Station Road, Fordham, CB7 5LP

Approaching the property on the B1102 from Burwell to Fordham, the property is situated just before the rail crossing. One of a pair of semi-detached period cottages with generous space both inside and out.

An attractive building on approach, two storey with white rendered facade and black composite door. Parking for 2/3 cars at the front. Entering the property you find yourself immediately into the outer entrance hall/porch.  A great use of space creating a utility/cloakroom area. Moving through there is also an inner hall with under-stair storage cupboard, leading through to the kitchen.

The kitchen is welcoming and spacious with tiled floor and a mix of wall and floor level light coloured cabinetry, with stainless steel sink, eye-level double oven and lots of worktop space. There is room for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Through the rear door you will find yourself entering a conservatory making an excellent sunroom or storage area for plants, boots and shoes. Back through to the kitchen there is a door leading to an extremely generous downstairs family bathroom.

A white bathroom suite of bath, sink and toilet one end, and a very generous wet room type shower the other end with frosted window. A large velux window above the bath floods the room with light. The floor and walls are fully tiled and there is a fitted vanity storage unit and heated towel rail.

Back through to the inner hallway we go through to the first of two reception rooms. Firstly the dining room with original pine floorboards and large bay window adding to the traditional feel. Another window to the side makes the room dual aspect and very light and airy. There is a chimney breast, currently not in use as a fireplace, it could be re-instated.

An extremely attractive oak lined arch with beautiful oak door inset adorned with traditional fittings leads through to the sitting room. 

The sitting room is a good size and can easily accommodate 2 sofas, there is a lovely cast iron traditional open fireplace with solid sheesham mantle and quarry tile hearth. A great space for cosy family evenings, and stunning day time views over countryside.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms (bedroom one with compact en-suite shower), all with dual aspect windows making the most of both the light and the countryside views. There is storage on the landing with fitted cupboards. Bedroom two has delightful handmade sliding wardrobes fitted into the eaves. The whole first floor is fully carpeted. The property has oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout.

Externally the property has a wooden picket fence and gravel drive to the front, providing parking for three to four cars. Through the side gate and into the large garden, which has been landscaped with winding brick pathway, decking and lawned areas bordered with mature shrubs, fruit trees and annuals. The dedicated septic tank is under the lawn but causes no inconvenience whatsoever. It is brick lined with four drain covers. There is a wooden shelter where chickens were once kept and a greenhouse.

Moving to the bottom of the garden there is a double garage preceded by another parking area for up to three cars. A track runs alongside the edge of the property giving access to the neighbouring farm at the end.

This property has been a very happy home for its current owners. It has a rural feel with its wonderful views and close proximity to the farm and its activities.
