This four-bedroom mid-terrace on Acorn Avenue offers adaptable family living close to Cambridge. The ground floor layout includes a large lounge with sliding patio doors to a small rear garden, a separate dining room and a modern kitchen installed three years ago — practical for everyday family life and entertaining. A useful downstairs shower room and a fourth bedroom/study increase flexibility for home-working, guests or multi-generational use.
Recent mechanical and wet-room upgrades reduce immediate maintenance: a combi boiler was fitted a year ago and the family bathroom was replaced in July 2025. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are a notable convenience for a terraced house. The property is freehold, around 1,206 sq ft, and sits in a pleasant village setting with good shops, leisure facilities and fast commuter links to Cambridge via the A14 and guided busway.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks. The plot is small and the garden modest, so outdoor space is limited. The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s and external pebble-dash/brickwork reflects that era; the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated which could mean higher running costs unless insulation is added. The local recorded crime level is high; prospective purchasers should check current neighbourhood safety data and consider security measures.
Overall this is a practical, modernised family home in a well-served village, suited to families needing flexible space and commuters seeking quick access to Cambridge. It will particularly suit buyers who value recent functional upgrades and are comfortable investing modestly in energy improvements and cosmetic updates to personalise the house.
