Woodlands Park, Girton, CB3

This charming 1930s semi-detached home retains the character and period appeal of its era, complemented by a ground floor rear extension that provides spacious and versatile living accommodation. Well-maintained but now in need of modernisation, it offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner to create a home tailored to their taste and add value in the process. Occupying a desirable position, the property enjoys a wide and welcoming frontage with ample driveway parking. Inside, the entrance hall with parquet flooring leads to a bright living room with a large bay window. Both reception rooms benefit from open fireplaces. To the rear, the sitting/dining room enjoys views over the garden, while the kitchen/breakfast room provides an ideal space for family life, with room for a dining table, generous storage, and direct access to the garden through the utility. A ground-floor bathroom completes the layout. Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. Externally, the property is set well back from the road behind mature front gardens, with a driveway leading to the garage. The rear garden is of impressive proportions, featuring a private patio and expansive lawn, perfect for outdoor entertaining or family activities. The property is also offered with no onward chain.
