Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac in the desirable village of Melbourn, this link-detached family home offers more space than its exterior might suggest. Spanning approximately 1,062 sq ft over two floors, the property features two distinct reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with an adjoining utility space, a convenient ground-floor WC, and an integral garage, providing a versatile layout ideal for family living. The house is well-presented and ready for immediate occupancy, while the garage and generous plot present clear opportunities for future extensions or reconfigurations, subject to the usual planning consents. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a comfortable lounge, complete with a feature fireplace and a window facing the front. An archway connects the lounge to the dining room, which opens onto the garden through sliding patio doors, making it an excellent space for meals and gatherings. The kitchen boasts traditional white units and laminate worktops, equipped with a gas hob, integrated oven, and dishwasher, along with a window overlooking the garden. The adjoining utility room provides additional workspace and plumbing for a washing machine, with direct access to the rear. The first floor features a landing with a storage cupboard leading to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are spacious doubles, while the third serves well as a single bedroom, nursery, or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a bath with an overhead shower, complemented by the convenience of a ground-floor WC. Outside, the rear garden is a standout feature: an ample enclosed space primarily laid to lawn, with paved patio areas at both ends and well-stocked borders enhancing its charm. To the front, a driveway accompanies the integral garage. This comfortable home is ready for enjoyment from day one in a peaceful and established setting. With its potential for expansion and reconfiguration, it represents an excellent opportunity for families seeking a practical living space in Melbourn.

Confidence: LOW

This well-presented link-detached family home in Melbourn offers a comfortable living space with good-sized rooms and a generous garden. Priced at £440,000, it comes in slightly above the local average at £414/sqf compared to £410/sqf, which is a moderate price/value ratio. However, the home's condition is strong, featuring a fitted kitchen with modern appliances, a clean bathroom, and minimal wear throughout, making it ready to move in without immediate works.

With a flexible layout that includes two separate reception rooms and an integral garage, there is clear potential for extension or reconfiguration, subject to planning consent. The quiet cul-de-sac location adds to its appeal, offering a practical home in a sought-after village setting.
