About
**take A look at the 360 virtual tour** Tucked away in the heart of the ever-popular village of Swavesey, this charming two double bedroom detached cottage offers character, warmth and a lifestyle that’s getting harder to find.
From the moment you step inside, it’s clear this is a home with real personality.
Exposed beams, a cosy log-burning stove and a genuine cottage feel run throughout, while still offering practical, well-balanced living space.
The main reception area flows beautifully, with the living room opening into the dining space to create a sociable, open-plan feel that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for hosting friends.
The kitchen is well fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances and a classic butler sink, with access out to the garden. The ground floor is completed by a spacious four-piece bathroom.
Upstairs, you’ll find two proper double bedrooms, both comfortable in size and benefiting from fitted storage. This is a genuine two double bedroom home, not a compromise.
Outside, the garden is designed to be low maintenance, ideal if you want outdoor space without the upkeep. There is also off-road parking within the plot, a real bonus for a central village location.
This is a home that suits a wide range of buyers.
First time buyers get character without the headache of major work, downsizers get manageable space in a great location, and investors get something that will always attract strong tenant demand.
Swavesey Village Swavesey is one of those villages that people move to and stay in.
It offers the balance buyers are chasing right now - a proper community feel, excellent schooling and easy access into Cambridge.
The Guided Busway is a huge draw, giving quick and reliable links into Cambridge, the Science Park and St Ives, alongside one of the best off-road cycle routes in the area.
If you work in or around Cambridge, this makes daily life far easier.
The village itself has everything you need day to day, including a shop, pubs, restaurants, sports clubs and plenty of green space.
For those who like the outdoors, Fen Drayton Lakes is right on your doorstep, offering walks, wildlife and a proper escape from the day to day. Schooling is a standout.
Swavesey Village College is one of the strongest-performing secondary schools in the county and consistently in high demand, while the primary provision is also well regarded.
It’s a big reason why families target this village specifically.
All in all, this is a rare opportunity to secure a detached cottage with real charm, in a location that continues to perform year after year.
