2 bed cottage for sale

Harston Road, Newton CB22

An attractive, thoughtfully extended and much improved, semi detached cottage, located in the heart of the village. The property provides characterful accommodation, has a 35m (110ft) long, south westerly facing garden and off road parking. Offered with no upward chain.

The property is bright and well proportioned, with the rear extension providing an exceptionally spacious kitchen/dining room with a vaulted ceiling and doors leading directly out to the garden.

Approached over a gravelled driveway that provides parking, the front door opens to the dual aspect kitchen, dining room to the rear. The room is characterful with an arched window over doors to the garden, two further arched windows to the side aspect, and exposed timbers. Kitchen cabinets extend along one wall and there is space for a large range cooker, a washing machine and a fridge. There is also plenty of space for a table and chairs. The adjacent living room is a lovely cosy room with an internal window that shares the light from the kitchen and has the staircase leading up to the first floor. An archway opens from here to the dual aspect sitting room at the front of the building, and this has a fireplace recess and tiled hearth.

On the first floor are two good bedrooms, both of which would take a double bed, with the larger of the two having a wardrobe recess. On the first floor there is also a bathroom with a bath with shower over, w.c and hand basin.

Outside the south west facing rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy. The garden is 35m (110ft) long and is currently divided into two spaces with low picket fencing. There is a patio adjacent to the cottage and a large expanse of lawn.

Newton is a lovely, smaller village about 3.5 miles south of Cambridge. The village is popular with those looking for a location that is close to the City and major road links (M11, J11,3 miles), but far enough out to be more peaceful and unspoilt by recent development.

There are mainline railway stations at Whittlesford (4 miles, London Liverpool St c. 75 mins) and Royston (9 miles, London Kings Cross c. 50 minutes).

Within the village there is an excellent family-owned and run local pub, a recreation ground, cricket ground with an active local club, a Sports and Social club and various local clubs and societies. Harston and Newton Primary School (ofsted 'Good') is in neighbouring Harston, about a mile away.
