Summary - 12A CAVENDISH AVENUE CAMBRIDGE CB1 7US
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large detached house with garden, garage studio and excellent commuter links..
Edwardian detached home with period features and vaulted stairwell
This Edwardian detached house on Cavendish Avenue blends generous family living with period character. Four well-proportioned bedrooms and three reception rooms provide flexible space for children, home working and entertaining. The living room and family room each have working fireplaces; large windows and an exposed vaulted stairwell add natural light and charm.
Outside, a large southwest-facing garden with mature trees, lawn, pond and summer house creates private outdoor space for family life. A detached double garage with lighting, power and water and a first-floor studio offers obvious annexe or home-office potential — subject to planning consent for separate use. Long private driveway and cobble-styled hardstanding provide parking for multiple vehicles.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low flood risk. The house sits close to Cambridge city centre, good schools and commuter rail links to London (about 50 minutes), making it well placed for working families and professionals.
Considerations: parts of the interior show dated decor and will benefit from updating; the property is described as a fixer-upper in areas. Council tax is quite expensive and local recorded crime is above average for the area. Planning consent would be required to use the garage studio as a separate annexe.
