Description
A rare opportunity to acquire this delightful three-bedroom detached bungalow, set within approximately 12.3 acres in a picturesque rural location on Twentypence Road, Cottenham. Offering an exceptional countryside lifestyle whilst remaining within easy reach of the village's amenities, this unique property combines spacious accommodation, extensive grounds and an excellent range of outbuildings.
The property is approached via a gated entrance, opening onto a generous frontage with ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The front garden is attractively laid to lawn with a variety of mature fruit trees, while the gardens extend around the property to create a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
The grounds extend to approximately 12.3 acres, incorporating a generous enclosed rear garden with attractive views across adjoining meadowland. Beyond the garden lies additional grazing land, with the property's barn and stabling making it particularly appealing to those with equestrian interests. A stream borders the rear of the land, further enhancing the peaceful rural setting. The grounds also include a substantial open-fronted barn incorporating two stables and a covered machinery store, secure outdoor kennels, and a large detached porta-cabin, currently unused, offering excellent additional storage or ancillary space.
The bungalow can be entered via either the front entrance or the practical side entrance, with an extensive block-paved driveway providing further parking and convenient access.
At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/dining room, offering ample space for a family dining table alongside a breakfast bar seating area. The kitchen is fitted with an integrated oven and grill, electric hob, generous worktop space and an excellent range of cupboards, with dual-aspect windows filling the room with natural light. Tiled flooring completes this practical and welcoming space.
Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing additional storage, a sink, space for appliances, a front-facing window and a convenient side entrance.
The generous lounge enjoys beautiful views over the rear garden and surrounding meadowland, creating a relaxing and peaceful living space. A feature wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and adds warmth and character to the room.
Leading from the lounge is a versatile office, which could equally serve as a formal dining room, hobby room or additional reception space. This room also benefits from direct access to the rear garden.
The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms One and Two are double rooms, each benefitting from built-in wardrobes and storage cupboards. Bedroom Three is a comfortable single bedroom, also featuring built-in wardrobes and cupboards. Bedrooms One and Three enjoy delightful views across the rear garden and surrounding countryside.
The family bathroom comprises a panelled bath with overhead shower and a wash hand basin with vanity storage, with a separate WC providing additional convenience.
To the rear of the property is a converted detached garage, now providing a highly versatile multi-purpose room with loft storage above. Offering flexible accommodation, this space is ideal as a cinema room, games room, home office, hobby room or additional storage, depending on individual requirements.
Occupying a superb rural position and offering a unique combination of spacious accommodation, extensive grounds, equestrian facilities and versatile outbuildings, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy countryside living whilst remaining close to the amenities of Cottenham.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique home has to offer.
