8 Dickasons, Royston, SG8 6EL

Property Insight Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Melbourn, this three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow has been extended and comprehensively renovated throughout, and is presented in turn-key condition ready to move straight into.

The single-storey accommodation runs to around 1,056 sq ft, opening at the rear into a light-filled extension that makes the most of an open outlook over the meadow beyond.

A generous gravel driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to a substantial garage and studio that currently works as a workshop but offers clear scope to convert into additional living space or a home office (STPP).

Little is left to do here but unpack. A welcoming entrance hall with parquet-style flooring and fitted storage sets the tone, with limewash walls carried through much of the home.

The lounge sits to the front, a comfortable room with a large picture window, built-in timber shelving and a limewash feature wall, connected to the rear through a softly curved archway.

Beyond lies the heart of the house: An open-plan kitchen and dining room within the extension, lit from above by twin skylights and opening onto the garden through bi-fold doors.

The kitchen is fitted with handleless white units, a pale composite worktop and a central island with breakfast seating, finished with a warm terracotta splashback and integrated appliances.

The three bedrooms are arranged off the hallway, with the principal bedroom overlooking the rear garden and benefiting from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite with a walk-in rainfall shower and black fittings.

A second double and a versatile third bedroom which could double up as a study/nursery are served by a stylish family bathroom with a bath and shower over and a period-style vanity.

Outside, the rear garden is a genuine highlight, laid mainly to lawn with curved planted borders and a gravelled seating area, backing directly onto open green space with no properties immediately behind.

Combined with the driveway parking and convertible garage which already has electrics & a separate meter, this is a rare turn-key opportunity in one of Melbourn's most settled positions.

Location – Melbourn Melbourn is a large parish village in the far southwest of Cambridgeshire, 3 miles from Royston and 11 miles from Cambridge.

It has a long history of occupation stemming from the springs and the River Mel, which rises at Melbourn Bury and runs clear and shallow over chalk and gravel.

There are many countryside walks, including several ancient trackways crossing the parish.

Melbourn is a bustling village offering two village shops, a pharmacy, doctor's and dentist surgeries, two traditional pubs, the highly regarded Sheene Mill restaurant and hotel, and a spa opposite.

There are a number of parks and a wide range of clubs for all ages.

Schooling runs from pre-school options through primary to secondary within the village, and there are two churches, including All Saints' Church, dating from the 13th Century.

Meldreth station is within walking distance, Royston's mainline station offers fast services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross, and the A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive. EPC Rating: C
