Property insight
Offering excellent potential to update and modernise throughout, this 4-bedroom detached family home in Soham is offered with no onward chain, providing approximately 1,500 sq ft of accommodation across three reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, a bathroom plus two further WCs, driveway parking, a garage, and a good-size rear garden with scope for landscaping.

On approach, this traditional double-fronted home benefits from off-road driveway parking leading to the attached garage, with gated side access through to the rear garden. The pale rendered elevations, chimney stacks to both ends and traditional sash-style windows give the property plenty of period charm as a starting point for renovation. Stepping through the front door, the entrance hall gives access to the ground floor accommodation, with plenty of scope throughout for new owners to update and personalise the decor.

There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, comprising a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace, a separate dining room, and a study, offering flexible living space for a growing family or those who work from home. Each of these rooms would benefit from redecoration and new flooring, yet the room proportions throughout are a great starting point.

The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is dual-aspect, with windows to two elevations and space for a dining table. The kitchen itself is dated and due for replacement, with older units, tiled flooring, and space for freestanding appliances, though there is plenty of scope here to create a fantastic modern family kitchen/diner.

Upstairs, this spacious home continues to offer generous accommodation, with three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom suited to use as a single or home office. There is a family bathroom, comprising a bath with an electric shower over and a wash basin. The property also has a separate WC with hand basin on the first floor, and a further cloakroom WC on the ground floor.

Outside, the garden is a good size and enjoys established planting including mature hedge, shrubs and rose bushes, offering an attractive base for new owners to landscape and make their own. A paved pathway leads down the garden, with additional storage to the rear of the garage.
