Description

A charming cottage set in a picturesque location, almost in the shadow of the parish church and away from passing traffic. The cottage has appealing character features and a generous garden. Offered with no upward chain.

Offord Cottage is a pretty period cottage, in need of complete renovation but with the potential to become a very special home.

Approached over a pathway, the cottage has a small front garden set behind a picket fence and there is a path to the front door. There is a small entrance lobby leading to the two reception rooms; a small dining room with a fireplace and a built in cupboard, and a larger dual aspect sitting room with a large window overlooking the garden. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with cabinets above and below the working surface and has a sink and drainer and space for a cooker. On the ground floor there is also a bathroom fitted with a bath, w.c and hand-basin, and there is a lean to with a storage cupboard off.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a pretty fireplace and a door opening to the eaves storage, and the second bedroom has built in cupboards and a door into the eaves.

Offord Cottage has a generous garden which extends to the side of the property. The garden is a good size, with mature shrubs and is screened from the public path with hedging.

Grantchester is a highly sought after and picturesque village, enjoying a real sense of being within the countryside, yet it is just a couple of miles from the city centre and just a few moments drive from the M11. The village is famed for its association with Rupert Brooke, Lord Byron and the Drama series Grantchester and has a sense of being a quintessentially English village, with its pretty Medieval church, famous tea rooms and its riverside location.

Grantchester Meadows provide a lovely area for recreation and there is a pleasant walk which ambles along the riverside to the city. The village currently has a pub, gastropub, tea room, village hall, and Gin distillery. Primary education is available in the neighbouring village of Barton, and secondary and sixth form facilities are available at the Ofsted rated 'outstanding', Comberton Village College. The village is also on the right side of town for access to some of the best private schools Cambridge has to offer.
