Set within a quiet residential pocket a short walk from Melbourn's shops, schools and everyday amenities, it makes a sensible first purchase or a comfortable home for those wanting village life with genuine connectivity to Royston and Cambridge.

The ground floor is arranged for easy living, with a generous lounge/dining room running the depth of the house and opening onto the rear garden through French doors, giving a light and sociable main living space with room for both seating and a dining table.

Outside, the rear garden is a good size, laid mainly to lawn with a paved patio off the house and two timber sheds providing storage, enclosed by fencing for privacy. Parking for one car completes a home that balances space, position and affordability. A rare opportunity to secure a village home in a genuinely central Melbourn setting.

Location – Melbourn
Melbourn is a large parish village in the far southwest of Cambridgeshire, 3 miles from Royston and 11 miles from Cambridge. It has a long history of occupation stemming from the springs and the River Mel, which rises at Melbourn Bury and runs clear and shallow over chalk and gravel. There are many countryside walks, including several ancient trackways crossing the parish. Melbourn is a bustling village offering two village shops, a pharmacy, doctor's and dentist surgeries, two traditional pubs, the highly regarded Sheene Mill restaurant and hotel, and a spa opposite. There are a number of parks and a wide range of clubs for all ages. Schooling runs from pre-school options through primary to secondary within the village, and there are two churches, including All Saints' Church, dating from the 13th Century. Meldreth station is within walking distance, Royston's mainline station offers fast services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross, and the A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive.
