Description
Detached Edwardian house requiring complete renovation
Total plot of circa 0.8 acres
Rural Village location
Freehold with vacant possession
A unique opportunity to purchase a detached Edwardian house which is in need of complete renovation, but offers the potential for extension or redevelopment of the property (subject to planning permission).
The original building features brick elevations beneath a pitched slate covered roof, with the previous layout featuring the following accommodation;
Ground floor - Living Room, Kitchen, Cloakroom, Hall
First floor - 3 Bedrooms and a Shower Room.
The total internal area is approximately 1000ft / 94m.
It is understood that the property is not listed, but it does lie within the Caldecote Conservation Area.
The current owner commenced renovation works, including stripping out the property and installing Helical-style supports to internal and external walls within the property. However a lack of time means that the opportunity now exists for a new buyer to undertake the works and complete the exciting project.
To the rear of the house are a collection of outbuildings including timber storage sheds, and 4 bay pole barn.
To the north west corner of the L-shaped site is understood to be the remnants of a second property, known as 'Bieldy Bungalow', for which only part of the chimney breast remains on site.
The generous plot features large areas of garden, mainly laid to grass but also featuring a number of trees, shrubs and plants, and is a true feature of the property.
Burrleigh House is in need of complete renovation but offers buyer an exciting opportunity to tailor this well located house to their needs.
Location
Burrleigh House is ideally positioned opposite the picturesque village church in the desirable Cambridgeshire village of Caldecote. The house is set back and above the road and accessed via a steeply sloping private driveway.
The hamlet of Caldecote has limited facilities but shopping and schooling can be found in the villages of Toft and Highfields Caldecote which are approximately 2 miles away, while the city of Cambridge is approximately 7 miles to the east of the property.
Auctioneer's Note
The property has been completely stripped out and is therefore not habitable in its current condition.
