House For Sale £525,000
The property is entered through a pretty porch whereupon you step onto the spacious dining room with stairs rising to the first floor and an exposed brick wall and archway. This leads through to the generous sitting room with a raised hearth and multi-fuel burning stove. French doors and an additional window to the rear garden, and the openness to the dining room benefiting from a dual aspect, ensures that this space is flooded with natural light.
The kitchen/breakfast room, again is lovely and light due to its dual aspect with large windows. It is fitted with a range of units, ample work surfaces, integrated appliances and space for those which are freestanding. A large dresser unit with display cabinets along one wall adds character to the room again enjoying a dual aspect. An inner hall with additional cabinets leads to a cloakroom and a conservatory/garden room with French doors to the rear garden. A utility room with a range of base level units with additional sink and spaces for appliances can be found off the conservatory.
The landing leads to three good sized bedrooms, the master with a range of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with a three-piece suite. A family bathroom again with a three-piece suite completes the accommodation.
Outside, there is good sized frontage with a gravel driveway providing off street parking for several vehicles and access to the single garage. This has an up-and-over door with power and light connected.
Gated access to the side of the home provides access to the rear garden, which is fully enclosed with a large lawn, patio area, greenhouse, tap, lighting and an oil tank. The single garage has up and over door, power and light connected.
Comberton (pronounced Com-berton, unless you’re local and were born before the fifties, in which case it’s Come-berton) is half a mile from the middle of the world. Well, from a tiny little stone on the Toft road that marks the Prime Meridian. A modest claim to fame, perhaps, but important enough that they named to local primary school after it. Less modest is Comberton Village College and Sixth Form, which, at the time of writing can’t seem to stop being rated Outstanding by Ofsted and provides the community with a health and fitness club, sports facilities and great pride.
The centre of the village is a crossroads with a duck pond, a shop, post office, pub, doctors, dentist, butcher and hairdresser so it’s very much a village you can potter round and get your little life bits done without having to jump in the car
Rather than devoting a whole room in your house to occasional visitors, they can camp at the lovely touring site at Highfield Farm and you can turn the spare room into a gym.
You can probably guess how close Meridian Golf Club is and two villages away in Bourn you can enjoy the luxury of Cambridge Country Club.
If you’re commuting to Cambridge the west city boundary on Barton road is within 2.5 miles with a cycle path almost the whole way (you have to use the road for a few hundred metres in the middle of Barton). Barton itself is a great place to go too, where you can indulge at the shops of Burwash Manor. On a sunny afternoon, take a 3 mile walk or bike ride over the fields to the tea rooms, pubs and river at Grantchester or hop on to the footpaths that head out of the village in all directions. The National Trust’s Wimpole Estate is a few villages to the west.
On the sad occasion where you need to leave the area for more distant destinations you can join the M11 in either direction at junction 12 in 2.5 miles.
