Property Description
Forming part of a unique terrace of cottages, the property was carefully and sensitively renovated about 16 years ago. The cottages are all maintained to a very high standard by a management company, which is responsible for the whole terrace and ensures that the gardens and all the cottages will remain well maintained in the future.
The cottage is both cosy and beautifully maintained throughout and has numerous character features including exposed timbers, pretty windows and an impressive inglenook fireplace. The property is set behind lovely communal gardens which are laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. There is a traditional front door opening to a well-equipped, fully integrated kitchen, fitted with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer; there is also space for a large range cooker. The adjacent sitting / dining room is dominated by a stunning, brick inglenook fireplace and is dual aspect, with a door to the staircase.
On the first floor there is a generous bedroom featuring a painted brick chimney breast. There is also a dressing room and a spacious en-suite bathroom fitted with a bath, w.C and hand-basin.
The property has one parking space and a brick-built outbuilding suitable for bike storage.
The property is leasehold with 983 years left on the lease. Management fees are currently set at £168 per calendar month and this covers garden maintenance, general repairs, buildings and contents insurance and electricity for communal areas. The money also contributes to a fund to cover major works such as thatch repairs.
Melbourn is popular, larger, historic south Cambridgeshire village about 7 miles south of the city between the A10 and A505.
Facilities in the village are excellent and the community is thriving. There is a broad range of local shops, services and healthcare, The Hub which is a superb community building and coffee shop, primary schools and Melbourn Village College, which is part of the Comberton Academy Trust.
The village has its own 17 acre Science Park, home to a broad range of companies and it's own sports centre with a 20 metre pool and gym.
For commuters the A10 and A505 give excellent road access. Meldreth Railway Station (Cambridge c. 18 mins, London Kings Cross c. 69 mins) is less than a mile away with a pleasant cycle and pedestrian route to it.
