Situated in the heart of the highly regarded village of Balsham, The Rookery is a substantial four-bedroom family home offering generous accommodation of approximately 146 sq m (1,572 sq ft) and excellent scope for modernisation and personalisation.

The main living room is an impressive, full-depth reception measuring over 7.8 metres in length, featuring a fireplace and ample space for both seating and entertaining. To the front of the house, a long study/home office provides an ideal workspace, hobby room or potential playroom, benefitting from good natural light.

A separate dining room, finished with parquet flooring, sits adjacent to the kitchen and enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden. The kitchen is well proportioned and positioned at the rear of the property, opening into the conservatory, which enjoys garden views and offers a bright, informal sitting or dining area with French doors leading outside.

On the first floor, the accommodation is arranged around a generous central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and direct access to a private balcony, creating a peaceful retreat overlooking the garden. There are three further bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a fourth bedroom suitable as a child’s room or additional study, all served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is complemented by gardens offering excellent potential for landscaping, along with a double garage providing secure parking and storage.
