"An established semi with 31 m

(100 ft) rear garden and wonderful potential to improve and extend. Superbly located for Addenbrooke's, the M11 and the City.

The house stands nicely back from Shelford Road, close to its junction with The Brambles with a garage and driveway in front.

It has been in the same ownership since 1940 and is now ready for complete refurbishment so offers wonderful potential to create a fantastic City home. These houses are also excellent starting points for extensions.

The ground floor has a bay windowed sitting room with doors opening through to a separate dining room, both rooms have period picture rails and open fireplaces. The kitchen has a utility area and beyond this a ground floor WC. A porch has been added at the front that links the house to the garage and leads round to the side.

The first floor has three bedrooms, two doubles and, unlike many houses of this age, a decent single, plus the bathroom.

The house is about 16 m

(50 ft) back from the road with a gravel driveway and single garage. The rear garden is very private with mature hedges and is about 31 m x 7 m

(100 ft x 23 ft).

The windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazed units but the heating, wiring and general cosmetics are all likely to require updating. 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.

The area has two primary schools with a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school opening in 2016 which will also bring excellent sporting facilities. A number of Private schools are within cycling distance. There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, hairdresser, surgery, chemist, Waitrose supermarket and two new country parks."
