Nestled on the outskirts of Orwell, this well-maintained three-bedroom detached home offers not only picturesque countryside views but also substantial renovation potential for the discerning buyer. Spanning over 1,260 sq ft, the property showcases a modern and spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, complete with high-quality finishes and underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump. The design features include three inviting bedrooms, a principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom, and additional family shower facilities. The exterior is equally striking with a secure electric sliding gate leading to an expansive block-paved driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles alongside a detached single garage. The property’s curb appeal is enhanced by contemporary architectural elements set against lush landscaping. The rear garden stands out as a generous outdoor space that invites further development; possibilities include extending the home or converting existing structures such as the garage or pergola into functional living spaces tailored to your needs. With strategic planning permissions, the potential for growth in this tranquil setting is significant. Beyond the immediate charms of the home lies the vibrant community of Orwell, providing access to local amenities and idyllic rural scenery while remaining conveniently close to Cambridge and Royston.
