2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Foster Road, Trumpington CB2

Foster Road is an established two-bedroom semi-detached house in Trumpington, set on a notably larger than average plot with a large landscaped rear garden and a range of useful outbuildings. The overall offering will appeal to buyers who value outside space and versatility alongside a charming and well-balanced interior.

The ground floor is entered through a central entrance hall with stairs leading up to the first floor and space for practical storage underneath. From here, the home opens to an open plan living/dining room extending to over 22 ft. This is a practical, adaptable space with clearly defined areas for both living and dining, with French doors opening directly onto the covered terrace and back garden, which helps extend the usable living space in warmer months. The kitchen has been reconfigured to improve its usability, now providing a more generous working area with a good range of units, space for appliances and a breakfast bar.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both of comfortable proportions and built in wardrobes, along with a refitted bathroom featuring a clean, modern suite with concealed cistern WC and bath with shower over. The layout is efficient and easy to live with, making the house suitable for a range of buyers, including those needing occasional workspace at home.

Outside is where the property distinguishes itself. The rear garden extends to approximately 22 metres (72 ft) and has been arranged to provide a series of usable areas rather than a single open lawn. Immediately to the rear is a covered terrace, creating a sheltered seating space, beyond which the garden opens out with lawn, wildflower planting, a pergola and a substantial summer house. There is also a converted outbuilding now used as a fully fitted external shower room, along with a separate utility/wash area.

The property has a generous pitch in the roof space, providing excellent storage and giving the opportunity to add a loft conversion (STPP). There are further opportunities for expansion, evidenced by neighbouring houses where you can see single storey and double storey extensions

To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the attached garage, which offers further storage and practical space, with additional access along the side of the house. Further opportunities for expansion, evidenced by neighbouring houses where you can see single storey and double storey extensions.

Trumpington is a thriving, fast growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk. The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all and construction for its station, Cambridge South, is now underway with expected completion in 2026.

The area has three primary schools and a state-of-the-art secondary school with excellent sporting facilities that are available to the community outside school hours. Many of the city's finest private schools are also within easy cycling distance. There are various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, a barber, gp surgery, a pharmacy, a library, a performance space and a community centre. There is a major Waitrose supermarket and two smaller Sainsbury's.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester and there is a second country park and wildlife reserve between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus. Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester. You very much feel part of the city in Trumpington but also right on the doorstep of the countryside.

For buyers looking for a manageable house with a genuinely useful garden and additional external space that broadens how the property can be used, this is a considered and well-rounded option.
