4 bed detached house for sale

The Common, West Wratting, Cambridge CB21

A pretty period home, providing 2033 sqft (189 sqm) of beautifully presented accommodation, set on the edge of the village, with stunning, far reaching views over open countryside. The property has a generous garden, double garage, and off road parking and has achieved an unexpected 'B' rated EPC.

The cottage has many charming and characterful features, such as exposed timbers and pretty fireplaces, which seamlessly blend with all the modern comforts expected in a contemporary home, including a stunning kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and underfloor heating throughout. The property has not been listed, so does not have the restrictions which are so often associated with this kind of property and it has also been fitted with solar panels and an air source heat pump, which have allowed it to achieve an unexpectedly high B' rated EPC.

Approached over a gravel driveway which provides parking and gives access to the garage, the front door is set beneath a pretty thatched canopy, with the door opening into the kitchen/diner. The Kitchen/diner is dual aspect and beautifully fitted with high quality cabinets, a butler sink, an integrated dishwasher, and an Aga. There is a lovely natural wood floor and plenty of space for a table and chairs. The adjacent sitting room has a beautiful brick fireplace, inset with a stove and there is a characterful, internal window that shares light between this and the study at the far end. At the other end of the kitchen, there is a larger sitting/dining room overlooking the garden and fields beyond and this again has a lovely fireplace fitted with a stove, and there are exposed timbers.

On the ground floor, there is also a luxurious cloakroom and a large utility/boot room which again is extensively fitted with high quality cabinets and has a second butler sink and space for a washing machine and further appliances.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms, three of which have fabulous open views and there is a luxurious family bathroom fitted with a bath,
separate shower enclosure, w.c., and hand-basin. The main bedroom is a real feature of this lovely home and has a modern en-suite, fitted wardrobes and it enjoys a Juliet balcony with stunning open views.

Outside there are colourful, well maintained gardens, with shrub borders set around an area of lawn, and a patio adjacent to the house.

The garage is fitted with power and has a wired internet connection.

The property benefits from high speed internet. It also has photovoltaic panels and sells its excess electricity back to the grid on a fit (feed in tariff) scheme. The property received a £1500 repayment from the scheme last year.

West Wratting is a well-regarded village, apparently rated second highest in Cambridgeshire, and is conveniently located for access to the centres of Cambridge, Saffron Walden, and Newmarket all of which are about 11 miles equidistant.

It is within the catchment of Balsham Primary School, which feeds into Linton Village College, with a school bus stop nearby on the High Street.

Within the village, there is a church, pub, and sports field, whilst Balsham which is a short drive away provides a post office store and a lovely coffee shop. There are more extensive day-to-day facilities including a small supermarket, doctor's surgery, hairdressers, pubs, and cafés in Linton, which is about 5 miles southwest.
