4 bed detached house for sale

Dolphin Lane, Melbourn SG8

A 1950's residence with a coach house, available with no chain, positioned in one of the most popular locations in Melbourn & set in delightful gardens of over a third of an acre backing onto the River Mel.

This established detached house sits in picturesque grounds approaching 0.4 acre, together with outbuildings, garaging and an old coach house that offers superb scope to convert into ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

On the ground floor are 3 reception rooms, including an open-plan kitchen/dining/breakfast room with an adjoining utility room and access to a cloakroom W.C. A porch leads into the main entrance hall which has stairs to the first floor and access to a shower room adjacent to a versatile sitting room benefiting from a dual aspect.

Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom which has a separate bath and shower.

Outside the property sits well back from the lane behind a gravelled driveway with ample parking. The front gardens are mainly lawned with established trees and hedgerows. The large coach house has served as a workshop for decades and has previously gained planning permission for conversion.

There is an adjoining single garage and a garden shed with door to a generous west-facing garden which has been exceptionally well manicured and includes an array of plants, shrubs and trees. There is a paved patio area, well suited to alfresco dining in the warmer months.

2 churches, including 13th-century All Saints'. Close to Royston's amenities, train station (London Kings Cross and Cambridge), and major roads (A1M, M11 via A10/A505). Airports are 30 minutes away.
