Summary - 4 The Lakes, Twentypence Road, Cottenham CB24 8PP
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious six-bedroom renovated detached house with lake views and annex potential..
Six bedrooms and four bathrooms across spacious 3,940 sq ft (approx).
Recently renovated interior with oak doors, staircase and modern kitchen.
Ground-floor area previously used as self-contained annexe; convertible.
Plot just over 0.5 acres with landscaped gardens and private lake frontage.
Double garage with electric door, gated gravel driveway, off-street parking.
EPC rating D; property uses LPG boiler (not mains gas) — higher running costs.
Built 1976–82; cavity walls assumed partially insulated (may need upgrade).
Private right of way across neighbouring field to public footpath/river access.
Set on just over half an acre with private lake frontage, this recently renovated six-bedroom detached home delivers generous family living and clear multi‑generational potential. The house was modernised throughout with oak fittings, a fitted kitchen with island, multiple reception rooms and a ground-floor space previously used as a self-contained annexe. Four bathrooms, a double garage with power and gated gravel parking add practical convenience.
The property sits in a small private development in Cottenham, a popular village with good schools and regular services to Cambridge and Ely. Large windows and four sets of French doors frame lake views from the main living areas; a private right of way through a neighbouring field provides direct footpath access to the nearby river. Broadband speeds are fast; mobile signal is average.
Notable constraints are factual: the home uses LPG heating (not mains gas), the EPC rating is D, and the property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with cavity walls assumed partly insulated. The annexe area is flexible but may need reconfiguration depending on intended use. Chain free sale and low flood/crime risk are practical advantages.
This house will suit larger families seeking space and lakeside character, couples wanting dedicated home‑working areas, or buyers planning a multi‑generational layout or rental annexe. Buyers should factor in ongoing running costs for LPG heating and consider an EPC upgrade or insulation improvements to reduce future energy bills.
