Summary - 18, POTT HALL ROAD IP28 8PL
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom cottage on a large plot with stunning rural views and renovation potential.
Beautiful field views and large rear garden (approx 0.6 acre)
Set well back from the lane with sweeping field views, this traditional flint-and-brick cottage sits on a very large plot (circa 0.6 acre) and offers genuine family-space across three reception rooms and five bedrooms. Ground-floor accommodation includes a bedroom and shower room, useful for guests or multi-generational living. The mature garden, outbuildings and long shingled drive with ample parking give scope for outdoor living and practical storage.
The house retains period character — exposed flint and brickwork, bay windows and moulded cornices — but also shows its age in places. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; glazing is secondary. Construction is solid brick without modern cavity insulation, so buyers should expect ongoing running costs and potential retrofit work to improve thermal performance.
Practical considerations include a private drainage/septic arrangement, very slow broadband speeds and above-average council tax banding. The location is rural with low crime and straightforward road links toward Cambridge, making it appealing for commuters who value space and countryside living, but not for those needing fast internet or town-centre convenience.
This property suits a family seeking a character home with large outdoor space and scope to modernise energy performance and services. It also offers renovation potential for buyers wanting to add value, subject to planning for any major changes.
