Orchard Road, Melbourn, Royston, SG8

This well-presented period home offers plenty of character and flexible accommodation. Conveniently located within walking distance of village amenities and the train station, it provides excellent links to Cambridge and London.

The home has a west-facing garden, filling the rooms with natural light. The ground floor features three reception rooms, two of which are divided by an exposed inglenook chimney breast with a wood-burning stove. Double doors between the living and dining rooms allow for either open-plan living or separate spaces when needed.

The ground floor also includes a kitchen, cloakroom, and a conservatory overlooking the mature garden. A useful storage room is currently used as a utility space. A ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite offers versatility, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or can be used as an additional reception room.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms. A useful office area on the landing could be converted into a fourth bedroom.

Outside, the driveway provides ample parking, with one space leading to a garage. A front hedge and lawn offer privacy from the quiet village road, while the private walled rear garden features mature trees, lawns, and a decked seating area.

This home offers a perfect blend of period charm and modern practicality in a well-connected village setting. The floor space is considerably more generous than that of other four-bedroom properties.
