This mid-terrace Victorian property sits on a sought-after York Street close to Mill Road and the city centre. The ground floor offers a stylish open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with modern fixtures, built-in appliances and natural light—good for entertaining or evening downtime. Two genuine double bedrooms upstairs are uncommon for terraces of this age and provide practical space for sharers or a small family. The home benefits from double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators, and a private rear garden for outdoor space. Its location is a major asset: essential shops, supermarkets and cafes are minutes away and Cambridge station is under a mile from the front door. Local schools include St Matthew’s and Parkside, both within easy reach. There are important practical factors to note. The building is solid-brick Victorian with no known cavity insulation, and the Energy Performance Certificate is band D — further insulation or energy works may be beneficial. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, and the garden and plot are small compared with suburban properties. Council tax is moderate. Overall this freehold terrace suits first-time buyers, commuters and investors seeking a characterful, well-located two-bed with good rental or owner-occupier potential, provided you accept some typical period-house trade-offs and possible energy-improvement costs.
