A well-presented and improved three-bedroom mid-terrace home providing good sized accommodation and gardens, potential to extend (STP), a superb location overlooking the village green.

Briefly, the accommodation includes a glazed entrance lobby with doors leading to the side and into the sitting room, a spacious, bright and airy space to the front of the home with large picture window overlooking the front garden, chimney breast with inset wood burning stove for those cosy Autumn and Winter months, stairs rising to the first floor. Part glazed door through to the Kitchen.

From the kitchen is a part glazed door to the side, into the utility room with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. Storage cupboard, previously a WC.

First-floor landing, three bedrooms, two doubles and a good sized single typical of the age of the home, bedroom one views to the rear of the home and bedrooms two and three views to the front overlooking the park. The family bathroom is a white three-piece suite with a shower over the bath.

Outside the gardens are of good size, to the front they are predominantly laid to lawn with plant and shrub borders, mature hedging and a retaining white picket fence with a path to the front door. The rear garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing, a patio area, lawn, raised plant and shrub borders, a mature Cherry tree, a brick-built shed and a greenhouse.

Whittlesford - The Tickell Arms is a marvellous name for a pub. If you’re local you probably take it for granted, but it really is. Like The Pemberton Arms in Harston it’s actually named after the local Lords of the Manor, the Tickell family, and strictly speaking it’s said tick-ell rather than tick-ull. Pronounce it the correct way if you must but know the rest of us are having more fun. If that’s not enough moniker merriment, Whittlesford’s other pub is called The Bees in the Wall. It does not contain literal bees in the literal wall, just good traditional pub cheer. The local shop and post office doesn’t have a name I don’t think, or if it does it’s something like Whittlesford Shop. A missed opportunity perhaps.

Other things in the village include a primary school that feeds Sawston vc, a large village green and various pleasant walks out into the countryside. Oh, and only a mainline railway station at its south edge! Taking you into Cambridge in 10-12 minutes, Stansted Airport in a bit under 30 minutes and Liverpool Street in about an hour. The M11 is super easy to get to at junction 9 and neighbouring Sawston or the Shelfords have doctors, supermarkets and all the other day-to-day things you might need. Plus it’s a handsome village of winding roads and fine old buildings.
