- Private rear garden with powered brick outbuilding

A versatile four-bedroom semi-detached home on Coldhams Lane offering immediate scope to add value. The property is chain free and freehold, with flexible accommodation across approximately 1,112 sq ft including potential for a fifth bedroom or home office.
The bright open-plan living/dining room and principal suite with en suite provide comfortable family living. A private rear garden, mature planting and a brick outbuilding with power extend usable space, while off-street parking and easy access to Addenbrooke’s and Cambridge city centre suit commuters.
The house requires modernisation throughout: cosmetic updates, some exterior repairs (roof and brickwork touch-ups noted), and improvement to thermal performance (solid brick walls likely uninsulated). These works present a clear opportunity for buyers to renovate and increase value but will need budget and project planning.
Location strengths include excellent transport links, proximity to Mill Road amenities, Sainsbury’s and the Beehive Centre, and local schools rated Good or Outstanding. Note the area has above-average crime statistics and the plot is small, so buyers should weigh upkeep and security considerations alongside the property’s potential.
