Step Inside:

Entered through a substantial original hardwood front door with fanlight, the reception hallway showcases polished timber floorboards, a handsome returning staircase and access down to a wine cellar and stores with original brick paviour flooring, power and lighting. A well-appointed guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The reception rooms are full of character, a grand drawing room with ornate cornicing, picture rails and a wood-burning stove within an exposed-brick fireplace, plus bespoke library shelving. An open-plan dining and family room centres on a cast-iron fireplace and ceiling rose, with shuttered sash windows and French doors to the terrace, while a snug/media room offers a further relaxed sitting area with a stone-surround fire. The kitchen is a highlight, generously fitted with soft-close units, stone worktops and a four-oven oil-fired Aga beneath a vaulted, beamed ceiling with garden access, alongside a practical utility room housing the boiler.

Step Outside:

The house sits on a plot of land, 0.385 of an acre, and the gardens are an absolute delight. You would not realise that you are in the heart of the Village as it is so quiet and peaceful. The patio and outdoor kitchen area provide a tranquil sun-drenched area to eat breakfast, dine or barbecue. You meander your way through to a secret garden and then a formal walled garden, that is totally private and not overlooked. Moving through into the formal vegetable plot, seamlessly blending structured formal entertainment with a magnificent, secure walled garden that promises ultimate privacy.

Available with the distinct advantage of no onward chain, this property sits firmly within the highly sought-after Comberton Village College catchment area and offers seamless connections for commuter travel.

A substantial, highly adaptable historic brick barn accessed via multiple timber double doors. The ground floor offers a vast workshop environment with a solid concrete floor, power, and lighting. An internal staircase leads up to a magnificent first-floor open-vaulted storage loft.

The Secondary Barn:

A secondary standalone building with double door access, concrete flooring, and rear window, perfectly suited for classic vehicle storage or a trade workshop.

Driveway & Parking:

Approached via a lowered kerb onto a large gravel driveway secured by twin timber estate gates. The frontage provides an abundance of private off-road parking for numerous vehicles and offers direct, unrestricted vehicular access to the barn complex.
