Station Road, Foxton

Dating from around 1880, this attractive Victorian cottage combines period character with thoughtful contemporary improvements, creating a home that feels both established and practical. Extending to approximately 679 sq ft, the accommodation has been carefully updated while retaining features that reflect the property's heritage, including exposed timber floors and the focal point of a wood-burning stove in the sitting room. The generous rear garden and glazed dining room offer valuable additional space that is often difficult to find in homes of this scale.

The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming sitting room at the front of the house, where bespoke shelving and cabinetry sit comfortably alongside the fireplace, creating a space that is both comfortable and well-proportioned. Beyond, the kitchen has been fitted in a classic shaker style with solid timber worktops, ample storage and a central island, making it a practical space for everyday cooking as well as entertaining. To the rear, a glazed dining room provides an additional reception or dining area, connecting the house with the garden and offering flexibility throughout the year. Upstairs are two bedrooms, both finished in a calm, understated style with original timber flooring, together with a well-appointed shower room that has been refurbished to a high standard with contemporary fittings and natural stone-style finishes.

Outside, the front garden is attractively landscaped with mature planting, creating a pleasant approach to the house. A right of way is granted across the neighbouring end-of-terrace property, providing valuable side access to the rear garden without passing through the house. The rear garden is a particular feature, extending well beyond the house to provide a combination of paved terrace, lawn, mature trees and established planting, together with a raised decked seating area positioned to enjoy the evening sun. A substantial timber shed provides useful storage.

The village will appeal to those prioritising a quieter pace of life while remaining within reach of Cambridge or London. Day-to-day needs are typically met locally, with broader amenities, schooling, and commuter links accessible in the surrounding area.
