Summary - 119, COTTENHAM ROAD, CAMBRIDGE, HISTON CB24 9ET
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large long garden and garage offer clear scope for extension and modernisation.
Three double/single bedrooms with bay‑windowed sitting room and family dining room
Set back from the road in popular Histon, this three-bedroom semi‑detached home sits on a notably long rear garden and offers a comfortable, traditional layout for family living. The bay‑windowed sitting room and a light dining/family room with French doors create pleasant, flexible living space while the separate kitchen provides a practical start point for refurbishment. The house is chain‑free and benefits from driveway parking and a detached garage/store.
The property requires general updating throughout, so it will appeal to buyers looking to personalise and improve rather than move in straight away. Key mechanicals are in place: a replaced gas boiler, gas central heating and uPVC double glazing (installed before 2002). There is also planning potential to extend, subject to necessary permissions, which could increase accommodation and resale value.
Practical considerations are clear: the footprint is average and there is a single family bathroom on the first floor; internal rooms are modestly proportioned. The large 26–27m long rear garden is a major asset — excellent for children, gardening, or extension (subject to consent) — and the garage and shed add storage options. Council Tax Band C is noted for 2025.
Buyers should note the property’s renovation requirement and an assumed lack of cavity wall insulation. Flooding risk is described as medium, so buyers may wish to investigate insurance and local flood records. Overall this home offers a strong opportunity for a family seeking space and potential in a very well‑regarded village location close to Cambridge.
