Tucker Gardner Estate Agents are delighted to be instructed to bring on to the market this delightful 2 Bed Cottage in the sought after village of Whittlesford.
Whittlesford is a charming riverside village renowned for its attractive period homes, situated approximately 7½ miles south of Cambridge and around 8 miles north of Saffron Walden. In recent years, the village has become highly sought-after with commuters, thanks to its fast and regular rail service providing access to London Liverpool Street in under an hour.
The village enjoys a thriving community atmosphere, centred around “The Lawn” recreation ground with tennis courts and open green space. Local amenities include a village shop and the well-regarded The Tickell Arms public house. For road users, Junction 10 of the M11 is within approximately 2 miles, offering excellent connectivity to London, Stansted Airport and the wider region.
Orchard Terrace is discreetly positioned between the High Street and West End, within comfortable walking distance of village amenities. The property occupies an end-of-terrace position in a row of just three cottages and enjoys a peaceful setting approached via a pedestrian pathway.
This delightful cottage has been comprehensively modernised, including a refitted kitchen and bathroom and the installation of gas-fired central heating. Particular care has been taken to preserve the property’s inherent character, with features such as exposed beams, sash windows and an attractive brick fireplace enhancing the charm of the principal reception room.
