Description

This 4-bedroom Grade II listed cottage, located in the attractive village of Melbourn in South Cambridgeshire, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The property is set on a spacious plot and features four reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, and downstairs bathroom, alongside four well-sized bedrooms. Notably, there are two outbuildings that hold potential for conversion into additional living space or guest accommodations, subject to planning approval. Upon entry, the home greets you with charming period details—quarry tiled flooring and exposed beams—which enhance its character. The living area includes an inviting fireplace with a wood-burning stove and flows seamlessly into a family room that could benefit from modern upgrades and personalization. The kitchen is well-appointed yet offers scope for contemporary enhancements with its existing units and range cooker. The first floor showcases four well-proportioned bedrooms complemented by integrated wardrobes. Outside, the garden is fully enclosed with established landscaping that provides a pleasant setting to unwind or entertain. Its size allows for further development possibilities (STPP). Melbourn itself is rich in community amenities and has excellent transport links to Cambridge and London. This property combines charm with significant potential for those looking to add value through thoughtful renovation or expansion.
