The property requires modernisation with the ground floor comprising a broad living room with stairs to the first floor, a kitchen, bathroom, and a second rear reception room. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms.

The rear garden has vehicular access via its own driveway to the left of the house and could be utilised for off-road parking. There is also a driveway to the right which leads to a single garage.

Cottenham is one of the largest and best-served villages in South Cambridgeshire, situated approximately six miles north of Cambridge. The village enjoys excellent connectivity, with convenient access to the A14 and regular bus services linking Cottenham with Cambridge, Ely and surrounding villages. Cyclists are particularly well catered for, benefiting from largely flat, well-used routes into Cambridge via Histon and established cycle paths.

Cottenham has a thriving and welcoming community, supported by a comprehensive range of local amenities. These include independent shops, cafés, pubs and takeaways, alongside churches, a community centre, library, medical practice, dentist and pharmacy. Leisure facilities are a particular strength, with a sports centre, skate park, recreation grounds and a wide variety of clubs and societies. A full calendar of community events throughout the year contributes to the village’s lively and inclusive atmosphere.

Education provision is a key attraction for families. Cottenham Primary School is well regarded, while Cottenham Village College provides local secondary education and sixth form, and is known for its positive learning environment, strong academic performance and wide-ranging extracurricular opportunities.
