Vermuyden Way, Fen Drayton, CB24

This three-bedroomed house has been comprehensively refurbished. An impressive open-plan ground floor space includes windows to three aspects, creating a light and comfortable space, and wonderful views into the side and rear gardens. The comprehensive and well-designed kitchen comprises a range of modern wall and base units with two complementary styles of wall and base units with a light work surface and inset sink unit, integrated washing machine, dishwasher and built-in four-ring gas hob and electric oven. There is access to the side garden and an attractive, modern staircase in metal and wood, also the addition of a range of storage cupboards and shelving, creating a cosy and versatile living/working space.

The first floor comprises a landing with a window offering views to the southern side of the house, two double bedrooms which both include double built-in wardrobes, plus a sizeable single bedroom which is currently used as a home office. The bathroom has been modernised and converted to a well-planned, fully tiled shower room, including a large single walk-in shower cubicle, a vanity unit with ceramic sink, heated towel rail and an airing cupboard, ideal for drying clothes and storing linen.

OUTSIDE AND PARKING

Perfectly positioned at the end of the development, with the benefit of a corner plot, the beautifully designed, low-maintenance garden includes an array of perennials set to flower beds, carefully selected to create colour throughout the spring and summer and attract wildlife. This tranquil and private garden also has mature fruit trees providing shade and fencing the boundaries and has been designed to provide structure during the winter too. To the rear of the property is a single garage with a private parking space in front.

LOCATION

The village of Fen Drayton lies approximately 9 miles from the University City of Cambridge, for history, art and culture, restaurants and shops, five miles from St Ives, a historic market town, and nine miles to Huntingdon train station.

The village itself is very picturesque with the High Street being the centre and home to a quaint thatched pub. The RSPB nature reserve, Fen Drayton Lakes, well known for wetland birds, is just a short walk.

The guided bus stops within the nature reserve and takes passengers to Cambridge along what was previously the train line; this service also continues to Addenbrookes Hospital and westbound to St Ives. Alongside the guided bus route is a cycle path, often used by walkers and runners alike.

From the small but successful Primary school, children progress to Swavesey Village College, rated outstanding by Ofsted.
