Summary - 126, THORNTON ROAD, CAMBRIDGE, GIRTON CB3 0ND
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious plot with extension potential, close to Cambridge and chain-free.
Large rear garden with mature shrubs and lawn
Set on a broad plot under a mile from central Cambridge, this detached three-bedroom house offers clear family potential and scope to extend (STPP). The property sits on a large garden with mature shrubs, a garage plus adjoining workshop, and driveway parking — rare for its location. Layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen with utility, first-floor shower room and a usable loft room reached from a study/dressing area.
The house requires renovation throughout: original kitchen units remain and the property would benefit from updating to modern standards. The seller discloses a past subsidence incident caused by a nearby tree; the tree has been removed and repairs were completed under insurance without underpinning. Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves and may want structural reassurance or survey evidence.
Practical positives include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There's no onward chain, making it easier to proceed quickly. Council tax is noted as expensive, and there is only one bathroom serving three double bedrooms — factors to consider for family logistics.
This is a straightforward refurbishment project for a growing family or a buyer seeking to create a larger home close to Cambridge. With planning consent, the wide plot provides genuine extension potential to increase living space and resale value in a very affluent, well-connected suburb.
