This deceptively spacious 1930s detached family home sits on Newmarket Road with excellent access to Cambridge city centre, Cambridge North Station and the A14. The house combines period character—bay windows and generous room proportions—with a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/living area that opens via bi-fold doors to a large deck and lawn. A detached studio, single garage with electric door and off-road parking for two add flexible space for work, hobbies or storage.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, including a large master and two doubles from a 2017 extension, plus a family bathroom and a loft with Velux windows offering clear potential for conversion subject to permissions. The property is presented in good decorative order throughout, with modern kitchen fittings, integrated appliances and useful utility room keeping everyday chores out of sight.
Be candid about energy and neighbourhood factors: the house has solid brick walls (original construction without assumed modern cavity insulation) and double glazing fitted before 2002, so further insulation and window upgrades will improve comfort and running costs. The wider area records above-average crime and high deprivation indices, so buyers should factor in local context when assessing long-term suitability.
Overall, the home will particularly suit growing families who need flexible indoor/outdoor space, commuting professionals seeking fast links to Cambridge, or buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in house with scope to improve energy efficiency and add value via a loft conversion.
