Charming three bedroom property with no onward chain in picturesque village.

Description

Tudor Rose Cottage dates back to around the 17th century and measures 1801 sq ft approximately, offering scope for extension and modification to provide an annexe or additional two bedrooms (subject to relevant consents). The ground floor comprises an entrance hall from the side of the property with picture rails and door to the dining room and family room. The kitchen is finished to a high standard, with a range of base and eye-level units, 1.5 bowl sink with mixer tap, granite worktops, tiled splashbacks, pull out larder, space for white goods and a Falcon Range style double oven with six-ring ceramic hob and extractor hood over. There is a utility room/cloakroom which has a white suite, heated towel rail, plumbing and space for a washing machine.

The sitting room features a stone fireplace with slate hearth, wood burning stove and Adam style surround and two large windows to the front aspect. Off the sitting room is the dining room with an inset display shelf and sliding doors to the patio garden. The property offers versatile living accommodation with potential of a self-contained annexe with a dual aspect ground floor bedroom with large windows and a door which opens to the garden. There is a dressing room with built-in storage and an en suite shower room with white suite and heated towel rail. The dual aspect study could be utilised as a family room with kitchenette or be converted into a double bedroom.

The first floor comprises a principal bedroom. It opens into a large dressing room which could be converted back into another double bedroom. Adding a bathroom door on the landing would convert the en suite into a family bathroom which already has generous storage units and a claw foot, roll top bath with mixer tap and heated towel rail. There is an inset wash basin and granite vanity unit. The third bedroom has a window with views to the rear garden. There is access to the loft space which has previously had Planning Approval to convert.

Outside, the property occupies fine elevated position with beautiful views to open countryside. There is a neat front garden with shrub borders. There is a long gravelled driveway and off-road parking for two vehicles. To the rear, the enclosed, L-shaped, west-facing garden is laid predominantly to lawn with a patio area and well stocked mature shrubs, prolific hedges, fruit trees and benefits from high levels of privacy. There is a green house and a glazed summer house.

Location

The attractive South Cambridgeshire village of Abington has good local facilities including a well-regarded village pub, The Three Tuns, a village shop/post office and, on the edge of the village, the Granta Business Park.

Within the village there is a primary school and further schooling for all age groups is found within the area including well regarded independent schools in Saffron Walden and Cambridge.

More comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities are found in the high-tech university city of Cambridge (7.1 miles) and the medieval market town of Saffron Walden (8.4 miles).

For the commuter there is ready access on to the A11 dual carriageway just outside the village which in turn leads south to the M11 (Junction 9) or via the A505 to Junction 10, the Duxford interchange. The A11 proceeds northwards to connect with the A14 which leads to the east coast ports and the A1, M1 & M6.
