Property Insight
Arranged across three floors in a quiet residential close in Melbourn, this mid-terrace townhouse offers almost 990 sq ft of well-planned accommodation, with each floor given its own role. The ground floor holds the living space and Kitchen, the first floor carries two bedrooms and the family bathroom, and the top floor is devoted entirely to the principal bedroom. The standout feature is the rear garden - long, fully enclosed and backing onto a line of mature trees - with allocated parking directly to the front. Meldreth station is within walking distance and Royston's fast services to London Kings Cross are a short drive away, making this a sensible choice for commuters and growing families. The property is offered with no upward chain.

The front door opens into an entrance hall with wood-effect flooring, the staircase rising ahead and a cloakroom tucked to one side. The kitchen sits to the front, fitted with oak-effect shaker-style units, granite-effect worktops and a stainless steel splashback, with a built-in oven, gas hob and extractor, space for a washing machine, a tiled floor and recessed spotlights. To the rear, the lounge continues the wood-effect flooring and opens onto the patio through French doors, so the garden becomes an extension of the room in warmer months. A glass block panel in the wall between the two rooms draws borrowed light through the floor.

On the first floor, the full-width second bedroom takes two windows overlooking the garden and treeline, with the third bedroom to the front. The family bathroom has a white suite, a shower over the bath with a glass screen and tiling to the walls and floor. The whole top floor forms the principal bedroom, with dormer windows front and rear, a run of high-gloss fitted wardrobes under the eaves and a separate storage cupboard. Outside, the garden is laid mainly to lawn, with a paved patio beside the house, a path running its length and established borders alongside. A well-arranged family home in a village with schooling from pre-school to secondary on the doorstep.

Location – Melbourn
Melbourn is a large parish village in the far southwest of Cambridgeshire, 3 miles from Royston and 11 miles from Cambridge. It has a long history of occupation stemming from the springs and the River Mel, which rises at Melbourn Bury and runs clear and shallow over chalk and gravel. There are many countryside walks, including several ancient trackways crossing the parish. Melbourn is a bustling village offering two village shops, a pharmacy, doctor's and dentist surgeries, two traditional pubs, the highly regarded Sheene Mill restaurant and hotel, and a spa opposite. There are a number of parks and a wide range of clubs for all ages. Schooling runs from pre-school options through primary to secondary within the village, and there are two churches, including All Saints' Church, dating from the 13th Century. Meldreth station is within walking distance, Royston's mainline station offers fast services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross, and the A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive.
