About
This well-presented end-of-terrace Victorian cottage occupies a convenient position close to the centre of Waterbeach and offers thoughtfully extended accommodation, a long rear garden and a substantial detached garden studio.
The property was extended in 2017, creating a notably bright and practical kitchen and dining space while retaining the character expected of a period home.
The ground floor is arranged with a welcoming reception room at the front of the house, currently used as a sitting room but previously arranged as a third bedroom, providing useful flexibility depending on requirements.
To the rear, the house opens into an impressive kitchen/breakfast/family room forming the main living space of the home.
This dual-aspect room enjoys excellent natural light and features bi-folding doors opening directly onto the terrace and garden beyond.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units complemented by solid oak worktops and includes a freestanding induction cooker.
Underfloor heating and engineered wood flooring enhance the comfort and finish of this space.
Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility area with additional storage and a side entrance, along with a cloakroom.
A separate dining room sits between the reception room and the kitchen extension and provides a flexible space for everyday meals or entertaining, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful understairs storage.
Upstairs, the first floor provides two comfortable double bedrooms arranged around a generous landing area which is currently used as a study space and offers potential for future reconfiguration or loft conversion, subject to the usual consents.
The principal bedroom benefits from built in storage and an en suite shower room, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
Outside, a low-maintenance walled garden sits to the front of the house, while side access leads to the rear garden which extends to approximately 210ft (64m).
Immediately behind the house is a paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining, with the remainder of the garden laid mainly to lawn and bordered by established shrubs and hedging.
At the far end of the garden is a substantial detached studio, currently used as a gym and home office, providing a highly practical additional workspace. Agents note: No.
20 has a pedestrian right-of-way across the left-hand side and rear of No. 22.
Waterbeach is a popular village lying on the banks of the River Cam surrounded by glorious open countryside over which there are some fine walks with Cammell Walk being just 1 mile from the train station.
The village is situated just 6 miles north of Cambridge and can be approached either via a leisurely drive through Fen Ditton and Horningsea, or more speedily via the A10.
The village enjoys excellent facilities and has a bustling centre set around an attractive village green.
Here you will find a good range of local shops, pubs and take away restaurants, nearby in Milton there is a superstore and a broader range of facilities.
The house itself is also very close to the Waterbeach school.
There is a good bus service and the railway station is a most useful asset to the village and just a 4 minute walk from the property, providing direct links to Cambridge and London which can be reached in around an hour.
Waterbeach is also conveniently positioned for access to The Cambridge Science Park and Milton Country Park.
