Summary - Princes Close, Balsham, Cambridge CB21 4EE
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three-bed village home with big garden, garage and scope to extend — in a peaceful cul‑de‑sac..
Large secluded plot backing onto village allotments
Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in Balsham, this three‑bed semi offers a rare combination of large plot size and countryside outlook, backing directly onto village allotments. The house retains mid‑20th century character and provides a practical layout with a living room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility and a useful pantry — all arranged across an average-sized footprint of about 1,094 sq ft.
The extensive rear garden, generous driveway, courtyard parking and detached timber garage are standout assets for families or buyers wanting space for cars, storage or a workshop. There is clear scope to enlarge or modernise the house sympathetically (subject to planning), which could significantly increase living space and value given the plot size and village location.
Buyers should note practical downsides: heating relies on oil‑fired boiler and electric night‑storage heaters, which are less efficient than mains gas systems; broadband speeds are slow; and there is a single shower room. The property also needs updating in places rather than being move‑in modern, although double glazing is fitted and the brick cavity walls are insulated.
Well served by good local schools and set in a very low‑crime, affluent rural area, this freehold home will suit growing families, buyers seeking room to extend, or those wanting a countryside lifestyle close to Cambridge. The combination of plot, parking and location creates clear potential — but budget for modernisation and consider heating/broadband upgrades when viewing.
