Description
Guide Price £400,000 to £425,000
This charming detached period home is set in a beautiful countryside location with easy access to both Cambridge and Newmarket. Rich in character and history, the property offers spacious and versatile living with a large living and dining area featuring parquet flooring, two fireplaces—one with a wood-burning stove—and an exposed clunch stone wall. The country-style kitchen is both functional and attractive, fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units, a Belfast sink, integrated eye-level double oven, five-ring gas hob with extractor hood, and space for appliances. From here, there's access to a generous rear porch, perfect as a garden room or additional living area, with French doors opening onto the enclosed garden.
Additional ground floor features include a utility room with plumbing and space for laundry appliances, a cloakroom with WC and wash basin, and internal access to the garage. Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms—two with charming exposed brick fireplaces and front-facing windows, and a third currently used as an office overlooking the rear garden. The recently refurbished bathroom has been stylishly upgraded into a wet-room layout with a freestanding bath, large walk-in rain shower, wood-effect tiled flooring, wall-mounted sink, tiled walls, and a low-level WC.
Outside, the front garden is neatly landscaped with a lawn and flower borders, while the rear offers a private, low-maintenance space laid with artificial grass, raised planting beds, and a decked seating area. A gated driveway provides parking and access to a spacious garage/sun room with great potential for conversion (subject to planning). The property also benefits from a new roof installed in 2022, and fresh external render completed in 2024 with a 15-year guarantee. Built of brick with clunch gable ends, this home lies within the Reach conservation area and presents a rare opportunity to own a character property in a desirable rural setting.
