4 bed detached house for sale

Highworth Avenue, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB4

Highworth Avenue is conveniently situated on the north side of the Cambridge city, around 1.5 miles from the centre itself and 1.25 miles south of both Cambridge Science Park and access to Cambridge North railway station. Nearby there are a range of shops and public transport links. The property is within the catchment area of Chesterton Community College and Milton Road Primary School. The river, Midsummer Common, city centre and many of the other facilities offered by the University can be accessed on foot or by bicycle.

This Substantial Edwardian semi detached family house of generous proportions enjoys a southerly facing plot and driveway parking. Whilst presented in good decorative order, the property requires some updating (a recent electrical upgrade to the ground floor has suggested that the first floor wiring would benefit from being renewed in time) and that this has been reflected in the advertised guide price for the property. The roof was replaced in 2012 and comes with a 20 year guarantee.

The property offers scope to be extended/re-modelled and comes to the market with no upward chain.
