Renovated four-bedroom detached near Soham station — extension potential.
Double-fronted Victorian detached with high ceilings and character features
A handsome double-fronted Victorian detached house, recently renovated to combine period charm with contemporary living. High ceilings, bay windows and original detail sit alongside a high-spec kitchen/breakfast room, utility and modern shower rooms — ready for immediate family occupation.
Spacious living is arranged over two floors: separate living and dining rooms, a generous kitchen with island and bi-fold doors to the rear garden, plus four double bedrooms including a principal with en-suite and roof lantern. The rear garden, composite decking and patio create a private outdoor room for children and entertaining. A garage and private driveway provide useful storage and off-street parking.
Practical positives include planning permission for an extension and consent to convert the garage into a gym or home office — useful for families needing more space or a home workspace. The property is freehold, close to the re-opened Soham station with regular services to Cambridge, and within the catchment of Soham Village College (Outstanding).
Notable drawbacks are factual: the home has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls that are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may mean higher heating costs or future insulation work. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high; buyers should factor this into parking, security and insurance decisions. Council tax is moderate. Overall, this is a well-presented family home with scope to extend and adapt, balanced by some energy and local-safety considerations.
