Apple Cottage

Apple Cottage is offered with no upward chain and is set well back from the road in a location that is convenient for access to the city or the major road network. The property is well planned and has recently undergone a complete renovation with contemporary bathrooms installed, new flooring laid and complete redecoration throughout.
Approached over a long driveway, there is a lawn and hedging providing natural screening from the road and a secure gate that gives access into the rear garden.
To the front of the bungalow there is a small porch and this opens to an impressive, open plan living space with a vaulted ceiling and large, exposed, oak timbers. The room naturally divides into various zones and there is a kitchen on one side fitted with a range of cabinets set below the working surface, with a built-in oven and hob with an extractor over and space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. On the other side, there is a lovely area ideal for sitting, set around the exposed brick fireplace. There is also plenty of room for a dining table and chairs. The living space has underfloor heating and natural wood flooring. There is a back door leading out to the rear garden and a door to the utility / shower room, which has a walk-in shower, w.c and hand-basin, as well as space for a washing machine and dryer.
The property benefits from three generous double bedrooms, all of which are accessed off the inner hallway. The main bedroom is dual aspect and has views over the garden and a door leading directly out. There is a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite fitted with a shower, w.c. and a hand-basin. The second double has a Jack and Jill en-suite fitted with a bath with shower over, w.c. and hand-basin. This bathroom can be accessed either via the inner hallway or the second bedroom.
Outside, there is a 200m (650ft) long, south facing rear garden, leading down past an orchard of fruit trees to the far end where there is a children's log cabin and lovely views over rolling countryside.


Apple Cottage physically sits between two villages, Coton and Hardwick. Coton has a small Ofsted 'Outstanding' primary school, a handsome gastro pub, a modern village hall and large playing fields with active sports clubs. At one edge of the village, closest to the cottage, is Coton Orchard farm shop and garden centre, which also has a post office, butcher and café, whilst at the other edge is Coton Countryside Nature Reserve. Hardwick is a very popular village with an Ofsted 'Good' primary school which feeds into Comberton Village College, a well-stocked general shop and post office and a historic pub, The Blue Lion. There are also a number of small businesses including a beauty salon, a pet shop, veterinary surgery, a car repair/maintenance garage amongst others.
A Sainsbury superstore can also be found off Madingley Road at the new Eddington development.
There are excellent cycle routes alongside Madingley Road running into the city and the nearby A428 and M11 give quick access to the major road network. There is also a Park & Ride on Madingley Road providing convenient access by bus into the city.
The village is surrounded by open countryside with various footpaths and bridleways over fields to the neighbouring villages. It offers a fine balance between convenient access the city and a sense of being part of the countryside.
