PROPERTY DETAILS

Upon entering the property, you will initially access the cosy sitting room, which features timber beams to the ceiling, a brick fireplace with an inset gas fire and a door to the rear. The second reception room is used as a dining room, with an open tread staircase to the first-floor accommodation, and a door leads to the ground floor bathroom. This comprises a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath and an airing cupboard providing space for towels and linen. The well-planned kitchen comprises a comprehensive range of wall and base units, with space for appliances, an inset stainless steel sink and feature beams to the ceiling. Access to the rear garden. The generous landing is currently used as a study but could easily be used as an occasional bedroom with access to the two double bedrooms, which have been recently re-decorated and re-carpeted, with loft access to storage from the main bedroom.

OUTSIDE AREAS AND PARKING

To the side of the property is a single garage, with power and light connected, and a hard standing that provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The hard standing offers scope to be incorporated into the rear garden, allowing the potential for the property itself to be extended—subject to the necessary planning.

The pretty, cottage-style garden comprises an area of lawn with well-stocked borders and an expanse of lawn with mature trees and shrubs. The side garden provides the ideal space for a home office/studio, or the potential for the property to be extended.

LOCATION

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 recently upgraded 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 surrounding countryside including orchards which are open to the public, the picturesque fen or along Chain Road to the River Ouse. A short walk reaches the RSPB Ouse Fen Nature Reserve for bird watching just north of the village with parking and access to the river.
