Summary - Desmond Avenue, Cambridge, CB1 9JS CB1 9JS
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large south-facing garden and driveway close to schools and transport links.
Cul-de-sac location near Cherry Hinton amenities and schools
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Cambridge, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a generous south-facing garden and practical off-street parking for 2–3 cars. The ground floor flows from a front living room through to a dining area and kitchen, with French doors opening onto a long private garden that catches the sun. Double-glazed windows and a gas combi boiler provide basic energy efficiency and heating.
The property will suit families who need outdoor space and good local schools, and buyers looking for extension potential: there is scope to extend to the rear subject to planning permission, which could add living space and increase value. Inside, the house is comfortable but shows its post-war age in fittings and finishes; modest updating would modernise the kitchen, bathroom and some flooring.
Practical points to note: there is a single family bathroom, no garage, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. The loft is boarded with an integrated ladder and houses the boiler, offering useful storage but no guaranteed insulation upgrades. Overall this is an affordable freehold home in a well-served village location with clear potential for improvement and enlargement.
Viewing is recommended for families who prioritise outdoor space, schools and good transport links into Cambridge, or for buyers seeking a project with planning upside close to the city.
