The walk-in pantry also provides space for the washing machine and tumble dryers, plus an American-style fridge/freezer. The final room on the ground floor is a versatile additional reaction room, currently used as a family room; this could easily be a large home office or second sitting room. The first-floor accommodation comprises four good-sized bedrooms, the main with a range of built-in wardrobes and the family bathroom is a particular feature of this wonderfully modern family home.
The extensive professionally landscaped garden is laid mainly to lawn, with fencing to all boundaries and a porcelain patio with pergola. There is a detached outbuilding, currently used as a summerhouse, but could easily be a home office, studio or gym.
There is a large, block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles.
The popular village of Over lies approximately 10 miles (16.09 kilometres) northwest of the university city of Cambridge, providing easy access to A14 and M11. The nearest stop for the Guided Busway is just a mile away in neighbouring Swavesey; this is a direct route west to the market town of St Ives and south to the city of Cambridge, stopping at the Science Park, Train Station and Addenbrooke’s Hospital. Parallel to the Busway is a cycle path which is also popular for runners and walkers.
The community centre, located next to a sports field and children's play area holds many events such as weddings, parties and sports matches. The village green is the perfect place to watch a cricket match, walk the dog or play football.
There are two preschools, a successful primary school and Over is within the catchment for Swavesey Village College, which was rated as outstanding by Ofsted following their most recent inspection.
Along the High Street is a convenience store, village garage, a pub and hairdressers. A butcher, bakery, farm shop and Co-operative are located in the neighbouring village of Willingham, as well as an antique and new furniture sale hall with tea rooms and an outside eatery.
Wonderful walks can be enjoyed in the outlining countryside including orchards which are open to the public, the picturesque fen or along Chain Road to the River Ouse. A short walk to the RSPB Ouse Fen Nature Reserve for bird watching just north of the village with parking and access to the river.
