A versatile detached home set well back from the road in a generous plot, with a south facing garden, and a high quality, detached, self contained annexe.
Approached over a driveway to the side of number 554 Newmarket Road, there is a vehicular access to the rear of the house where there is parking and secure gates that give access into the rear garden. The property is well maintained and has been re-roofed, with new soffits, facia boards, gutters and downpipes fitted. The garden has also been professionally landscaped and secure electric gates fitted. The property benefits from a C rated EPC making it economical to run and it is set in a convenient location for access to the A14, whilst Cambridge North is a 10-15 minute walk or a 5 minute cycle away.
The property is approached over beautiful landscaped gardens with a block paved path leading to a patio adjacent to the house and there is an area of lawn, and well stocked shrub borders. The front door is on the side of the building and opens to a welcoming hallway that in turn leads to all the principal rooms. There is a very generous sitting room at the front of the building with twin bay windows overlooking the front garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets set above and below the working surfaces, and there is space for a cooker, dishwasher and under counter fridge. The conservatory/dining room is off the kitchen and has an internal window that shares the light between the two rooms, there is a built in cupboard, further under counter cabinets with an integrated washing machine and fridge, and bi-fold doors open to the rear garden and provide lovely views. The kitchen currently extends into a study area, which could equally be useful for many other purposes such as a formal dining room or playroom.
On the ground floor there is also the principle bedroom which has built in wardrobes to one wall and there is a modern shower room fitted with a shower, w.c., and hand-basin.
On the first floor the landing has a roof light that provides natural light over the stairwell, there are two further double rooms both with storage into the eaves, and a bathroom fitted with a bath with shower over, w.c., and handbasin.
Outside the annexe provides bright modern, self contained accommodation, with underfloor heating. There is a large living space with a modern kitchen fitted with a built in oven, hob and an integrated fridge. A roof light provides lots of natural light and there is plenty of space for a bed and a sitting area. There is also a modern shower room fitted with a walk in shower, w.c., and handbasin. Adjoining the annexe there is a generous storage room with a wide garage door.
The property has generous gardens to the front and rear. The front garden is laid to lawn with colourful shrub borders that screen the property from the road and there is a stunning rear garden that has been professionally landscaped with lawn, a ceramic patio, terracing and mature, thoughtfully planted borders. High quality, remote controlled electric gates give access to a large area of block paving and together with new fencing add to the sense of privacy and security within the garden.
The property backs onto the carpark for Cambridge United Football Ground, during matches the parking is well organised with plenty of stewards to reduce disruption to the residents. The stadium lights can be seen from the rear of the property during training and matches and some crowd noise may be heard in the garden.

There is primary schooling at Abbey which feeds into Coleridge Community College, which is part of the Parkside Federation.
It is equally convenient to get out of town, with a pleasant walk or cycle of about a mile leading to Fen Ditton with its traditional and riverside pubs and Junction 34 of the A14 within 2 miles.
