Description
This 1940s home is UPVC double-glazed and has gas-fired central heating throughout. The property is in need of some modernisation in areas, yet offers exciting scope to extend and improve, subject to the necessary consents. The property is being sold for probate purposes and is available with no onward chain.
The accommodation briefly comprises a living room, which benefits from westerly aspects and has an electric fireplace. The kitchen / breakfast room has been fitted with a matching range of base and eye-level units and has a number of integrated appliances. A side door leads to the private rear garden.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, all including built-in storage areas. The shower room has been fitted with a white suite comprising a low-level W.C. with concealed cistern, wash hand basin with storage below and a walk-in corner shower.
The most noteworthy feature of this property is the sizeable corner plot it is situated on. There is a large front and side garden, which are laid predominantly to lawn and part bordered with a picket fence. To the right-hand side of the front garden there is a driveway providing off road parking.
The rear garden has a useful brick-built store room and an outdoor W.C. The remainder of the garden is paved and laid to lawn. There is a raised sleeper pond and a number of shrub borders, the whole is enclosed by fencing.
Location - 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 Coldham's Common beyond.
There is primary schooling at The Galfrid School, 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, 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.
