A charming detached country cottage set within an rural setting, offering superb potential to refurbish and create an exceptional home
Occupying an idyllic rural position amidst open Cambridgeshire countryside, 1 Salome Lodge Cottages is a charming period home offering tremendous potential to create an exceptional country residence. Constructed from traditional yellow and buff stock brick beneath a slate roof, the property was originally two Victorian farm workers' cottages, thoughtfully combined and later extended to create a surprisingly spacious four-bedroom family home.
Having been previously tenanted, the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and refurbishment, presenting an exciting opportunity for purchasers to renovate and personalise the accommodation to their own taste. With generous proportions, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light throughout, the house provides the perfect canvas for transformation.
The accommodation extends to over two floors and begins with a welcoming dining room, retaining original character including the former fireplace recess and useful understairs storage. Beyond lies the impressive double-aspect sitting room, a wonderfully bright reception space centred around an attractive fireplace and enjoying delightful views across the surrounding countryside.
Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen, fitted with a range of cabinetry, sink unit and space for a range cooker, offering excellent scope for redesign and modernisation. A rear hall provides access to the practical utility room, separate shower room, and WC, with a door opening directly onto the driveway.
The first floor continues the sense of space, with three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying picturesque views across the surrounding farmland. A fourth single bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a nursery, home office, or dressing room, whilst the generous family bathroom serves all four bedrooms.
Outside, the property is approached via a gated driveway providing ample parking for five vehicles and leading to a detached single garage. The gardens wrap around the house and are principally laid to lawn with established conifers, creating an excellent outdoor space to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. From both the front and rear, uninterrupted views stretch across the neighbouring arable farmland, reinforcing the property's wonderfully rural setting.
Nestled alongside a working farm and surrounded by just a handful of neighbouring properties, 1 Salome Lodge Cottages enjoys an enviable sense of peace and privacy while remaining conveniently placed for everyday amenities. The nearby village of Leighton Bromswold is home to the popular Green Man public house, whilst the neighbouring village of Spaldwick offers further facilities including a convenience store with Waitrose products, additional public houses, and everyday services. Well-regarded primary schools can be found in both Spaldwick and Brington, with secondary education available at Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon.
Whether seeking a rewarding renovation project, an investment opportunity or a characterful first home, 1 Salome Lodge Cottages offers enormous potential to create a beautiful country property in an attractive rural setting. Rarely do opportunities arise to acquire a home with such generous accommodation, mature grounds, and far-reaching countryside views, providing the perfect foundations for a truly special home.
