6 bedroom house

A most impressive and substantial double fronted Grade II listed detached Victorian residence occupying a prominent and delightful position fronting onto the village High Street with a view towards the church and backing onto farmland which was formally a fruit farm in the 1860's. The versatile and well proportioned accommodation extending in all to about 3,225 sq.ft. offers 4 reception rooms, a stylish Neptune kitchen opening to breakfast room, 6 bedrooms, bathroom and 2 shower rooms. The mature gardens extend to about 0.77 Acres and enjoy extensive parking, double cart lodge and a workshop.

The popular village of Cottenham retains its rural/ farming roots and is ideally and conveniently situated just 6 miles north of the university city of Cambridge. The thriving community offers excellent social, leisure and educational facilities, including shops, restaurants, post office, church, library and primary school and village college. The village is also well placed for access to major routes and within reach of the main line stations at Cambridge North and Waterbeach and provides direct links into Cambridge and London Kings Cross.
