Tucked back behind a gravel driveway and screened by mature trees, it sits on a generous plot with a good degree of privacy. The accommodation is comfortable and fully liveable as it stands, yet presents clear scope to update and modernise throughout — a rare chance to take a well-proportioned home in an established position and make it their own. It is offered with no upward chain.</p><p>The entrance opens into a welcoming hallway, lit by distinctive stained-glass pendants, with access branching off to the main rooms. The lounge is a bright, generous space with a wall of glazing and French doors onto the garden, and flows through a wide archway into the adjoining dining room — an easy, sociable arrangement for family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with white raised-panel units, contrasting speckled worktops, a gas hob and a built-in oven, with space for freestanding appliances and a window to the side. It offers a generous footprint and a genuine opportunity to create a modern kitchen.</p><p>All three bedrooms sit on the same level, arranged away from the living space for a degree of separation. The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite shower room, while the two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which retains a bath with shower over. Outside, the rear garden is a real asset — a good size, framed by timber fencing and mature planting, with a paved patio adjoining the house and a lawn beyond. To the front, a gravel driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the integral single garage. A well-placed home with room to grow into, in one of the village's most enduringly popular settings.</p><p><strong>At a Glance</strong><br/><strong>Type:</strong> Detached bungalow, freehold<br/><strong>Size:</strong> Approximately 1,218 sq ft, including an integral single garage<br/><strong>Bedrooms:</strong> 3<br/><strong>Bathrooms:</strong> 2 — family bathroom plus en-suite shower room to principal<br/><strong>Reception Rooms:</strong> 2 — lounge with French doors and adjoining dining room, connected by an archway<br/><strong>Kitchen:</strong> White raised-panel units, speckled worktops, gas hob and built-in oven<br/><strong>Outside:</strong> Good-size rear garden with paved patio and lawn<br/><strong>Parking:</strong> Gravel driveway and integral single garage<br/><strong>Station:</strong> Newmarket/Ely, direct services to Cambridge, London Kings Cross and Ipswich<br/><strong>Chain:</strong> No Upward Chain<br/><strong>Condition:</strong> Liveable throughout, with scope to update and modernise<br/><br/><strong>Walk Through This Home — Virtually</strong><br/>Take a 360° tour from your phone or laptop.
