[For refurbishment or further development (STPP)] - A rare opportunity to purchase this sizeable four bedroom detached house situated on an established, elevated plot measuring approximately 0.14ac in the heart of Cherry Hinton, in need of full modernisation and refurbishment throughout.
GROUNDFLOOR Part-glazed front door leads into a well-proportioned entrance hallway complete with fitted cupboard and access to a ground floor WC. A generously sized and welcoming sitting room is just-off the hallway to one side of the property, and a further sitting room is to the other side complete with a large brick built Inglenook-style fireplace with working stove, dual-aspect windows, and plenty of space for furniture. An archway leads through into a separate dining room which benefits from an opening for double doors to the rear garden (currently boarded up). The kitchen/breakfast room is a fantastic size and is also complete with dual-aspect windows, double doors to the outside, a range of units and worktops, appliances, and space for a breakfast table and chairs. A large utility room is found just-off the kitchen/breakfast room which is complete with units, worktops, sink, and single door to the garden.
FIRSTFLOOR Stairs lead to a fantastic size galleried landing complete with sizeable airing cupboard and loft access, and in-turn offers access to four bedrooms, an en-suite, plus family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double (4.84m x 3.92m) currently with a range of fitted wardrobes and storage units, plus dual-aspect windows. The en-suite bathroom is in excellent condition although requires some cosmetic upgrade, and currently consists of a jacuzzi-style corner bath, WC and basin. Bedrooms two and three are both generous double rooms (4.14m x 3.78m and 3.95m x 3.53m respectively), one of which offers further fitted storage plus a sink and vanity unit, and bedroom four which is also a bright and well-proportioned room (4.84m x 3.20m). The family bathroom is also in good condition although would benefit from some updating, and is complete with jacuzzi-style corner bath, separate shower enclosure, basin with vanity, and WC.
OUTSIDE The property sits in an established, elevated position on a plot measuring approximately 0.14ac complete with conifer trees to the west-side of the plot (facing the High Street) offering ample privacy, and with further established trees and planting to all other areas. Stone steps lead from the High Street up to the front elevation with a path leading to the pleasant side garden which benefits from a patio accessed from the Dining Room. The rear section of the plot is mature and leads round to a further set of concrete steps which leads down to the driveway and double garage. The driveway is laid to concrete and offers parking for two cars, accessed via Gladstone Way.
The double garage measures approximately 5.75m x 5.91m and is complete with a generous roof space in the eaves, up-and-over double door, various racking and shelving, lights and power. The gas boiler, gas and electric meters and consumer unit are also housed in the garage.
