An exceptional, contemporary
home, meticulously built to exacting standards, with clean lines
and simple, classic design features which emphasise the quality of
the materials and workmanship, while allowing the space, light, and
views over the garden to take centre stage. Beautifully constructed
with flashes of brick wall to add interest, Oak doors and floors to
provide warmth, and lots of glass to bring in the light, the house
features a wealth of natural materials that add to the sense of
understated luxury.
Copper Lodge enjoys an enviable setting, tucked away from the
road to the rear of this exclusive development of just five, high
quality homes. The property provides an unrivaled sense of security
and privacy, yet is close to local amenities.
Set within a generous, private plot of approaching a quarter
of an acre, Copper Lodge blends beauty, comfort, and functionality
to provide wonderful living spaces for a family to interact and
enjoy. The property is exceptionally comfortable and spacious,
extending to 316 sqm 3404 sqft , with accommodation set over two
floors. There are four double bedrooms, two of which are large with
luxurious en suites and the house benefits from category 5
networking throughout.
The contemporary design of the property utilises large glass
panels, double height floor to ceiling windows, and bi fold doors
to maximise the light within the building. The rooms are elegantly
proportioned and there are thoughtful features including an
impressive entrance area with bespoke fitted storage and on the
first floor there is a glorious galleried landing, with views over
the garden and the living space below.
Approached over a wide driveway that provides parking for
several vehicles, the front door opens to a large expansive living
space dominated by a striking, double height, glass and oak, gable
end wall that overlooks the garden and floods the room with natural
light. The kitchen is beautifully fitted and fully integrated with
Siemens appliances, there are lovely quartz surfaces and a Quooker
hot tap provides instant hot water. The room has three zones with
space for a large table and chairs adjacent to the bi fold doors
and a cosy sitting family area tucked to the side of the kitchen.
The adjacent utility room has space and plumbing for a washing
machine and drier and leads to the plant room that houses the hot
water tank etc.
On the ground floor, there is also a modern cloakroom, a cosy
study with a door giving direct access to the garden, and an
impressive sitting room with a vaulted ceiling. The sitting room is
an elegant room, with a beautiful fireplace inset with a log
burner, natural wood flooring, and doors and windows extending
along the length of one wall and provide views over the
garden.
On the first floor, the galleried landing is a lovely place to
pause, read a book, or relax and there are views over the front of
the house and the main garden. There are four good bedrooms, the
principal room is dual aspect, with a luxurious en suite bathroom,
comprising of a large shower enclosure, w.c., and hand basin and
there is ample storage provided by a fitted wardrobe as well as a
walk in wardrobe. There is a second en suite room which again has
fitted wardrobes and is a very generously proportioned double. The
two smaller double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes.
Outside the principal garden is private and laid to lawn with
a wide path that runs around the side of the house to a small
terrace and in the far corner the ‘Bat House‘ is a protected
structure that doubles up as a lovely covered area ideal for
dining, entertaining or enjoying a drink at the end of a busy day.
The property benefits from gardens to the front, side, and rear and
features a well set within the lawn. A large, hard landscaped
parking area to the front of the property leads to the double
garage.

Fowlmere village has its own primary school, playgroup,
popular historic pub restaurant, Indian restaurant, church, and
village hall with neighbouring playing fields and tennis court. The
RSPB reserve is a lovely place, as is the handsome village
recreation ground.
Locals are also very fond of The Round Moat which is tucked
away in the middle of the village and is an English Heritage
Scheduled Ancient Monument. Various footpaths and bridleways cross
the countryside around the village and link it to its
neighbours.
Its one of those villages that is sensibly placed so you dont
have to go too far for your day to day needs, but its far enough
off the main routes to feel pleasant and peaceful. Its about 6
miles south west of the city boundary and the Addenbrookes hospital
campus, sitting between the A505 and A10 so is easy to get at from
either direction. Junction 10 of the M11 is less than 4 miles east
of the village and junction 11 about 5 miles north.
There are train stations at Foxton, Shepreth, Royston and
Cambridge all within easy reach providing access to Liverpool
Street and Kings Cross. The fast train from Royston to Kings Cross
is a sub 40 minute journey.
While Duxford has the more famous airfield and museum 3.5
miles Fowlmere has its very own grass landing strip.
The surrounding villages have excellent further facilities
including lots of day to day shops, garden centres and a secondary
school in Melbourn 3 miles , a wildlife park in Shepreth 2 miles ,
a golf club at Heydon Grange 2 miles . Royston is great for big
supermarkets and the like and is about 6 miles away.
