4 bed detached house for sale

Eversley Close, Cottenham, Cambridge CB24

A truly delightful and individual detached residence, occupying a splendid plot extending to approximately 0.27 acres, and offering an impressive 219.5sqm (2,362.9 sqft) of versatile and beautifully proportioned accommodation.

Constructed by the Wynn family in 1996, this much-loved home has remained within the family since its construction and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine character, scale and individuality. Positioned towards the end of a centrally located cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting, whilst the historic market wall runs alongside and around part of the perimeter of the plot, providing an attractive and distinctive backdrop.

A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation. There are four well-proportioned reception areas, including a generous living room, dining room, and conservatory. The living and dining spaces are particularly impressive, with connecting doors allowing the rooms to be opened and enjoyed as one substantial entertaining space when required, whilst retaining the flexibility to separate the areas for more formal or intimate use. The conservatory provides an additional reception space and enjoys views across the beautifully maintained gardens. Two spacious ground-floor bedrooms provide considerable flexibility, whether used for family accommodation, guest bedrooms, a home office, or multi-generational living. A ground-floor bathroom serves these rooms. Completing the ground floor is a generous kitchen/breakfast room, providing a practical and sociable heart to the home with ample space for everyday family dining.

The first floor provides a further two large double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage. A second family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation, whilst a particularly useful large airing cupboard provides excellent additional storage.

Externally, the property is approached via a substantial gravel driveway, providing extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leading directly to the detached double garage.

The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property’s most appealing features. Extending to approximately 0.27 acres, the gardens offer an exceptional degree of space and privacy and are enclosed in part by the historic market wall. The rear garden has been beautifully manicured and features a combination of sweeping lawn, mature and well-stocked borders, established planting and a variety of timber-built outbuildings, providing useful storage and potential for a range of hobbies or garden uses. A particularly attractive nature pond forms the focal point of the garden, creating a peaceful and tranquil setting and attracting a wonderful variety of wildlife. The grounds have an established, natural feel whilst having clearly been lovingly maintained.

Adding further charm and character is a splendid Victorian-style greenhouse, which provides a wonderful feature within the garden and will appeal to gardening enthusiasts and those seeking something a little different.
