This two-double-bedroom semi-detached house on Cambridge Gardens is a straightforward refurbishment project with clear upside for a buyer prepared to modernise. The property sits on a good-sized plot with a west-facing rear garden and a side driveway with space to add a garage — features that will appeal to families and purchasers seeking added value. It benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, so key services are already in place.
Internally the layout includes a through lounge/diner, kitchen/breakfast room, downstairs WC and two first-floor double bedrooms with a family bathroom. The house has been extended to the rear, giving a generous lounge/diner footprint, but most rooms need updating and the bathroom requires refitting. The solid brick construction (period 1900–1929) provides a robust base, though insulation is likely minimal and modern standards will require works.
Location is a genuine strength: within walking distance of St Neots town centre, mainline station and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. The property is offered with vacant possession and no chain, enabling a quick purchase and immediate start on improvements. Be mindful of the medium flood risk designation and an above-average local crime score — these are material factors to consider when budgeting for insurance and security improvements.
Overall this house suits buyers seeking a renovation to create a long-term family home or an investor aiming for capital uplift. The combination of off-street parking, large rear garden and convenient town access represents clear potential, provided the purchaser budgets for modernisation, insulation upgrades and possible flood mitigation.
