5 bed detached house for sale

Shearling Drive, Lower Cambourne CB23

Viewings to commence 28th September. Call now to arrange to ensure you do not miss this one.

This substantial five-bedroom detached home offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a long-term family home to their own taste. Offering generous accommodation, multiple reception rooms, a double garage and a large rear garden, the property provides a fantastic amount of space but would now benefit from extensive modernisation and updating throughout.

The ground floor is arranged around a spacious entrance hall and offers three separate reception rooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family living, entertaining, working from home or creating additional dining and sitting areas. The main living room features a fireplace and opens through to a large conservatory, which in turn provides direct access to the rear garden.

The kitchen is generously proportioned and currently fitted with a range of traditional wooden units, a range-style cooker and space for dining. While functional in its current form, the room offers clear potential for refurbishment and could be transformed into an impressive modern kitchen and family space.

Upstairs, the property offers five good-sized bedrooms, with a mixture of built-in storage and ample natural light. The existing bathrooms and shower rooms provide useful facilities for a larger household, although, like the rest of the property, they would benefit from refurbishment to bring them in line with more contemporary tastes.

Outside, the property continues to offer considerable potential. To the front is a generous driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, together with access to a substantial double garage. Mature planting and established borders create an attractive frontage.

The rear garden is a particular feature, offering a generous amount of private outdoor space with mature trees, established planting. There is plenty of scope for buyers to redesign or landscape the garden to suit their own requirements.

While the property requires significant modernisation throughout, its size, layout, plot and parking make it an exciting opportunity for buyers looking for a home they can update and personalise over time. With substantial internal accommodation and excellent outside space, it provides a strong foundation for the creation of an impressive family home.
