3 bed detached house for sale

High Ditch Road, Fen Ditton, Cambridge CB5

The property was originally of non standard prefabricated concrete construction. In order to bring the property up to modern day standards and improve the thermal insulation, an external brick skin was added along with enhanced roof insulation and new stronger foundations. At the time of the works (1990) Completion certificates were not issued by the council unless requested in writing when the application was made. However, according to a letter from the Council in 2004 (a copy is available on request)" the work commenced in August 1990, and as far as can be ascertained from our records, was completed in November 1990 and there is no indication or record of any problems or outstanding items". Additionally, according to a well respected firm of mortgage brokers, the information above should satisfy most lenders and they believe the property should be mortgageable.

Standing detached, this well-proportioned property sits well back from the road and offers scope to convert the garage to provide further living accommodation and erecting a garage/carport in the large frontage area.

Fen Ditton lies on the north east of Cambridge, with the city centre being just over 3 miles and a 15 minute cycle away. Both the train stations are within easy access, Cambridge North being a 10 minute cycle away along the new Chisholm Trail cycleway, which offers services into Kings Cross in 54 minutes. The position of the village along the River Cam also allows wonderful walks to both the City of Cambridge and Ely. Within the village there is a primary school, which feeds into Bottisham Village college and a church. There are three public houses, including two gastro pubs, with The Plough having lovely views over the river Cam. A doctors' surgery, a butcher and a supermarket are within easy reach of the village. For the commuter there are excellent links to the M11, A14 and A11.
