Orchard Cottage is a substantial, double‑fronted family house built in 2019 and set within about 0.71 acre of private grounds. The accommodation extends to 2,164 sq ft and is arranged over two floors, with large principal reception rooms and four double bedrooms — the principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling, en suite and far‑reaching countryside views. The house has modern comforts including integrated kitchen appliances, a log‑burning stove in the sitting room and underfloor heating supported by a gas boiler.
The plot is a significant part of the appeal: level to gently sloping lawns, post‑and‑rail paddocks and mature boundary planting provide strong privacy and potential for hobby‑equestrian use or smallholding. Terraced seating areas adjoin the house and the elevated position offers open views to the south and west. A garage with storage and private driveway parking are included.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property occupies a semi‑rural/hamlet setting so buyers should note the more isolated location despite good road and rail links into Cambridge and London. Prospective purchasers should also confirm legal access, exact plot boundaries and any planning/designation constraints before purchase.
This house will suit families or buyers seeking a country retreat close to Cambridge — it combines contemporary construction with traditional farmhouse styling and generous outdoor amenity. Its size and grounds offer flexibility for lifestyle uses, but buyers should factor in connectivity and running costs when deciding if the plot meets their long‑term needs.
