Situated along the bustling High Street in this thriving Cambridgeshire village, this well-presented and chain-free four-bedroom period home has been renovated and extended by the current vendors and offers versatile accommodation, perfect for a busy family, and offers the added and rare opportunity to run a business alongside your home.

Comprising an entrance hall leading to an impressive, handmade kitchen designed and created by Willis and Stone, local craftsmen with attention to detail and who have carefully selected high-quality products and materials to produce this rather special bespoke solid wood kitchen. Offering a comprehensive range of wall and base units providing thoughtful storage ideas such as a double pantry unit complete with in-built herb and spice racks and electric points to keep appliances neatly out of view. With Neff integrated appliances including a fan-assisted oven, combination microwave oven and grill, an induction hob and matching extractor hood, washer/dryer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, with a double Butler sink inset to a Quartz work surface and a porcelain tiled floor. There is plenty of space to also accommodate a large dining table, allowing the family to enjoy eating together. Another real feature of this fantastic home is a lower level sitting room, via double doors leading down from French doors off the kitchen. An open fire with brick surround is a perfect focal point to this comfortable room and French doors lead nicely to the garden. A rear lobby is a perfect area for muddy boots and includes a ground-floor WC and access to the garden.  Lastly, the snug/family room is a versatile space that could easily be used as a home office, and attractive bay window flood light into the south side of the property, with stairs to first floor. The particularly well-planned first floor is ideal for a large family with a generous master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and en suite shower room. The high-quality and well-designed family bathroom includes built-in storage and an attractive four-piece suite. There is a second ample double bedroom with wonderful views over the garden at the rear, plus two further double bedrooms with one currently used as a home office.

A gated driveway alongside the property provides private parking and leads to the garage of 7.9 × 7.3 which is currently used as a workshop/store with WC. The total plot is approaching 1/3 acre and is mainly laid to lawn, with fencing and hedging to the boundaries. A wonderfully secluded space for children to explore and parents to enjoy, with a paved patio, outside tap, and access to the rear of the garage.
