About
Situated on the popular Coldhams Lane, this substantial semi-detached property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a complete renovation project in a prime Cambridge location.
The property is currently configured as a four-bedroom house, with the original living room repurposed as an additional bedroom, offering flexible accommodation across two floors.
Internally, the home provides well-proportioned rooms throughout, including a generous kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, integral garage, and family bathroom.
While the property now requires full modernisation, it presents immense potential to reconfigure, refurbish and extend (subject to planning permission), allowing buyers to significantly enhance both layout and value.
One of the standout features is the extensively large rear garden, offering excellent outdoor space rarely found in such a central location.
This further enhances the property’s appeal for families and future development.
Located within easy reach of Cambridge city centre, local amenities, schools, transport links and business parks, the property offers strong long-term appeal for both owner-occupiers and investors.
Entrance Accessed via the front door into a practical entrance hall providing access to the ground floor rooms and staircase to the first floor.
Living Room (3.46 m x 3.64 m (11'4" x 11'11")) Located to the front of the property, this is a generously sized room with excellent natural light.

Kitchen / Dining Room (4.34 m x 3.60 m (14'3" x 11'10")) A well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room positioned to the rear of the property.
Offers excellent scope to redesign into a modern open-plan kitchen/dining space with views over the garden.

Second Bedroom (2.87 m x 4.08 m (9'5" x 13'5")) Another good-sized double bedroom, ideal for family use or guest accommodation.
