Coming to the market for the first time since being built in the 1970’s, Signature Homes is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity for the right buyer to acquire this spacious four-bedroom detached home in the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Over.

As well as providing all this spacious and versatile accommodation, the property also offers prospective buyers a huge amount of potential for further enhancement and the chance to make their own mark should they desire.
The house occupies an excellent plot with a beautiful rear garden measuring approximately one hundred feet in length and a private driveway to the front providing parking for five vehicles in addition the integral double garage.
The village of Over has a good range of facilities and amenities including local shops, a church and The Admiral Vernon public house, which is open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and is renowned for serving locally brewed ales and good quality food. There is also a vibrant community centre which plays host to a number of leisure groups and clubs including football, rugby, cricket, badminton, amateur dramatics and gardening to name just a few.
For families with young children, the Over County Primary School is within walking distance and ofsted rated as Good. For older children, Swavesey Village College, located just two miles away, is ofsted rated as outstanding.
For Commuters, Over is well placed for the A14, A10 and A428 with the cities of Cambridge to the southeast and Huntingdon to the west, equidistant at just ten miles away and both offering direct train services to London in under an hour. In addition, Cambridge Science Park is a twelve-mile drive away, but can also be reached via the nearby guided busway from Swavesey, in just seventeen minutes.
For water and nature lovers, the boating marina at St. Ives is within very easy reach and the stunning Fen Drayton Lakes rspb Reserve is just four miles away with several miles of woodland and lakeside walks, making this a great location for bird watchers, dog walkers, joggers and ramblers alike.
Accommodation:
Ground Floor:
Entrance
A large, covered porch with two crazy paved steps up to the front door, which gives access to a good size hallway. Here there is a downstairs cloakroom with a modern fitted suite comprising a sink, w/c and a heated towel rail. There are also doors to both the lounge and the breakfast room and a staircase giving access to the first floor with a large storage cupboard under.
Lounge
A generous double aspect room with a window overlooking the side garden and triple, sliding doors providing access to the patio with excellent views of the rear garden. Both flood the room with natural light, whilst a modern coal effect gas fire with a white marble surround, provides a lovely focal point for the room.
Kitchen / Breakfast Room
A light and airy front aspect room with a window overlooking the front garden and a double-glazed door to the side of the property, providing access to both the front and rear gardens. At one end of the room, the kitchen is fitted with a good range of eye and base level units in blue and white with contrasting coloured work surfaces and a double drainer stainless steel sink. At the other end of the room is a generous space for a family size breakfast / dining table and flows very nicely through an ornate archway with a step down to the dining / family room.
Dining / Family Room
Currently used as a secondary lounge, this is another excellent size, light and airy room, with a window overlooking the side of the property and sliding double-glazed doors to the conservatory. This room could be used for almost any purpose, but for those looking for more open plan living, without too much imagination, a large, open plan kitchen / Dining / Family room could easily be created here.
