PROPERTY DETAILS

Situated within the centre of the village, a short walk to the wide range of amenities offered within this sought-after village, the property is located along Overcote Road which is an attractive road leading to the river where wonderful walks can be enjoyed and a jetty which provides access for boats and kayaking to the river. The property has been extended but would appreciate some updating and with such a large garden, there is scope for further development subject to necessary planning.

The entrance hall has stairs leading to the first floor, WC and doors leading off to reception rooms which include a sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen at the rear which overlooks the garden. First-floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms - a generous master bedroom with en-suite shower room, a second good-sized double with built-in wardrobes and two further single bedrooms, with a family bathroom and separate WC.

To the front of the property is a lawned area with hedging to the boundary, driveway providing off-road parking leading to a tandem length garage with up and over door, power and light connected, and personnel door to garden. To the side of the property is a passage that provides access to the garage and a door leading into the rear garden. The rear garden is 1/3 acre, mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing with mature trees, planting and hedging.

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.
