Situated on the highly sought after Cambridge Road, this substantial three/four bedroom semi-detached mock Tudor property offers a superb blend of immediate comfort and extraordinary future potential. Boasting approximately 1,688 square feet of main living space alongside an attached garage and a highly versatile separate annexe, this home is perfectly configured for modern family living. Notably, this property presents a significant opportunity for further development and value enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions. A clear precedent for substantial expansion has already been established on Cambridge Road; the adjoining property has successfully executed a comprehensive dormer loft conversion, demonstrating the potential to considerably increase the top floor footprint. Furthermore, numerous residences along this stretch have undertaken extensive double storey rear and side extensions, presenting prospective buyers with the ultimate blank canvas to create a truly spectacular, bespoke forever home.
Step Inside:
Upon entering, the ground floor presents a thoughtfully designed flow of reception spaces. To the front, a bright and inviting living room features a large bay window fitted with elegant plantation shutters and a charming focal fireplace. Moving to the rear, the property opens into a vast, extended open plan family, dining, and sitting area. This space is bathed in natural light, with French doors leading directly out to the expansive rear garden. The modern, galley style kitchen is beautifully appointed with sleek white gloss cabinetry, grey metro brick splashbacks, integrated appliances, and a skylight that enhances the sense of space and light. The ground floor is completed by a convenient downstairs cloakroom, a dedicated office and utility room, and internal access to the garage. Arranged over the upper floor are three generous bedrooms. The first floor hosts two spacious double bedrooms, a versatile third bedroom, a well appointed family bathroom, and a separate WC. The second floor reveals a well proportioned loft room, offering a private retreat at the top of the house.
Step Outside:
The property is set well back from the road, offering an extensive block paved driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, leading directly to the attached garage. To the rear, the garden is a remarkable feature of the home, providing the generous proportions necessary to accommodate the aforementioned expansion potential without compromising on outdoor lifestyle. This exceptionally deep, sprawling plot is primarily laid to lawn, offering abundant space for family recreation and landscape design. Conveniently situated just off the kitchen door, a standalone annexe measuring over sixteen feet in length serves as an ideal environment for a home office, private gymnasium, or creative studio, thoughtfully positioned so that it does not eat into the expansive garden space.
