The generous sitting room has a large fireplace, enhancing the cosy feel given by the wealth of exposed beams. The cottage has been extended to provide an additional bedroom and bathroom, as well as a study, which would be ideal as a home office. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom, each of which enjoys the wonderful garden or country views, which make this such a special place.

Sitting Room17'5" x 12' (5.3m x 3.66m). The sitting room is at the heart of the original part of the cottage. It is a generous sized room at over seventeen feet long. With a wealth of exposed beams and an attractive brick fireplace, it has a warm, cosy feel, but also has good height ceilings, giving it a feeling of space.

Hall x . A hall leads from the kitchen to the new part of the house where there is a study, bathroom and bedroom. There is also a back door leading to the garden.

Study9'3" x 9'3" (2.82m x 2.82m). A useful study provides an excellent space for working from home, or as a quiet reading room away from the rest of the house.

Garden x . The large garden is a particular special feature of this home. Like the house, it enjoys wonderful views across the fields towards Cambridge and there is a raised deck directly outside the back door to make the most of this. The rest of the garden has a natural feel to it, with informal lawns bordered by hedgerow. There is plenty of space for the several sheds that currently sit in the garden. There has been planning consent in the past for a detached garage, but this would need to be applied for again, if wanted.

Parking x . There is parking for several cars to the side of the house with gated access to the rear decking area.

Location x . Harlton is a pretty village to the west of Cambridge. It is within the catchment for Comberton Village College, which is just over three miles away and around six miles from The Leys School in the city centre. The neighbouring village of Haslingfield has a well-respected primary school. Harlton is a highly desirable Cambridge village because of its easy access to the city via the A602. Junction twelve of the M11 is just over four miles and Foxton Station, which is on the main line to London is just three miles away.
