Detailed Description

An attractive and sympathetically extended Edwardian three bedroom semi detached home, occupying a central position within this thriving market town. The thoughtfully remodelled accommodation has been finished to a high standard throughout and extends to approximately 1160 sq. ft., arranged over two floors with the added benefit of a basement and summer house. Furthermore, the property enjoys a convenient position within easy reach of the town centre and mainline railway station, providing direct services to London King's Cross and Cambridge.

The front of the property benefits from a pressed concrete driveway providing off road parking, with steps rising to the entrance door. The frontage is
attractively landscaped with a decorative pebble area, complemented by mature shrubs and climbing plants. A shared side passage provides access through to the rear garden.

A pressed concrete pathway leads to a black cast aluminium staircase rising to the rear garden, which has been thoughtfully landscaped and arranged over a series of tiers. The initial terrace provides an attractive seating and dining area, enclosed predominantly by dwarf wall boundaries and enhanced by a variety of mature shrubs. Steps rise to a lawned section with established planted borders before reaching a further patio seating area. Beyond, additional steps lead to a second lawned terrace featuring mature shrubs and well stocked flower beds.

A final flight of decked steps rises to an elevated decked terrace and summer house, enjoying attractive rooftop views across the surrounding area. Further
practical features include external lighting, an outside tap, and gated side access to the shared passage leading to the front of the property.
