4 Bedroom Detached House, Station Road, Willingham, CB24

A high spec self-build in 2013, with high levels of insulation throughout, underfloor heating on the ground floor, and solar panels (both PV and hot water).

The entrance porch provides a secure and practical introduction to the property, offering space for coats and shoes, and leading into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a ground-floor WC. Enjoying views of and with direct access to the garden, the thoughtfully designed kitchen/dining room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, incorporating a built-in oven, gas hob with extractor hood over, and space for a fridge/freezer. A particularly desirable feature is the walk-in pantry, complemented by a separate utility room with additional storage and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a second access to the garden. The generous sitting room is a light and inviting space, featuring double doors opening onto the patio, ideal for indoor-outdoor living. In addition, there is a second reception room, currently utilised as a home office, complete with a range of built-in storage cupboards and a fitted desk.

The bedroom accommodation is well-positioned away from the main living areas, providing a sense of privacy. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefitting from air conditioning units, which are included within the sale. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, incorporating a vanity unit with built-in storage and a shower over the bath. The principal bedroom is further enhanced by an en suite shower room with a double shower enclosure, as well as a highly sought-after walk-in dressing room with bespoke fitted storage. There is also an airing cupboard by the main bathroom.

The first floor offers a versatile and self-contained space, comprising a large double bedroom with built-in eaves storage, a landing, and a shower room. This level is ideally suited for use as a guest suite or for an older child or dependent relative.

OUTSIDE AND PARKING

The property is set well back from the road within a private and enclosed plot extending to approximately 0.25 acre in total. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and features a pond and summer house, creating an attractive outdoor setting. A detached double garage provides power and useful overhead storage. In addition, there is a detached and insulated home office, currently used as a hobby room, offering excellent flexibility as a studio or workspace. The property also benefits from solar panels which benefit from the government's generous Feed-in-Tariff, generating tax-free income until 2034, paying out just over £1,000 last year, and this will transfer to a new owner.
