Characterful 3-bed Victorian terrace with private garden and loft extension potential (STPP)..
Three bedrooms across 854 sq ft, private rear garden
A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace in Romsey Town, offering three bedrooms across 854 sq ft and a private, low-maintenance rear garden. The house has been recently refreshed: repainted throughout, fitted with new radiators, an updated fuse board and double glazing installed post-2002, so immediate day-to-day maintenance is reduced. The open-plan living and dining rooms retain original wood floors and an open fireplace that add period character to contemporary décor.
This home suits first-time buyers or young families seeking a central Cambridge location. It sits a mile from Cambridge Station and moments from the eclectic Mill Road shops, cafés and amenities. The plot is small and the rooms are compact to average in size, which keeps running costs down and makes the house easy to manage. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong — practical benefits for commuters and home workers.
There is scope to increase space: the loft could potentially be extended (subject to planning and building regulations). Buyers should note material limitations typical of properties of this age — solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the house has a single bathroom. The garden is private but compact and the plot offers limited scope for large extensions (STPP). Overall this is a comfortable, characterful Cambridge home with sensible recent updates and room for future improvement.
Important factual points: built around the turn of the 20th century, freehold tenure, EPC D (67), no flood risk, and average local crime levels. The property is in a cosmopolitan, student-and-professional neighbourhood with nearby parks and good schooling options.
