Description

Brierley House is situated on elevated ground set well back from the road between the villages of Coton and Madingley on the edge of Cambridge. The house was originally a modest bungalow which has been comprehensively extended and refurbished and now provides approximately 2,927 sq ft of accommodation laid out over two floors and has the benefit of solar panels and air source heat pump heating system.

Of particular note internally is the ground floor layout which features large open plan space combining kitchen, dining and sitting areas with a large full width reception space to the rear overlooking the garden through bi-folding doors with a lantern overhead. The kitchen has granite working surfaces, twin sinks and a range of integrated appliances including twin ovens, ceramic hob, dishwasher and a large American style fridge/freezer, in addition there is a matching utility room. The wood floored sitting room has a wood burning stove set into a brick opening with stone hearth and a timber overmantle and all of the main reception and kitchen areas interconnect through wide openings which can also be closed off if required. In addition on the ground floor there are two bedrooms and a study together with a refitted shower room.

At first floor a wooden staircase with glass balustrading leads to a spacious landing and three double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The main bedroom at the rear has wide windows overlooking the garden and the view beyond and a French door, built in wardrobes to both sides and a refitted en suite shower room. A family bathroom on this level completes the accommodation which can be seen in greater detail in the attached floorplans.

The house is set behind a mature hedge and a shared entrance leads into a wide shingled parking area to the front of the house with an area laid to lawn. The drive extends around to the side of the house where there is deep covered parking area beyond which is the detached double garage with up and over door. At the rear of the garage is a self-contained office with services connected and central heating. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace and lawned gardens which lead down to a low picket fence. To one side there is an outbuilding with three stables. A greenhouse and the remainder of the land contains some fruit trees and extends down to the rear boundary which overlooks open fields and affords a distant view across to south and west Cambridge.
