4 bedroom detached house

Character village house with large garden.

Description

24 Station Road is a characterful village house in a convenient position close to the Church in the centre of this well connected village just north of Cambridge.

Originally a traditional Cambridge brick cottage 24 Station Road was extensively modified with architect designed additions which have transformed the property into a good size family house with characterful accommodation laid out over two floors and extending to approximately 2,292 sq ft.

Of particular note is the large main sitting/ dining room which has an open fireplace with wood burning stove and sliding doors leading out to the paved courtyard behind the house.

At first floor level the main bedroom, which sits over the archway on the ground floor, has a vaulted ceiling and aspects to front and rear and a Juliet balcony with French Doors overlooking the garden. A shower room sits next to the main bedroom and could be made en suite with the addition of a door to the landing and there is a family bathroom in addition. Above the detached double garage accessed via a spiral staircase is a further bedroom with en suite shower which could also function as an office. The property is offered for sale with vacant possession.

A five bar gate provides access under a wide archway with storage cupboards to either side into a shingled parking area in front of which is the double garage with metal up and over door. To the side is a large raised paved terrace with planting surrounding and steps lead down into the extensive gardens which are laid mainly to lawn with many mature trees and shrubs and a circular topiary box hedge feature with shingled seating area in the centre. Beyond the first part of the garden is a more open area of level lawn with a small orchard in one corner featuring several apple trees.

In all about 0.38 of an acre.
