The village of Fen Drayton lies approximately 9 miles from the University City of Cambridge, for history, art and culture, restaurants and shops, five miles from St Ives, a historic market town, and nine miles to Huntingdon train station. The village itself is very picturesque with the High Street being the centre and home to a quaint thatched pub. The RSPB nature reserve, Fen Drayton Lakes, well known for wetland birds, is just a short walk. The guided bus stops within the nature reserve at Fen Drayton and takes passengers to Cambridge along what was previously the train line; this service also continues to Addenbrookes Hospital and westbound to St Ives. Alongside the guided bus route is a cycle path, often used by walkers and runners alike. From the small but successful Primary school, children progress to Swavesey Village College, rated outstanding by Ofsted.

Garden

A south east facing corner plot with field and church views to the rear, professionally landscaped and designed to offer the perfect spaces to eat, relax and potter around. From the kitchen, bi fold doors lead to the patio area and a high quality pergola offers shade. Leading to an artificial lawned area with timber sleepers and a further sheltered area with door access to the garage, currently used for lounging and barbecues it also houses the potting shed. Around the corner through the bespoke gated archway and overlooking the church, is a further thoughtfully designed ornamental garden with an array of carefully selected plants and shrubs providing colour and interest throughout the year. This part of the garden, accessed from the bi fold doors in the lounge, hosts two further patio areas, for seating or outside play with a bespoke outbuilding clad to match the property with direct access through a charming gate onto the public footpath and field beyond. Along the whole rear boundary is a protected hedgerow which attracts an abundance of wildlife, with low profile picket fencing to keep the whole garden safe and secure. The land surrounding the rear of the garden with gated access to the road, perfect for an orchard or maybe a wildflower meadow, is available by separate negotiation with the vendors. The vendors have recently commissioned a bespoke composite clad garden store, plus a potting shed.
