Coton is a quiet village situated just over 2 miles west of the City centre and surrounded by gently undulating countryside. Road connections are excellent: Junctions 12 and 13 of the M11 are close by, and the City can be reached in a few minutes driving either via the Madingley or Barton Roads. Alternatively, thanks to the famous Coton footpath, the Backs of the Colleges are within enjoyable cycling distance. The village is consequently very popular in University circles due to its close proximity to the principal Colleges, West Cambridge Campus, and other University departments. A new Sainsbury's supermarket, nursery, and state-of-the-art cultural centre are all within easy reach in Eddington. There are also two 18 holes golf courses nearby.
The property enjoys a fine, tucked away corner position on this very tranquil no-through road, located just a short walk from the village primary school. The property boasts a generous mature corner plot with front, side and rear gardens backing onto fields to the rear. The current owner has transformed the house with a programme of expansion and improvements, resulting in generously proportioned and well planned accommodation arranged over two floors. The house is bathed in natural light, thanks to large - high-efficiency windows. A digitally controlled heat exchange system ensures excellent ventilation throughout the property and limits heat loss in the winter. The house is accessed through a spacious entrance hall with solid wood flooring and stairs to first floor accommodation. The kitchen is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample working surfaces, one and half sink unit with mixer tap, integrated 4-ring gas hob with extractor fan, built-in electric oven and microwave, and integrated under counter fridge. The kitchen opens to the dining room, which in turn gives access to the sitting room equipped with a modern wood burning stove. From the sitting room one reaches a garden room extension with views over the side and rear gardens, plus a door to the garage. The former outbuildings to the rear, which are accessed from the hallway, have been converted to a handy laundry and utility wing that contains the property's gas fired central heating boiler, a cloakroom WC with shower area, space for a washing machine, and two generous storage rooms. Upstairs there are three good size bedrooms, a family bathroom. The bedrooms all boast bespoke wardrobe cupboards and newly installed high-insulation windows with continental style built-in roller shutters. A well insulated loft offers additional storage space.
Outside, the front garden is laid to lawn, screened from the road by hedging. To the side there is a driveway, which leads to the garage with electric up and over door, power and light connected. The side and rear gardens, enclosed by hedging with fields to the rear, offer a high level of seclusion and are predominantly laid to lawn, with flower and shrub borders and beds. There is also a small orchard area with mature apple, pear and quince trees. A south-facing covered terrace is ideal for alfresco dining.
