Extended period cottage with large garden.
Description
2 North End is a larger than average detached cottage timber framed and thatched to the front added to which is a large modern rendered “wing” to the side and rear with a dormered tiled roof.
The cottage sits back from North End to the front of a large garden and has just been re-ridged and the thatch combed and rewired. The practical accommodation is laid out over two floors and is well presented but would benefit form a degree of updating particularly to the bathroom and ground floor shower/cloakroom.
The well fitted kitchen/breakfast room with a range of maple units and some integrated appliances is situated to the rear of the original cottage and has attractive terracotta tiled floors and French doors leading out onto the adjacent terrace. To the front is an original reception room with parquet flooring and good ceiling heights and one or two exposed beams. To one end of this room is a bay windowed study with windows overlooking the garden to the side. The ground floor cloakroom has a shower (requiring some renovation) and a WC. Beyond the kitchen is a further large parquet floored reception room with French doors and views over the garden.
At first floor level, reached via a modern staircase with triangular window to the front, are four bedrooms and a bathroom with a coloured suite. The main bedroom is found to the far end of a landing which features four double cupboards providing lots of hanging/storage space. There are two further double bedrooms and a single/ study with fitted desk and bed.
The cottage combines well laid out practical space with some original character in an attractive convenient village with access to good communications to both London and Cambridge.
To the front the cottage presents as a quintessential thatched cottage set behind a low hedge with a central picket gate. There is a small front garden laid to lawn, a detached single garage and parking for one car. A picket gate leads into the remainder of the garden which was formerly an access to Topcliffe Mill which is situated on the River Mel some distance away. There is a large paved terrace to the side of the rear extension and the remainder is laid mainly to lawn with many mature trees and hedged boundaries.
In all 0.27 of an acre.
Location
• Meldreth is situated approximately 11 miles south west of Cambridge city centre and benefits from good everyday shopping facilities with a convenience store and popular farm shop.
• Meldreth is a linear village with the railway station at one end and the church at the other, there is a Primary school and public house and as a matter of interest, the Greenwich Meridian runs through the village.
• A more comprehensive range of shopping facilities can be found in nearby Royston (with rail services into London’s Kings Cross from 38 minutes), and Cambridge with a wider range of shopping, recreational and cultural facilities. Meldreth railway station is just 1.3 miles from the property which provides services into both London’s Kings Cross and Cambridge stations.
• There are good recreational amenities in the area including golf clubs at Royston and Meldreth and an indoor leisure pool at Melbourn.
• State schooling for all age groups is available in the area - apart from the aforementioned Primary School in the village, and we understand that the village is in the catchment area for Melbourn Village College (2.3 miles). There are also a number of excellent independent schools for all age groups in Cambridge including St Faith’s, St John’s and King’s College Prep Schools, the Perse Co-Ed, The Leys, Stephen Perse and St Mary’s secondary schools.
