A newly renovated two-double-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering easy, low-maintenance living in the popular village of Over. The home is presented in move-in condition with a modern kitchen and bathroom, double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C — sensible running costs for retirement or first-time ownership. The compact footprint (approximately 667 sq ft / 53 sqm) makes upkeep straightforward, and the rear garden is laid to artificial turf with a paved patio and large timber shed.
The layout is traditional and practical: an entrance hall leads to two generous double bedrooms (one with built-in storage), a comfortable sitting room overlooking the front garden, and a well-planned modern kitchen with access to the rear garden. Additional storage is provided by a walk-in cupboard with space for a tumble dryer and an airing cupboard in the bathroom.
Location is a key strength: Over provides village amenities within walking distance — doctors, high street shops and community facilities — while the Guided Busway (nearby) offers direct links to Cambridge, the Science Park and stations. The area is very low in crime, very affluent and benefits from fast broadband, making this bungalow suitable for those wanting a quiet, well-connected base.
Notable considerations: parking is on-street only and the small plot size suits buyers seeking low-maintenance outside space rather than extensive gardens. Part of the garden is leased from the council at £50 per year and there is a small annual ground rent of £50. Buyers should note the property was built in the 1980s and, while recently renovated, some fixtures and fittings may be standard rather than premium.
