the property’s compact size and local factors.
