About
The Perfect Start: Extended Family Living in a Prime Cul-De-Sac If you are looking for your first home or a future-proof family upgrade, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached house is a fantastic opportunity.
Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Newmarket, the property combines a peaceful setting with the convenience of being just a short stroll from the town centre, local shops, and both primary and secondary schools.
The current owners have invested heavily in the ”bones” of the building, including a full rewire, a new consumer unit, and the installation of modern digital electric heating.
While the home is decorated to a high standard throughout, the kitchen-diner offers an exciting ”blank canvas” for a new owner to modernise and create a truly stunning focal point for the home.
With a private driveway, a garage, and a secluded rear garden, this is a property that offers both immediate comfort and long-term potential.
Opportunities like this, in such a sought-after cul-de-sac location, are rare to the market.
To fully appreciate the space on offer and the potential to put your own stamp on this home, a viewing is highly recommended. Why wait?
