FINE & COUNTRY

Magpie Cottage is a beautifully presented and extended part thatched Grade II listed cottage sitting on a plot of approx. 0.36 acres with a double garage, outbuildings and a home office/studio. This “chocolate box” cottage is located in a conservation area at the very heart of the desirable village of Great Gransden with a host of facilities and amenities for everyday living, a primary school and beautiful village church all within easy access to Cambridge and regular fast train services to London from the nearby market town of St Neots.

A gravel driveway leads to the double garage and garden with path to the pretty front entrance with timber framed thatched porch. Entering into the home you will be struck by the bright and airy ambience of the spacious dual aspect living room with exposed beams and feature brick open fireplace. A door leads through to an inner hallway with access to the dining room, study, kitchen breakfast room, bedroom three and two bathrooms. The extended kitchen breakfast room has increased head height, is dual aspect with views across the garden and is fitted with a contemporary kitchen with integral appliances. There is a good size study with built in desk and cabinetry; an ideal space for those who wish to work from home. The ground floor third bedroom has a built in Murphy bed and French doors lead out to the garden; perfect as an additional reception room or a guest bedroom served by the shower room. Bedroom three, the study and shower room could also easily be transformed into an annexe area for multi-generational living. The dining room with exposed beams, tiled floor and feature brick open fireplace is a generous size room and has an open wood staircase to the first floor. A contemporary family bathroom completes the ground floor. On the first floor there are two large double bedrooms, one with exposed beams.

Outside, there is a wall to the front boundary with pedestrian gate and mature hedges, shrubs and trees behind providing privacy. The pretty wraparound garden has large lawns, a pond, several seating areas, home office/studio, outbuildings and a detached double garage. The gardens are planted with mature shrubs, perennials and trees. Towards the end of the plot is a naturalised tree/woodland plant area.
