Popular Village With Range Of Amenities
Convenient Access Into Cambridge
Situated on Thirlwall Drive in the well-regarded village of Fordham, this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home has been thoughtfully extended and improved by the current owners, creating a stylish and exceptionally well-balanced home that is ready to move straight into.
A particular highlight is the impressive rear sun room, which provides a wonderful additional reception space with a vaulted ceiling, four Velux windows and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden. Underfloor heating and tiled flooring make this a comfortable space to enjoy throughout the year, while the seamless connection with the garden makes it particularly well suited to entertaining.
The kitchen diner, installed just two years ago, provides a modern and sociable heart to the home, with a range of white fitted units, integrated appliances, under-counter lighting and a useful pantry. From here, the outlook and access into the sun room create a natural flow between the principal living spaces.
To the front, the separate living room provides a more traditional and comfortable space to relax, with a large window overlooking the front and a decorative fireplace with mantlepiece. A downstairs cloakroom and useful under-stairs storage complete the ground floor.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two well-proportioned doubles and a further bedroom offering excellent flexibility as a child's room, home office or dressing room. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive full-width fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside, the rear garden is a real feature of the property. Enjoying a good degree of privacy, it combines an extensive York stone patio with a feature circular seating area and a generous lawn, providing plenty of space for both entertaining and relaxing. Two brick-built sheds, both with power and lighting, provide useful additional storage, while an outside tap and power point add further practicality.
The property also benefits from a private driveway providing off-road parking, with additional off-street parking available opposite.
Presented in excellent condition and requiring little more than the new owners' furniture and belongings, this is a home where the significant work has already been carried out. The combination of the modern kitchen diner, exceptional sun room, generous garden and convenient village location makes this a particularly appealing property.
