1 Bedroom Mid-Terraced House, Commercial End, Swaffham Bulbeck, CB25

Tucked away in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Swaffham Bulbeck, this charming mid-terraced cottage offers the perfect blend of period character and modern living. Ideally positioned for convenient access to both Cambridge and Newmarket, the property presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals, or those looking to downsize without compromising on style or space.

The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, featuring a striking kitchen/dining/breakfast room fitted with modern units, a Belfast sink, and French doors that open out to a beautifully landscaped rear garden. A cosy yet spacious living area is centred around a characterful Inglenook-style fireplace with a red brick surround and wood-burning stove—adding warmth and charm to the space.

Upstairs, a generously sized bedroom benefits from natural light and access to a stylish ensuite shower room. The property also holds full planning permission (ref: 22/00754/FUL) for the addition of a second bedroom, offering fantastic scope for future expansion.

The enclosed rear garden is a tranquil retreat, thoughtfully designed with an Indian sandstone patio, shingle seating area, mature flower borders, and a large timber-built shed. Additional features include a cloakroom with utility space, built-in storage, and oil-fired central heating.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, quality, and potential this delightful cottage has to offer.
