House For Sale £575,000
Believed to date to C18, with later additions, Cardinal’s Yard is a quintessential, timber framed property with rendered elevations and inside, period features include exposed timbers, parquet flooring, ledged and braced doors and an inglenook fireplace. Whilst a programme of updating would see the interiors reflecting the requirements of modern lifestyles, the cottage offers immense potential to create an idyllic home. The unique, fine carved entrance door opens into the reception hall which leads through to a formal dining room with part-vaulted ceiling, offering the ideal setting for entertaining with an access door into the spacious sitting room. This impressive room also offers high ceilings and features the stunning framework of beams and posts with seating arranged around an attractive fireplace with wood-burning stove. Across the hallway, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room is filled with light courtesy of the large bay window, which has an inset seating bench offering the perfect position for informal dining. High and low level, wood-fronted units are fitted in the kitchen and an external door provides a route out to the garden. An additional reception room offers versatile uses, but is currently providing a study which would enable home-workers to enjoy a quiet retreat.
On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, with the principal room having a double-aspect and a length of fitted wardrobe storage. There is also a bathroom on the upper level, which complements an additional bathroom on the ground floor
The hamlet of Cardinal’s Green is situated in the Cambridgeshire countryside in close proximity to the village of Horseheath which offers a post office with gift shop, a public house and a village hall providing a venue for local clubs and fitness classes. The well-regarded neighbouring village of Linton offers a wider variety of day-to-day amenities, along with a health centre, primary and junior schools and a college with its own sports centre. Both Haverhill and Saffron Walden are also easily accessible with their extensive ranges of recreational, educational and shopping amenities, whilst the city of Cambridge with a wealth of amenities is only slightly further afield. Communication links are good with the A11 and M11 within easy reach providing access to the national motorway network, including the A14 and A1 and for commuters there are services to Cambridge, Stansted Airport and London Liverpool Street from Audley End Station. The area offers a wide range of schooling including Linton Village College and noted independent schools in Cambridge, which include St Faiths and The Perse School.
Haverhill 4 miles, Linton 5 miles, Saffron Walden 10 miles, Audley End train station 12.7 miles (London Liverpool from 59 mins), Cambridge 14.3 miles, London Stansted Airport 23 miles
With mature shrubs and trees to the roadway, the property enjoys a tranquil and secluded setting with a delightful, wrap around garden and evergreen hedging to some of the boundaries. A pathway meanders through the lawned grounds which are interspersed with specimen trees to reach the front entrance doorway and continues around the side of the home to reach the rear garden. A terrace adjoins the cottage offering opportunities for outdoor seating and dining with an outlook along the length of the plot through lines of trees to the far margin where mature trees form a denser spinney. A useful garden shed offers storage for maintenance equipment and garden paraphernalia. The picturesque surrounding countryside offers numerous routes for walkers and bird-watching opportunities for nature-enthusiasts.
