Appledram, Orchard Terrace, Whittlesford, CB22 4LU

Set back within a mature, well-established plot in Whittlesford, Appledram is an individual detached house dating from 1977, offering a distinctive architectural approach and a layout designed around light, volume and connection to the garden.

The house will appeal to buyers who value space and character over uniformity, with clear potential to adapt and refine over time.

The centrepiece of the house is the double-height sitting room, where exposed timber framing and a vaulted ceiling create a strong sense of volume.

Full-height glazing and doors open directly onto the garden, bringing in natural light throughout the day and reinforcing the relationship between inside and out.

A brick-built chimney breast with a freestanding stove provides a natural focal point without dominating the space.

The ground floor flows around this core, with a separate dining area connected to the kitchen, and a study positioned to the side of the home, offering a practical work-from-home solution.

The kitchen itself is functional and well-proportioned, with an adjacent utility room and direct access to the carport.

Upstairs, a galleried landing looks down into the main living space, enhancing the sense of openness.

Three bedrooms are arranged across this level, with the principal room set apart and served by a shower room, and the remaining accommodation is served by a family bathroom.

The proportions are balanced and offer flexibility for families or those needing additional workspace.

Outside, the garden wraps around the house and is largely laid to lawn with established planting, providing privacy and a soft, green outlook from the principal rooms.

A terrace runs along the rear elevation, creating a natural area for seating and outdoor dining.

To the far end of the garden, a substantial timber outbuilding offers useful storage or potential for workshop use, adding a practical dimension for buyers needing space beyond the house itself.

To the front, a gravelled driveway leads to a covered carport, offering sheltered parking and additional storage.
