Property description
A substantial, semi detached home, set in a generous 0.16 acre plot with a beautiful, mature rear garden, a garage and off road parking. The property has scope for significant expansion subject to obtaining the necessary consents and is offered with no upward chain.
Located on the edge of the village, the property is bright and spacious with a private rear garden.
Approached over a neat front garden with a driveway leading to the garage on one side and an area of lawn with a wide shrub bed on the other. The front door is set beneath a canopy which provides protection from the elements as you go in and there is a welcoming entrance hall with the staircase leading up to the first floor and a useful built in cupboard under.
The sitting room is a bright room with a large window to the front that floods the room with natural light. There is a brick fireplace inset with a gas fire and concertina louvre doors open to a generous dining area and a second, dual aspect sitting area with windows overlooking and a door leading out to the garden. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets set above and below the working surface, there is space for a cooker, fridge, and washing machine; further fitted larder cupboards, and a door out to the garden. On the ground floor, there is also a cloakroom.
On the first floor there is a very sizable, triple aspect main bedroom with windows to the front, side, and rear. The property has two further double rooms with the third bedroom having built in cupboards and there is a smaller, single fourth bedroom. There is also a family bathroom with a bath and handbasin, and a separate shower room and w.c.
Outside the rear garden is extremely private and beautifully maintained. There is a patio adjacent to the house and a winding path leads down to a small watercourse at the far end. The garden has a very productive vegetable plot and a shed, and there is a wide path to the side of the property with a personal door giving access to the garage. The house is set in an elevated position away from the watercourse, and the property has been in the same ownership for over 35 years during which time the property has never flooded.
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.
