Charming Cottage-Style Home in the Heart of Cherry Hinton – Fishers Lane, Cambridge

Nestled within a quiet and established residential setting in the ever-popular village suburb of Cherry Hinton, this delightful two-bedroom semi-detached cottage-style home offers character, practicality and exciting future potential. Available with no onward chain, the property presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike.

The accommodation is both welcoming and well-proportioned, with a comfortable living room overlooking the front garden and a separate dining room providing an ideal space for entertaining family and friends. The fitted kitchen offers a range of storage units and enjoys access to the side of the property and rear garden.

Upstairs, there are two well-sized bedrooms. The property further benefits from gas central heating, double glazed windows and doors, and a pleasant outlook from both front and rear aspects.

Outside, the home enjoys gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn with established flower and shrub borders, complemented by a patio seating area and useful brick-built shed. For those seeking to enhance and personalise the property, there is potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions). In addition, the current owner successfully obtained approval from Cambridgeshire County Council Highways Department for a dropped kerb, offering future scope for off-road parking.

With approximately 556 sq ft of accommodation and further potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions), this charming cottage presents an excellent opportunity to create a wonderful long-term home in one of Cambridge's most sought-after residential locations.

Additional Development Potential

Planning permission has been granted (and remains valid) for a substantial extension and reconfiguration of the property. The approved plans include a part two-storey, part single-storey side and rear extension together with a front porch extension. Once completed, the property would be transformed into a spacious three-bedroom home, featuring a master bedroom with en-suite facilities, while also allowing for a complete remodelling of the ground floor layout, including the bathroom, kitchen and living areas. This offers an excellent opportunity for purchasers to significantly increase both the living space and value of the property, subject to the existing planning consent for 12 Fishers Lane.*
