2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Whittlesford Road, Newton CB22

A pretty period cottage, centrally located next to the village green and set back from the road behind a hard landscaped front garden, retained by a neat picket fence. The property has been comprehensively updated and improved by the current owner and is offered with no upward chain.

The property retains a wealth of character with many lovely features and there is a useful cellar that could be developed to provide additional space if required.

Approched over a paved path to the front door, the entrance hall has a beautiful tiled floor and the staircase rises from here to the first floor. The sitting room to the front of the building has exposed wooden flooring, painted ceiling timbers, and a feature fireplace inset with a log burner. The kitchen/dining room extends across the rear of the house and has been refitted with a good range of modern cabinets. There is a built in oven and hob with extractor over, an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer and space for a table and chairs. The room is dual aspect and has a fireplace recess and a door to the cellar. The adjacent utility/lobby, has doors to the side access and garden, and a built in cupboard that houses the washing machine.

On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is particularly sizeable with a large wardrobe along one wall and a further built in cupboard. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, and the bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, w.c., and hand basin.

Outside the rear garden is fully enclosed and mainly paved for low maintenance, with mature trees and flower/shrub beds.

The cottage is very conveniently located for access to the city centre, M11 and the nearby train stations at Whittlesford and Foxton.

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 lovely cafe/bakery/delicatessen, 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.
