Description
A unique opportunity to purchase a substantial detached house on the outskirts of the desirable village of Great Wilbraham, just to the east of Cambridge. The double fronted house is believed to have Victorian origins with significant extensions added in the late 20th century to provide the following accommodation.

Ground Floor: Front Porch with ceramic tile flooring; Lobby; Reception 1 with built-in corner cupboard, solid fuel stove; Lounge Area with brick fireplace; Open-plan Kitchen/Dining Room with tiled flooring, range of hand built base and wall units, window to side and door to garden; Study; Inner Hallway with door to integral garage; Shower Room with wc, shower cubicle and wash hand basin.

First Floor: Central Landing gives access to a total of 5 Bedrooms; Conservatory; Family bathroom with matching suite comprising panelled bath, wc, wash hand basin, fitted units.

The gross internal floor area (excluding the garage and studio) is approximately 194m.

Outside: Access to the front of the house is via an unmade driveway in a narrow clearing through the trees from Station Road and provides off-street parking for 2 vehicles, with a second pair of solid gates further along Station Road, offering additional off-street parking.

The grounds that immediately surround Orchard Way extend to approximately 1 acre and predominantly comprise a mature area of woodland which is in need of management. There is a further rectangular parcel of woodland to the north of the main gardens of the property which extends to 4.1 acres. The additional woodland can only be accessed via the grounds of Orchard Way and is bordered by arable land to the south, north and east.

Orchard Way is in a dilapidated state and requires a full programme of refurbishment and repair works, but this provides potential purchasers with a fantastic opportunity to tailor the property to their own tastes and standards. It is rare chance to acquire such a generous property so close to Cambridge, which affords buyers such seclusion and space.

Location
Orchard Way is located on the edge of the popular east Cambridgeshire Village of Great Wilbraham, which benefits from a limited range of village including a well regarded pub. The village is surrounded by undulating countryside and is approximately seven miles east of Cambridge City centre, and wonderfully positioned with easy access to the A11.

EPC Rating: F
Council Tax Band: G

Planning
According to South District Councils website, the property is located within green belt and is outside Great Wilbraham's development framework and conservation area. The woodland fronting Station Road and behind the house is designated as a tree preservation order area. We recommend that buyers make their own enquiries within this regard.
