OUTSIDE AND PARKING

The rear garden is laid to artificial turf for low maintenance and is fully enclosed. An original brick barn with tiled roof and power connected, offers either storage or the potential to be converted into a home office, gym or workshop. A gated access to the additional parcel of land which is located at the rear of the two cottages and is a fantastic area, away from the road, for children to play or equally as many neighbours do, extend their garden or grow vegetables.

LOCATION

Swavesey itself has a diverse community and is popular with families, due to the successful Primary School and Outstanding Ofsted-rated Village College. There is a convenience store with Post Office and a thatched village shop situated in an historic market square, as well as various churches, a coffee shop, butchers and farm shop and a public house serving a wide range of real ales. On the green sits an attractive pavilion, used by the community. Swavesey is also fortunate to have the wonderful RSPB nature reserve at Fen Drayton lakes leading to miles of walks along the river and a stop for the guided bus. With the completion of the expansion to the A14, residents now benefit from better-flowing traffic, cycle paths and additional local byroads. The village also has a stop for the guided bus, which travels through the nature reserve to St Ives and Cambridge city centre and Addenbrookes. Parallel to the track is a cycle path which is popular for runners, cyclists and walkers.
