About this property

Striking newly converted family home, with high specification finish

An impressive detached period cottage complemented by a substantial, high-spec contemporary extension, ideally positioned on an exclusive private lane serving just six homes in the highly desirable south Cambridge village of Meldreth. Set on a generous plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, the property is offered with no onward chain and enjoys a sizeable garden with attractive open views. The original cottage provides well-balanced accommodation, including a comfortable lounge, a kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom. The adjoining modern extension offers striking open-plan living space, alongside a study, utility room, cloakroom, two further double bedrooms, and a bathroom. Externally, there is a garage and extensive driveway parking for up to six vehicles. The layout offers excellent flexibility, with the option to use the cottage as a self-contained annexe or to integrate both elements into one spacious family home.

Approached from the front, the property presents an attractive frontage, with the period cottage positioned to the left and the contemporary addition to the right. A generous driveway provides ample off-road parking for both sections of the home, complemented by a lawned garden and established hedging to ensure a good degree of privacy.

Inside the contemporary extension

, the entrance hall makes an immediate impression, featuring vaulted ceilings, sleek modern finishes, and expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing that floods the space with natural light. Polished concrete flooring, recessed lighting, and a striking wood-clad staircase enhance the contemporary feel, while integrated storage and space for furnishings add practicality. The home is also equipped with a smart system, including a built-in Sonos sound setup serving the main living areas. From here, there is access to a generous study space and the main open-plan living accommodation.
