Summary - 148 PERNE ROAD CAMBRIDGE CB1 3NX
4 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free 1930s semi with garden studio, parking and excellent access to the Biomedical Campus.
Four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across 1,578 sqft plus studio
A spacious, versatile 1930s semi‑detached family home with a generous rear garden, separate studio with shower, and off‑street parking — offered chain free. The house provides flexible living across three reception rooms and four bedrooms, suiting families who need separate formal and informal spaces or those seeking a home office and guest accommodation.
Period details include bay windows, stained‑glass panels and an Arts & Crafts feel in the sitting room, while the extended footprint and kitchen with quartz worktops and island add practical modern convenience. The garden studio with its own shower room is well suited for short‑stay guests, an au pair, or a work-from-home setup.
Practical points to note: the property dates from the 1930s and has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so prospective buyers should consider thermal upgrading and potential cosmetic updating to maximise comfort and efficiency. Council tax is above average. The EPC is C (71), and broadband and mobile signal are strong — a useful balance of period charm and reasonable energy performance.
Location is a key strength: about 1.6 miles from the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and just over a mile from Cambridge Station, with local shops, parks and well‑rated schools nearby. The large plot, driveway parking and no onward chain make this a straightforward purchase for families seeking space close to central Cambridge.
