A stunning semi-detached period cottage, extended and fully refurbished with many unique features, set within mature and private gardens with an external home office.
The property enjoys a fine central position within this idyllic South Cambridgeshire village, set back from the road in beautifully landscaped, mature gardens which extend to 0.10 acres. The current owner, in 2017/2018 transformed the cottage with a programme of expansion and refurbishment, retaining many original features yet blending these seamlessly with stunning modern additions.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with fitted storage cupboard, Karndean flooring and a cloakroom/WC just off. The sitting room boasts a feature fireplace with inset wood burning stove, exposed timber beams, fitted storage cupboard, Karndean flooring and doorway to first floor staircase. Just off this room is a pleasant office/reading room with exposed timbers and original brick floor. The heart of this beautiful home is the vaulted kitchen/family/dining room, a dual aspect room with bi-fold doors and sky light bathing this family space in natural light. The kitchen area is fitted with bespoke modern cabinetry, quartz work surfaces with inset ceramic double sink unit with mixer tap and drainer and this contracts beautifully against the feature exposed brick wall. There is a rangemaster professional stove built into a large central island with retractable base extractor plus integrated Bosch dishwasher and washing machine plus space for an American style fridge/freezer.
Upstairs, off the landing with a feature window overlooking the kitchen area, are four bedrooms including the master bedroom with French doors to a Juliet balcony and three further bedrooms, all with exposed timbers, solid wood flooring and the guest bedroom has the original feature fireplace. A family bathroom boasts a large walk-in shower, low level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin, heated towel rail and attractive Karndean flooring.
Outside there is a low maintenance shingled front garden with flower and shrub beds enclosed by picket fencing with a driveway providing off road parking to the side. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped with pleasant patio areas and paved pathways which are flanked by well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds and lead to a generous timber-decked area on which is an external studio/home office which includes a bathroom, ideal for those working from home or requiring a hobby space. This could easily be converted to a self-contained annexe. All enjoys excellent levels of privacy and seclusion and i screened by mature specimen trees, bushes and hedging.
