Description

This bright and welcoming semi-detached home on Thorpe Way has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners to perfectly suit modern family life. There is generous living space across three reception rooms with a standout feature being the open plan kitchen and family dining room.

There is a private driveway and walled front garden with a lawn and attractive planting. A pedestrian gate leads to the front porch; and there are double gates into a practical paved storage area at the end of the driveway. 

Inside the porch there is space for coats and shoes as well as a downstairs WC. The entrance hall leads through a glazed door into the open plan, dual-aspect, dining room and kitchen. There is a recently refitted Shaker-style kitchen occupying an L-shaped layout and fitted with a gas hob; extractor fan; base and wall cupboards; integrated dishwasher; integrated fridge-freezer; as well as space for a freestanding washing machine.

Accessible from both the kitchen and dining room is the large living room which is again dual aspect, connecting to a conservatory at the rear of the property. Again glass doors have been used to increase the feeling of space and light throughout the ground floor. The conservatory has been updated to add a tiled roof for improved insulation and is used by the current owners as a home office and family room. There is access to the large rear garden via French patio doors. 

The rear garden is a peaceful outdoor retreat with a generous lawn and planted with small trees; as well as shrubs in the raised beds. There is a patio offering space for outdoor dining as well as a storage area beyond the driveway gates for bikes, bins and garden tools. 

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a third single bedroom; alongside a smartly fitted family bathroom. The landing has two storage cupboards, one of which contains the boiler. 

This property's location offers excellent access to Cambridge North Station via the Chisholm trail bridge as well as the city's main station. There are convenience shops, a GP surgery, and takeaway restaurants on Ditton Lane as well as at the nearby Marleigh development. Fen Ditton village offers a couple of pubs including the popular Plough located beside the River Cam. Newmarket Road has a wide range of out-of-town shops and restaurants; and of course the city centre itself offers an abundance of shops, cafés, restaurants, and cultural attractions. 

The catchment schools are The Galfrid School for primary, with Fen Ditton Community Primary School and Marleigh Primary Academy within walking distance, and Coleridge Community College for secondary. All rated Good by Ofsted in their most recent inspections.
