2 bed detached house for sale

Herbert Street, Cambridge CB4

A rare opportunity to acquire a detached period property within this highly sought after central Cambridge location, the property was formally two apartments but could be reconverted into a family home and offers substantial scope for improvement, modernisation and potential enlargement, subject to the necessary consents. Occupying a detached plot along Herbert Street, the property retains attractive period features including sash windows and original fireplaces, whilst providing private rear garden, side access and exceptionally exciting potential, with detached homes of this nature and position becoming increasingly difficult to find within such close proximity to Cambridge city centre and its surrounding amenities.
