3 bed detached house for sale

Goldfinch Drive, Cottenham, Cambridge CB24

Available to purchase with the benefit of no onward chain is this four-bedroom family home located within easy reach of the many amenities nestled within the High Street.

This four-bedroom detached home, originally constructed in approximately 1999, and unusually for a modern home, it is particularly well-proportioned and offers high ceilings throughout providing that sense of space. The property was subsequently extended to provide a modern conservatory adjoining the kitchen/dining room. The property occupies a desirable and quiet position within this popular residential area of Cottenham and offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, together with a generous driveway, carport, garage and a private, enclosed rear garden.

The property is approached via a spacious entrance hall, providing a welcoming first impression and access to the principal ground floor accommodation. A useful cloakroom/WC is situated off the hallway, whilst stairs rise to the first floor with useful storage beneath. The living room is a comfortable and well-proportioned reception space, featuring a large bay window to the front elevation which provides an attractive outlook and allows plenty of natural light into the room.

To the rear of the property is a generous kitchen/dining room, fitted with a replacement Shaker-style kitchen offering a range of wall and base level units together with ample work surface and storage provision. Opening directly from the kitchen/dining room is a modern conservatory, creating an additional reception space with a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. Bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio, providing a seamless connection between the house and garden and making the space particularly well suited to entertaining during the warmer months.

The first floor provides four bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom is a generous double bedroom and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. A further double bedroom is complemented by two well-proportioned single bedrooms, providing flexibility for family living, children’s bedrooms, a home office or occasional guest accommodation. Completing the first floor is a family bathroom suite with panelled bath and shower above.

Externally, to the front the property benefits from a tandem driveway providing off-road parking beneath a useful carport. The driveway continues through to a generously proportioned, brick-built garage beneath a pitched roof, which benefits from storage space in the eaves and both power and lighting.

The rear garden is south-facing, enclosed and enjoys a high level of privacy. It is predominantly laid to lawn, with established herbaceous borders providing colour and interest to the side. A paved patio area immediately adjoining the conservatory and accessed via the bi-folding doors provides an excellent outdoor entertaining space, ideal for dining and relaxing during the warmer months.
