Meldreth is a thriving parish about 7 miles south west of the Cambridge city boundary and about 4 miles north of the Hertfordshire market town of Royston. Its appeal to many is that it provides the immediate facilities so many villages have lost - a shop, pub, primary school and the like - whilst remaining a relatively small and welcoming village. Its commuting links to London and Cambridge are exceptional, with a mainline railway station to Kings Cross in the village and excellent road access by the A10 and A505 linking both the M11 and A1(M). The neighbouring larger village of Melbourn can be walked to and provides further shops, community facilities and a secondary school. Melbourn Science Park is a major employment area. It is the right side of the city for Cambridge's many high-achieving private schools, which are easily reached by road or rail. For leisure, the village is surrounded by open countryside with numerous rural footpaths and bridleways. There are at least 7 golf clubs within 10 miles. Royston provides gyms and a swimming pool and there are luxury health clubs in Cambridge and outside Baldock. The National Trust's Wimpole Estate is 6 miles north, and the neighbouring village of Shepreth has a wildlife park. The famous Sheene Mill restaurant in Melbourn can be walked to and Cambridge provides world-class food, drink and culture.   ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/102522230/713567) - ![Dining Room](/listings/photos/102522230/713568) - Dining Room - ![Garden](/listings/photos/102522230/713569) - Garden - ![Sitting Room](/listings/photos/102522230/713570) - Sitting Room - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/102522230/713572) - Kitchen - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/102522230/713573) - Kitchen - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/102522230/713579) - Kitchen - ![Utility Room](/listings/photos/102522230/713582) - Utility Room - ![Study ](/listings/photos/102522230/713585) - Study - ![Office](/listings/photos/102522230/713588) - Office - ![Cloakroom](/listings/photos/102522230/713589) - Cloakroom - ![Hallway](/listings/photos/102522230/713592) - Hallway - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/102522230/713595) - Bedroom - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/102522230/713597) - Bedroom - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/102522230/713602) - Bedroom - ![Shower Room](/listings/photos/102522230/713606) - Shower Room - ![Bedroom](/listings/photos/102522230/713608) - Bedroom - ![Bathroom](/listings/photos/102522230/713611) - Bathroom - ![Shower Room](/listings/photos/102522230/713615) - Shower Room - ![Terrace](/listings/photos/102522230/713620) - Terrace - ![Terrace](/listings/photos/102522230/713625) - Terrace - ![Rear](/listings/photos/102522230/713630) - Rear - ![Sauna](/listings/photos/102522230/713637) - Sauna - ![Sauna](/listings/photos/102522230/713642) - Sauna - ![Rear](/listings/photos/102522230/713648) - Rear ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan](/listings/photos/102522230/713654) - Floorplan - ![Location Plan](/listings/photos/102522230/713660) - Location Plan - ![Location Plan](/listings/photos/102522230/713663) - Location Plan - ![Location Plan](/listings/photos/102522230/713667) - Location Plan ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC Front Page](/listings/photos/102522230/713673) - EPC Front Page ## FENSA Certificates This property has 2 FENSA certificate(s) on record. ### FENSA Certificate #2743573 - **Address:** 14 THE GRANGE, MELDRETH, SG8 6JZ - **Certificate Issued:** 30/05/2005 - **Work Completed:** 22/04/2005 - **Items:** 7 window(s) ### FENSA Certificate #367160 - **Address:** 14 THE GRANGE, MELDRETH, SG8 6JZ - **Certificate Issued:** 23/01/2003 - **Work Completed:** 09/12/2002 - **Items:** 3 window(s), 2 door(s) ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
