Summary - 8 ELSTOW CLOSE OVER CAMBRIDGE CB24 5LU
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Detached three-bedroom house with flexible ground-floor fourth bedroom/office
This extended three-bedroom detached house on a corner plot in Over offers practical family living with scope to adapt. The ground-floor former garage provides a flexible fourth bedroom or home office, while the open-plan living/family/dining space centres on a picture window and log-burning stove—ideal for cosy evenings and informal entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room with a walk-in pantry and French doors to the garden is a strong everyday asset for families.
Outside, the private, well-stocked garden and paved patio with pergolas create appealing outdoor living and gardening opportunities. Block-paved driveway provides off-street parking for two to three cars. The location benefits from village amenities, nearby countryside walks and direct access to the Guided Busway, making commuting to Cambridge straightforward. Swavesey Village College falls within the school catchment—a key draw for buyers prioritising secondary education.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of D and the garage conversion means there is no original garage space. The glazing install date is unknown and walls/insulation are presumed timber-frame as built in the 1980s, which could prompt buyers to check construction and energy-efficiency details. The main bathroom serves all bedrooms (single bathroom), which may be a consideration for larger families.
Overall, this home suits families or buyers seeking a well-located, adaptable house with garden space and good transport links. It presents comfortable ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear potential for incremental improvement and energy upgrades over time.
