Chapmans Way, Over, CB24

The property is situated to the rear of Chapman’s Way, a small development off Long Furlong, with convenient access to facilities on the High Street and the village primary school.

Occupying a generous plot, the property benefits from a long and private rear garden, together with a broad side garden that offers excellent potential to extend the existing accommodation (subject to the necessary consents) or accommodate a detached garden studio or home office.

The property underwent a comprehensive programme of improvements between 2019 and 2022, including replacement external windows and doors, new cladding and fascias, a refurbished kitchen, refitted en suite and cloakroom, solid wood internal doors and frames, new flooring throughout, and skimmed ceilings with inset spotlights.

The ground floor comprises a porch with access to the cloakroom, leading into the entrance hall with staircase to the first floor and useful understairs storage cupboard. From the hall there is access to a study, a living room with rear-facing window and French doors opening onto the garden, and the kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboard units and incorporates an integrated double oven, gas hob with extractor hood, one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap, slimline dishwasher, and tiled splashbacks. The dining area provides ample space for a six-seater table and benefits from French doors opening onto the garden, together with an internal door leading to the garage.

On the first floor are four bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a triple built-in wardrobe and a refitted en suite shower room comprising a shower cubicle, vanity wash basin and WC. Bedroom 2 is a spacious double room with two rear-facing windows, while Bedroom 3 is a further double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom 4 is a generously sized single bedroom. The family bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bath with shower attachment over, vanity wash basin, WC and heated towel rail. There is also an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

The south-west facing rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and features a patio terrace, lawn, and mature trees and shrubs to the boundaries. The adjoining side garden is also laid to lawn and includes a second patio area, timber shed, and gated access to the front of the property.

To the front is a broad lawned garden and a double-length driveway leading to the garage, which is fitted with an electric roller door and a rear pedestrian door to the garden. A rare feature is the additional strip of garden land extending beyond the front boundary of the property, further enhancing the plot size.
