A characterful semi-detached cottage on a quiet stretch of Abbey Street (a historic and picturesque lane in Ickleton). This is a 2 bedroom property with exposed character beams throughout. Downstairs there is a living room and kitchen area, with a bathroom and WC. The garden is accessed via the back door. Upstairs you have 2 large bedrooms, again with beautiful beams and high ceilings.

The garden comes with a shed for storage, in addition to grass/patio area.

Ickleton is a small, historic village on the CambridgeshireEssex border, 50 minutes from London. The village is peaceful, popular with walkers and cyclists, and has a strong community vibe (local society and events). The village benefits from a shop & post office, a convenience store, pub and village hall.

The property is an ideal bolt hole for anyone who wants to escape the busy life, or who is looking to relocate. It would also do well in the holiday let industry. There are not many holiday homes in the area, therefore this could be a high demand property. In comparison to similar properties there is potential to rent the property as a holiday home and receive an income of around £1,900 - £2,100 per week during peak season if the property was to a high standard and you looked at putting a hot tub in the back garden. Alternatively, if you were to renovate the property and rent out on a Assured Shorthold Tenancy, you could look to achieve around £1,350 -£1,500 per month. This is based on current Rightmove figures.
