About
To make an enquiry please click the email agent or request viewing button on the listing, this will allow us to respond to you as quickly as possible For anyone looking for a well-presented, move-in ready home in a well-connected market town, Heron Croft delivers without fuss.
Due to be fully redecorated prior to the next let, this neatly proportioned two bedroom link terrace property is presented throughout in neutral tones and offers a practical, comfortable layout that works well for a professional, couple or small family looking to put down roots in Soham without compromise.
The entrance hall leads into a good-sized sitting and dining room, a comfortable combined living space with room for both relaxing and eating.
To the rear, the modern fitted kitchen provides a well-specified and separate cooking space, and a downstairs WC adds a level of convenience that makes day-to-day life that little bit easier.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom to the front of the property is a generous double, and the second bedroom to the rear is a comfortable smaller double equally well suited as a guest room or home office.
The family bathroom with shower over bath completes the first floor.
Front and rear gardens provide outdoor space on both sides of the property, and allocated parking to the rear ensures coming home is always straightforward.
Soham is a well-served market town with everything needed for comfortable day-to-day living close to hand.
A Co-op, Asda and M&S Local cover the everyday essentials, independent businesses add character to the High Street, and both The White Horse and The Red Lion offer good food and real ales without the need to travel.
The leisure centre provides a pool, gym and fitness classes, and healthcare, dental and other local services are all within easy reach.
When the mood takes you further afield, Newmarket is just down the road with its racing heritage, independent restaurants and lively market days, and Ely, a short drive to the north-west, brings cathedral city atmosphere, a thriving food and drink scene and one of the best markets in the county.
Cambridge is reachable in around thirty minutes via the A142 and A14, opening up the full range of city dining, culture and retail whenever you want it.
Commuters are well placed, with Soham's own railway station providing regional connections and Ely's mainline services placing London King's Cross within easy reach.
The A14 puts Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and the wider road network firmly in range for those who drive.
