The property opens into a welcoming sitting room, where a double-glazed sash window provides plenty of natural light. A brick fireplace with matching hearth and freestanding stove-style fire creates an attractive focal point and adds to the cottage feel and a limestone-style tiled floor continues through to the well-planned kitchen. From here, a door leads through to the kitchen/dining room, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units topped with solid wood butcher's block work surfaces. A ceramic Butler sink and tiled splashbacks add further character, while there is space for a cooker and a useful cupboard housing the boiler. Stairs rise from the kitchen to the first floor.
A rear lobby provides access to the ground-floor bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower attachment, WC and hand basin. There is also a separate utility room with plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as space for a fridge/freezer. French doors open directly onto the rear garden.
Upstairs, the landing leads to two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double with a double glazed sash window to the front, while the second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from built-in wardrobe and additional storage space.
Outside, the property enjoys the valuable benefit of a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for one vehicle. To the rear is a particularly attractive cottage-style garden, featuring a patio seating area with steps leading to the lawn. Well-stocked perennial borders, mature hedging and a charming rose archway create a colourful and established outdoor space, with fencing and hedging providing the boundaries.
Combining cottage character, practical accommodation, off-road parking and a beautiful garden, this lovely home is well worth viewing.
LOCATION
Swavesey is a highly sought-after village, ideally located close to the A14 and directly connected to Cambridge and St Ives via the Guided Busway. The Busway offers fast and reliable public transport, as well as one of the region’s best off-road cycle routes, providing safe and direct access to Cambridge Science Park, North Cambridge, and the city centre. Rail access is easily available nearby. Cambridge North, Cambridge Central, Waterbeach, and Huntingdon stations can all be reached conveniently by car or via the Guided Busway, which provides a direct link into Cambridge. From these stations, there are frequent services to London, Ely, Peterborough, and Stansted Airport, making Swavesey a practical choice for commuters.
The village benefits from a welcoming and active community, supported by an excellent range of local amenities. These include a primary school, village shop, post office services, coffee shop, pub and a community hall, public sports facilities are available at the village college. There are fishing lakes, scenic walking routes, and a nearby nature reserve known as Drayton Lakes RSPB reserve, which further enhances Swavesey’s appeal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and nature.
Swavesey Primary School is well regarded locally, while the village is particularly well known for Swavesey Village College — one of Cambridgeshire’s top-performing secondary schools, rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The safe and convenient cycle route along the Guided Busway makes it especially easy for students to travel independently and securely.
