About
An established semi-detached home occupying a superb corner plot of approximately 0.10 acre, situated in a popular residential area just off Newmarket Road.
Offering extended accommodation in excess of 146 sqm (over 1,571 sqft), this spacious property provides an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a project to create a bespoke family home or HMO.
The property enjoys generous gardens surrounding the house, along with valuable off-street parking.
Internally, the house is in need of complete modernisation and refitting, but offers well-proportioned rooms and flexible space across two floors, ideal for reconfiguration or further extension, including a loft conversion, (subject to planning).
This is a rare chance to acquire a substantial home on a prime corner plot with great potential, within easy reach of local amenities, well-regarded schools, and Cambridge city centre.
The Abbey area of the city is a very convenient and thriving place to live, with major retail parks, supermarkets and leisure facilities within walking distance on Newmarket Road.
It is just a couple of miles from the historic city centre and close to the pleasant riverside open space of Stourbridge Common.
The Abbey public swimming pool, gym and leisure centre is just off Whitehill Road with Coldhams Common beyond.
There is primary schooling at The Galfrid Academy, which feeds into Coleridge Community College, both of which are part of The Cambridge Academic Partnership.
It is equally convenient to get out of town, and the two railway stations, with a pleasant walk or cycle of about a mile leading to Fen Ditton with its traditional and riverside pubs and Junction 34 of the A14 within 2 miles.
