With the original cottages dating from around 1875, this terraced home sits within a beautiful conservation area. The property has been adapted on numerous occasions and provides generous accommodation measuring 727 Sqft /67 Sqm. Upon entering the property to the front, you enter the main living room benefitting from a sash window to the front and a chimney stack with shelving either side. To the rear of property is a large open living space including a dining room with a wood burning stove and a recently replaced kitchen in the extended part of the house. The kitchen has been fitted with shaker style units with wooden work surfaces above, feature splash back tiling, a pantry cupboard and a kitchen island with seating area to one side. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a family bathroom with panelled bath, walk in shower, low level WC and pedestal sink unit. The combi boiler was replaced in 2025 and has a 10 year warranty.
To the first floor there were previously two bedrooms which have been cleverly reconfigured by the current owner to provide three bedrooms and a WC off the master bedroom. The two front bedrooms overlook protected farmland which usually boasts lambs in Springtime, and to the rear are views over the garden towards accessible woodland and an apple orchard.
Externally – The property has a generous rear garden which has had a detached, timber-built garden studio erected which is ideal as a home office or gym. The remainder of the garden is enclosed, laid predominantly to lawn and has a courtyard area directly off the rear patio door.
Oakington and Westwick are much-admired villages just 5 miles north of Cambridge on the fringe of open countryside and with excellent local facilities available.

The A14, M11 and A1 are also within easy reach.
The property falls within the catchment area of the highly sought after Impington Village College (Ofstead rated ‘outstanding’ and recently voted Sunday Times Comprehensive School of the Year).
