House For Sale £440,000
The property is set well back from the road in this quiet, picturesque village, which is surrounded by beautiful countryside but is still only a few moments from the A11 and just a twenty minute drive from the city.
Elm Tree Cottage has been fully updated and improved to a very high standard over recent years, blending the stunning character of the cottage with modern comforts and a high quality, contemporary kitchen and bathroom. The owners have also invested in providing a lovely, private outside space ideal for dining or entertaining friends.
Approached over a gravel drive, which provides parking for several vehicles, the front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall. There is a spacious, dual aspect, sitting / dining room with exposed beams and attractive wood flooring. The seating area to the front is set around a very pretty fireplace inset with a log burner and the dining area has plenty of space for a table and chairs, and there are patio doors that provide access out and views over the garden. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining area and is beautifully fitted with cabinets set above and below the working surfaces. There is a built-in double oven and induction hob with an extractor over, an integrated dishwasher and fridge and freezer. There is also a ceramic sink inset to lovely natural wood surfaces and a door leading out to the garden.
The guest bedroom is on the ground floor and is a good double with lots of fitted wardrobes, and there is a window and a roof light, which provide natural light. The bathroom is an oasis of tranquillity, fitted with a bath with a shower over, w.c and a vanity unit inset with a hand-basin. On the ground floor there is also a utility room with space for a washing machine and a drier, further cupboards and a back door leading out to the garden.
The main bedroom is on the first floor and is a lovely bright, dual aspect room with lots of exposed timbers. There is plenty of room for the double bed at one end and for storage at the other.
Outside to the front of the property, the double garage doors open to a storage area ideal for bicycles and garden tools. There is also a power point fitted making it an ideal space for further appliances if required. The rear garden has undergone extensive work since the owners purchased the property and they have invested to make it a lovely space for entertaining friends. There is a high quality patio, which extends to the side and rear of the property, a pergola and a raised area of lawn. The garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect and is exceptionally private. There is also a pedestrian gate giving access to the front of the house.
The property is exempt from needing an EPC, it does however have an expired EPC which rates the property as a very decent 'D', which is the average rating for homes in the UK.
West Wratting is a well-regarded village, apparently rated second highest in Cambridgeshire and is conveniently located for access to the centres of Cambridge, Saffron Walden and Newmarket all of which are about 11 miles equi-distant.
It is within the catchment of Balsham Primary School, which feeds into Linton Village College, with a school bus stop nearby on the High Street.
Within the village there is a church, pub and sports field, whilst Balsham, which is a short drive away provides a post office store and a lovely coffee shop. There are more extensive day-to-day facilities including a small supermarket, doctors' surgery, hairdressers, pubs and cafés in Linton, which is about 5 miles southwest.
