A well-presented two-bedroom period cottage tucked on a quiet no-through lane in Haslingfield, six miles from Cambridge. Recent works — a new roof, refitted bathroom and new gas boiler — make the house move-in ready and comfortable, with gas central heating to radiators and an EPC C (70).
The ground floor offers a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a fitted kitchen and a bright second reception/dining room with a skylight and French doors to a private, low-maintenance courtyard garden. Two double bedrooms upstairs include a master with an exposed brick chimney feature.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, double glazing and freehold tenure with a low Council Tax Band B. The village location provides easy access to local amenities, a highly regarded primary school and good commuter links to Cambridge, nearby rail stations and the M11.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the plot is small (c.0.02 acres) and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so further thermal upgrades could be desirable. The area records above-average crime and broadband speeds are only average. These factors make the cottage especially suitable for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a characterful, low-upkeep village home rather than someone requiring extensive outside space or high-tech connectivity.
