Charming detached cottage with double garage and gardens in a popular village.
Description
Maltings Cottage is situated in Maltings Lane, a delightful no through road in a Conservation Area on the edge of the village with an attractive variety of period houses.
Of rendered and part flint elevations beneath a slate roof, this charming detached property is thought to have once been a pair of Victorian cottages which have been joined and extended to the rear over the years. Facing south to the front, it offers attractive, light accommodation over two floors with good ceiling heights. The bedrooms are all independent, accessed by either of the two staircases, one at each end of the property.
The cottage is approached from the right hand side elevation and the entrance door leads to the hall with the first of the staircases on the left and the charming sitting room (currently used as a dining room) to the right. This is a well-proportioned room overlooking the garden with French doors to one side, with an open fireplace with wooden surround and mantel, tiled inserts and hearth. The dining room (or snug) to the front also adjoins the hall with fitted cupboards and a quarry tiled floor and beyond is the kitchen/breakfast room. This is divided into two areas with a fireplace in the dining (or sitting) area. The kitchen area has been fitted with a range of painted base, wooden worktops, exposed ceiling timbers and door to the second staircase to the first floor. Behind the kitchen is a utility room with oil fired boiler and plumbing for a washing machine also with access to the garden. To the rear of the dining room is a cloak/store area which leads in turn to a cloakroom.
On the first floor, the main bedroom and adjacent bathroom are in the later rear extension over the dining room, the former having views over the garden and the latter being surprisingly spacious with a white suite of panelled bath, low flush WC, wash basin and bidet, part tiled walls and a window to the side. In the older part of the house there is a study or nursery together with two double rooms (which also interconnect), one having fitted cupboards and the other an en suite shower room. The second staircase leads from the further bedroom to the kitchen so they do all have independent access.
The rear gardens are delightful, there is a shingle drive beside the cottage which leads to a brick paviour drive to the rear and a double garage with workshop or gym space. Beside is a raised lawn, with retaining wall and steps, a variety of mature trees and shrubs and a pergola in the far right-hand corner providing a pleasant spot for al fresco dining and enjoying the last of the day's sun.
Location
• Maltings Cottage is pleasantly located in an elevated position on Maltings Lane towards the edge of this delightful south Cambridgeshire village. This is a popular village with a good local community enjoying many events – from badminton to bell ringing, carpet bowls to Chishill Chimps playgroup. There is a windmill to the west of the village, one of only five surviving open trestle post mills in the country and a well-regarded local pub/restaurant, The Pheasant.
• The village is located approximately 17 miles south west of Cambridge – the principal city of East Anglia – which is famed for its beautiful colleges and is the hub of the UK’s technology industry. The city provides an extensive range of excellent shopping, recreational, cultural and business facilities together with some of the finest schools in the country. The leading scientific centres including Addenbrookes Biomedical Campus, The Babraham Institute, Granta Park and the Genome Campus at Hinxton are located to the south of the city so are easily accessible from the property.
• The picturesque, medieval market town of Saffron Walden (9 miles) provides an excellent range of day to day shopping facilities including a Waitrose Supermarket and Saffron Hall - an award-winning, 740 seat performance space/concert hall and Saffron Screen, a local cinema, both within the grounds of Saffron Walden County High School.
• The property is very well located for access to both Cambridge and London – Royston is approximately 5 miles to the north west offering frequent trains to London Kings Cross from 38 minutes. Whittlesford Parkway is 9 miles to the north east and has regular trains to London Liverpool Street from 60 minutes. Junction 10 of the M11 is about 10 miles away and provides excellent road links to Stansted Airport and the M25.
(All distances and times are approximate)
Square Footage: 1,687 sq ft
Acreage: 0.81 Acres
Directions
Travelling on the B1039 from Wendens Ambo, proceed for approximately 6 miles into the village. At the crossroads in the centre of the village, turn left onto May Street and left again into Maltings Lane. The Property will be found on the left hand side.
