The entrance door leads to an impressive, open plan kitchen
dining family room which is well designed to include a
comprehensive range of wall and base units, a range cooker and
under stair cupboard. Access to an inner hall provides coat storage
plus a modern ground floor shower room. Leading from the kitchen, a
pleasant garden room can be used as a dining area, with French
doors opening onto the garden. From the kitchen, stairs rise to
bedrooms one and three and the family bathroom. The cosy sitting
room forms part of the original cottage which is thought to date
back to the eighteenth century, and features the original brick
inglenook fireplace and brick weave floor, original timber beams
and stairs to bedroom two. Bedroom two is a spacious double with
bespoke inbuilt cabinetry, offering thoughtful storage solutions
within the eaves of the roof. The further first floor accommodation
comprises a main bedroom which is a generous double, also with a
range of bespoke bedroom furniture; a third single bedroom and a
modern family bathroom with P shaped bath and shower
combination.
AGENTS NOTE It is noted that when the property was purchased,
the Council treated an area of knotweed found within the garden. At
this point the vendors believe it is no longer present.
LOCATION
The popular village of Over lies approximately 10 miles 16.09
kilometres northwest of the university city of Cambridge, providing
easy access to A14 and M11. The nearest stop for the Guided Busway
is just a mile away in neighbouring Swavesey; this is a direct
route west to the market town of St Ives and south to the city of
Cambridge, stopping at the Science Park, train station and
Addenbrookes Hospital. Parallel to the Busway is a cycle path which
is also popular for runners and walkers. The community centre,
located next to a sports field and childrenās play area holds many
events such as weddings, parties and sports matches. The recently

match, walk the dog or play football. There are two preschools, a
successful primary school and Over is within the catchment for
Swavesey Village College, which was rated as outstanding by Ofsted
following their most recent inspection. Along the High Street is a
convenience store, village garage, a pub and hairdressers. A
butcher, bakery, farm shop and Co operative are located in the
neighbouring village of Willingham, as well as an antique and new
