5 bed detached house for sale

New Road, Over CB24

A substantial, nicely proportioned, detached family home, providing 175sqm (1886 sqft) of high quality accommodation. The property is set in a convenient, central village location, with a double garage, private garden and off road parking.

This spacious, well-designed five-bedroom detached home offers a versatile layout with three reception rooms and enjoys convenient access to village amenities, countryside walks, and the guided busway. Situated in a desirable non-estate location near the village centre, the property is well planned and provides beautifully maintained living spaces over two floors.

Approached over a neat block paved driveway, the front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall, with the staircase rising up to the first floor and a cloakroom off. There is a bright, flexible study at the front of the house, ideal for working from home or as a playroom or snug. To the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen and adjoining breakfast room are fitted with ample storage, an integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer, a built in oven and combined oven and microwave, and a hob with extractor over. The adjacent dining room has patio doors leading out to the terrace, and there is a spacious, dual aspect sitting room with an attractive fireplace and patio doors that open to a generous conservatory overlooking the garden. A useful utility room with appliance space and a door to the garden completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five good sized bedrooms, all of which would take a double bed if required. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, w.c., and hand basin. A luxurious, recently refitted family bathroom with a separate shower enclosure serves the remaining four bedrooms.

Externally, the house is set back behind a neat front garden with a block paved driveway offering off-road parking and providing access to the double garage. To the rear is a beautifully landscaped garden that features a paved patio area, lawn, and timber shed. The garden is enclosed by mature hedging and enjoys a high degree of privacy.

Over is about ten miles north-west of Cambridge, a short hop along the broad and usually speedy A14 and also pretty decent to get to on the guided busway via the station between the village and neighbouring Swavesey. There’s a cycle path beside the busway too, imagine how svelte and zen you could get commuting that by bike, past the bird reserves, away from car traffic, just you and the world. Lovely.

The village has a village store, church, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, large community centre and social club with a range of facilities, public house, day nurseries and a primary school that feeds Swavesey Village College. There is a lovely riverside area down Overcote used for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, picnicking and other such wholesome fun and down Fen End is rspb Ouse Fen wetland and nature reserve.
