Attractive Grade II Listed cottage in sought after village location
This delightful Grade II Listed detached cottage offers a generous, well-designed and versatile living space, ideal for a large family or those with dependent relatives, situated in a sought after village location with good access into Cambridge (8.7 miles away). The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to provide both practicality and charm. The property is presented in excellent order, having undergone extensive refurbishment with great attention to detail. Upon entering the property, a welcoming entrance lobby leads directly into the dining room, a characterful space featuring exposed ceiling beams and a large inglenook fireplace complete with a former bread oven. This room also offers access to the garden and a concealed staircase. Adjacent to the dining room is the family room, another inviting space with exposed timbers on both the walls and ceiling.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been fully remodelled and upgraded to a high standard, featuring quality cabinetry, a central island, and elegant marble work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a hob, twin ovens, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher. This bright and airy room enjoys a dual aspect with lovely views over the village green. A door from the kitchen leads to the cellar, providing additional storage. The hall/study area offers useful storage cupboards, with stairs leading to two bedrooms on the upper level. From the kitchen, there's access to the rear reception hall, which has a door to the cloakroom, along with single and double doors that open onto the garden. This area also leads to the drawing room, a spacious and inviting area of around twenty feet by fifteen feet. The drawing room boasts a large fireplace with a recently installed wood burner, along with views to three aspects and double doors opening onto the garden.
The first floor is arranged to provide four bedrooms. Bedrooms three and four share a newly fitted shower room and a Jack and Jill dressing area, accessed via the staircase from the study/hall area. The principal bedroom, accessed via the dining room, features a dressing room/bedroom and a beautifully finished, recently refitted shower room. Bedroom two is reached via the staircase from the kitchen and benefits from its own refitted en suite bathroom and WC.
Externally, a driveway provides ample parking and leads to a rear courtyard featuring a small fishpond. A detached outbuilding with rendered elevations beneath a pantiled roof has been converted to provide an annexe-style living space. This includes a double bedroom with en suite, a utility/kitchen area, a reception hall, and a studio/office. The outbuilding also houses a garage. The remaining garden lies at the rear, offering lawned areas, well-stocked flower beds, and seating areas, as well as a garden shed and an oil storage tank.
