This Victorian end-of-terrace offers a compact, characterful two-bedroom layout on Chesterton High Street, presented chain free on a freehold title. At about 679 sq ft the house retains period details including sash-style windows and two reception rooms, with functional gas boiler heating and double glazing installed. The property will suit a buyer wanting a sympathetic refurbishment rather than a turnkey home.
The standout external asset is the long rear garden — approximately 118ft — rare for this property type and offering scope for landscaping, garden rooms, or a rear/loft extension subject to planning. Internally the accommodation is straightforward: sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom and first-floor bathroom; storage includes understairs cupboards and a loft with access.
Material points to be aware of: the house needs modernisation throughout and likely insulation upgrades (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated). Cosmetic and systems works may be required to bring it to current standards despite the working boiler and double glazing. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average, and the plot is narrow at the side, with on-street parking only.
Location is a strong selling point — East Chesterton provides excellent commuter links (Chisholm Trail, Cambridge North station), good local amenities and a cluster of well-rated schools close by. The property will appeal to first-time buyers seeking long-term value, small families wanting outdoor space, or investors targeting rental demand in a well-connected Cambridge suburb.
