Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Easy Access To Cambridge
  • On Guided Bus Way
  • Outstanding Rated Village College
  • Five Bedroom Family Home, With 0.5 Acre Plot
  • EPC Rating D
  • 160 SQM
  • Further Development of Existing Property STP
  • High Quality Handmade Solid Wood Kitchen

A substantial, chain free, 5 bedroom detached house which sits within a 0.5 acre, west facing plot. A perfect family home, offering scope for further modernisation/development. There is also the possibility of further development within the garden, STP. The existing property could alternatively be modernised and/or extended STP.

The entrance hall includes two large built-in cupboards and stairs which lead to a half landing with wonderful views into the garden. The generous living room spans the depth of the house and also enjoys views into the garden via the patio doors. Formally a double garage, the substantial open plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with a custom-made, solid wood-painted kitchen. Commissioned by a local and highly regarded carpentry company who are renowned for producing high quality bespoke kitchens and furniture furniture. The kitchen units can easily be painted to a colour of you choice. The former kitchen is now a generous utility room, complete with a comprehensive range of built-in wall and base units and access to the rear garden and a shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. The landing of almost 5m x 2.5 provides an ideal space to work from home or children's play area. There are four bedrooms, with a first-floor office or nursery and en-suite to bedroom two and a family bathroom.

Swavesey itself has a diverse community and is popular with families, due to the successful Primary School and Outstanding Ofsted-rated Village College. There is a convenience store with Post Office and a thatched village shop situated in the historic market square, as well as various churches, a coffee shop, butchers and farm shop and a public house serving a wide range of real ales. On the green sits an attractive pavilion, used by the community. Swavesey is also fortunate to have the wonderful RSPB nature reserve at Fen Drayton lakes leading to miles of walks along the river and a stop for the guided bus. With the completion of the expansion to the A14, residents now benefit from better-flowing traffic, cycle paths and additional local byroads. The village also has a stop for the guided bus, which travels through the nature reserve to St Ives and Cambridge city centre and Addenbrookes. Parallel to the track is a cycle path which is popular for runners, cyclists and walkers.


EPC Rating: D

Garden

To the front of the property is a large, five-bar gated driveway which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The established hedging offer privacy, with gated access to either side of the property. The rear garden has been recently fenced to a high standard with trees removed, and general landscaping completed to provide a wonderfully secure, private and west-facing garden, measuring 0.5 acres in total. Within the garden is a large patio area, ideal for outdoor dining, a number of maintained trees and a double timber gated vehicle access. There is the potential for further development of the existing property and/or a further dwelling/s, subject to planning.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
