About
Enjoying far-reaching southerly views across the River Cam and Stourbridge Common, Mulberry Cottage is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home that offers an impressive combination of space, style and location.
From the driveway, a long, open porch extends along part of the front of Mulberry Cottage, creating a sheltered and welcoming approach.
Inside, the inviting entrance hall provides a central route through the house and includes a conveniently positioned downstairs WC.
To one side, a dual-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light, with a discreet store and utility, accessed from the sitting room and with an external entrance, ideal for outdoor gear.
At the rear, the kitchen and dining space opens up as a bright, social heart of the home, perfect for everyday living and entertaining, with French doors opening onto the private southerly garden - ideal for summer dinners or morning coffee in the sun.
The elegant Shaker style kitchen offers abundant storage and workspace, featuring a substantial peninsula with an integrated induction hob and additional cupboards.
It is fitted with integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, tall fridge freezer, and Belfast sink, combining practicality with timeless style.
Upstairs, a light-filled landing leads onto a balcony with wide reaching views over the River Cam and Stourbridge Common.
From here, three of the four double bedrooms are accessed, including the current principal bedroom with en suite, alongside the main family bathroom.
Three of the bedrooms enjoy river views, two of which are accessed from this landing, while a further double bedroom off of this landing sits to the front of Mulberry Cottage.
Mulberry Cottage has been thoughtfully configured to include a separate, self-contained living area, previously used to generate additional income through short-term lets.
This space comprises a living room and a staircase leading to a double bedroom with en suite, framed by views over the River Cam.
Originally accessed via the main house, this area now benefits from its own entrance and private courtyard garden, offering flexible accommodation for guests, extended family, or a home office.
Outside, Mulberry Cottage provides off-street parking for several vehicles and an enclosed southerly garden, offering a secluded space for relaxing or entertaining.
There is direct access from the garden to the riverside pathway, ideal for bringing through kayaks, paddle boards and heading out for morning runs and walks.
Situated in Chesterton, Mulberry Cottage is ideally placed just northeast of Cambridge, with a variety of local shops nearby and the city centre around 1.5 miles away, easily accessed on foot or by bicycle along the river and across Stourbridge and Midsummer Common.
Commuters benefit from Cambridge North railway station, just half a mile away, with fast connections to London, and the property is also conveniently located for Cambridge Science and Business Parks as well as access to the A14.
