House For Sale £750,000
Detached Cottage In A Central Village Location With Over 2,500 Sq. Ft. Of Versatile Accommodation.
There are also some delightful and characterful features, such as the hand crafted dragon chimney pots and open fireplaces, which all add to the individuality of this deceptively spacious home. All this, combined with its village centre location and perfect blend of period charm and modern day living, makes this lovely home a truly unique and very rare opportunity indeed.
Situated in the heart of the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Fenstanton, this charming, detached home offers the right buyer a three bedroom period cottage, a two/three bedroom, two storey, fully self-contained annexe, as well as a separate detached guest suite / second annexe, totalling over 2,500 square feet of floor space.
The two storey, self-contained annexe, is currently fitted out for the ground floor to be completely wheelchair accessible. Adjoining the main house, this annexe could easily be converted to make one, much larger house if required.
Situated just a short walk from the village amenities, the property also offers parking for numerous vehicles, making the multi-generational living and rental potential, even more viable.
Within the village, there are a number of pubs, shops and eateries, but Fenstanton is also ideally situated for easy access to the A14 and is just seven miles from Huntingdon and fourteen miles from Cambridge. Both towns offer major shopping centres and an easy commute to London.
For families of school age, both Fenstanton Pre-School and Fenstanton & Hilton Primary Schools are within easy walking distance, whilst for older children, Hinchingbrooke School is under seven miles away.
