Set in the peaceful hamlet of Cardinals Green, this three double-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a generous plot with uninterrupted countryside views. The ground floor offers flexible living with a living room, open kitchen/dining area, sunny conservatory and three versatile reception spaces that suit family life and entertaining. A large rear garden includes three patios and a substantial garden room with attached workshop — ideal for a home office, gym or hobbies.
Practical features include off-road parking, a utility room, modern ground-floor shower room, a boarded loft with a skylight and potential for conversion (subject to planning), plus attractive finishes such as oak flooring and granite worktops. There is also an indicated rental potential of around £1,650 pcm for investors or homeowners seeking income support.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply) and the EPC rating is F. Broadband speeds are reported slow for the area, and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could affect running costs. Any loft conversion or major alterations would require the usual planning and building consents.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful family home in an affluent rural area, offering excellent outdoor space and sensible scope to add value through sympathetic improvements and insulation upgrades. It will suit families seeking countryside tranquillity with reasonable road and bus links to Haverhill, Saffron Walden and Cambridge.
