3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Glebe Road, Cambridge CB1

This 1930’s four bedroom semi-detached home is located on the highly sought-after Glebe Road, a peaceful residential street perfectly positioned for access to Cambridge city centre, Addenbrookes Hospital, the Biomedical Campus, and several high-ranked local schools and Colleges. Glebe Road is renowned for its family-friendly feel, characterful properties and superb transport links, making it one of the most desirable locations in the city.

Located just off Hills Road, the property is a 20-minute walk or a short cycle to Cambridge Station and a 35-minute walk to the city centre. There is easy access to the M11 for London and the North.

The area is well supplied with restaurants, pubs and shops. The leisure centre on Clifton Road is just a short walk away with a cinema complex and gym as well as The Junction arts venue for drama, music and comedy performances.

The house has been owned by the same family since 1971 and now requires substantial renovation. It offers significant scope for a buyer to modernise, extend, or reconfigure to create a remarkable home. It already measures around 1,391 sq ft, excluding the garage, and features a traditional layout with four bedrooms, three reception areas, and a delightful rear conservatory overlooking the south facing garden. A standout feature of this home is the generous rear garden. Owing to the size of the plot and arrangement of the house, there is excellent potential to extend (subject to planning permission), as many neighbouring properties have already done. To the front, the property has a garden and driveway providing ample off-street parking.

Note, there is sizeable area of adjacent land available by separate negotiation, allowing for future development or maybe a tennis court and pool!

Whilst there is some cost and work involved at the start, the location and potential of this property in the world-famous city of Cambridge makes it very attractive.
