Description:
Situated in the heart of the highly regarded village of Melbourn, this attractive character home enjoys beautiful views towards the village church and offers a wealth of charm throughout, combined with spacious and versatile accommodation.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. To the left is a superb sitting room, flooded with natural light and featuring a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a substantial gas fireplace which creates a cosy focal point. French doors open directly onto the garden, further enhancing the sense of light and space.
To the right is a dual-aspect reception room, currently used as an office. Featuring the opposite side of the property's impressive inglenook fireplace, this room offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a snug, playroom or additional sitting room. Beyond is a generous dining room with French doors opening onto the garden, providing an ideal space for both family life and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and offers plenty of space for a dining table, making it a sociable room for informal meals and everyday living. The dual-aspect nature of the room allows natural light to pour in throughout the day, whilst a stable door opens onto the patio, where views can be enjoyed across the pond and towards the church. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with further access outside, whilst a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly spacious room with excellent ceiling height, fitted wardrobes, views over the garden and an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom, all benefitting from fitted wardrobes. The accommodation is served by a contemporary family bathroom fitted with a large walk-in shower.
Outside:
The property enjoys a beautifully established garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderful setting. A generous paved terrace adjoins the house, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining. The garden to the front is planted with a range of sub-tropical plants focused around the pond and the rear is a traditional cottage garden, laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs, flowering plants and well-stocked beds, creating colour throughout the seasons. The gardens also benefit from a greenhouse and a number of seating areas that have been positioned to make the most of the sunny aspects and attractive outlook.
A particular feature of the garden is the outdoor swimming pool, accompanied by a pool house and surrounding terrace. The gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and provide a picturesque backdrop to this charming village home.
Location:
Melbourn is one of South Cambridgeshire's most sought-after villages, offering an excellent range of amenities alongside a strong sense of community. The village provides everyday conveniences including local shops, a pharmacy, doctor's surgery, pubs, restaurants and well-regarded schools, whilst also benefiting from a variety of clubs, recreational facilities and countryside walks along the River Mel and surrounding rural landscape.
The village is ideally placed for commuters, lying approximately 11 miles south-west of Cambridge and just 3 miles from Royston. Mainline rail services are available from nearby Meldreth and Royston, providing direct connections to both Cambridge and London King's Cross, whilst the A10, A505, M11 and A1(M) are all easily accessible. Stansted and Luton airports can both be reached within approximately 30 minutes by car.
