Description

A Characterful Cottage in the Heart of Over


Combining period character with versatile accommodation and a particularly attractive walled garden, this four-bedroom cottage is ideally positioned on High Street in the popular village of Over. The property offers three bathrooms, a log-burning stove, a useful ground-floor bedroom with en suite facilities and private parking for two vehicles, together with convenient access to the Guided Busway and Cambridge.

Ground Floor

The entrance hall sets the tone, with an attractive stained-glass and timber entrance door, stripped wood floorboards and a built-in coat cupboard. From here, the sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and features a fireplace with a stone surround and inset log-burning stove.
The living space opens to a dining area, creating a natural connection between the two rooms and providing a practical layout for everyday living and entertaining. Glazed doors lead into the beautiful timber conservatory, which overlooks the rear garden and opens directly onto the patio.
The kitchen offers an extensive range of storage units and work surfaces, along with a built-in larder cupboard and space for appliances. This leads through to a characterful breakfast room, where exposed brickwork, believed to date from local brick production in Over during the 19th century, sits alongside a feature panelled wall and vaulted ceiling with inset spotlights.
Completing the ground floor is a versatile additional room, currently offering the potential to serve as a fourth bedroom, home office or playroom. Its adjoining en suite shower room makes it particularly useful for guests or those looking for ground-floor accommodation.

First Floor

The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned room with a vaulted ceiling, fitted storage cupboards and an en suite shower room. Dual-aspect windows take in views towards the historic church and neighbouring period properties within the village conservation area.
Two further bedrooms are served by a recently refitted family bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for family members and visitors.

Outside and Parking

To the front, a gravelled driveway leads to a private parking area with space for two vehicles.
The rear garden is enclosed by attractive walls and fencing, offering a good degree of privacy. Indian sandstone pathways and paved seating areas are complemented by a central shingled garden, mature shrubs and established flower borders. A timber summerhouse with power provides a useful additional space, alongside a separate storage area.

Location

Over offers a well-established village setting, with a good range of everyday amenities and easy access to the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside. The village has its own primary school, convenience store, post office, café, public house and community centre, alongside a recreation ground and a variety of local sports clubs. Walks along the River Great Ouse and through the surrounding countryside provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the area on foot.
The location is particularly convenient for those travelling into Cambridge or towards Huntingdon. The A14 is readily accessible, while the Guided Busway at neighbouring Swavesey provides a useful alternative for journeys towards Cambridge, St Ives and Addenbrooke's Hospital. Local bus services and cycle routes also connect Over with nearby villages and the wider area.
For families, Over Primary School is located within the village, with Swavesey Village College providing secondary education for the area.
