Rose Cottage is a Grade II Listed, quaint, thatched, chocolate box cottage located just off the picturesque and historic market square within the heart of this sought-after Cambridgeshire village.
The entrance door leads to a comfortable-sized dining room which includes an inglenook with original oven door, feature beams to the ceiling, a beautiful stripped wood floor panelling to the walls and French doors leading to the cottage garden. The cosy sitting room, also with a continuation of the stripped wood floor, features exposed beams to the walls and ceiling, with stairs rising to the first-floor accommodation. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with solid wood butcher’s block worksurface and tiled splash backs, a ceramic butler sink, and space for a range cooker and appliances, with access to the rear garden. The landing has previously been used as a study, to provide a space to work from home but equally is large enough to be used as an occasional bedroom, with original beams and access to the main bedroom and bathroom. The three-piece bathroom suite includes a shower over the bath. The impressive master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, features exposed brickwork and timber beams.
Outside and parking
Alongside the cottage is gated access which leads to the wonderful, cottage-style garden, laid mainly to lawn with fencing to the boundaries and an abundance of pretty flowers and shrubs, set to borders and offering colour throughout the spring and summer months. There is vehicle access to a driveway and garage at the rear.
Location
Swavesey itself has a diverse community and is popular with families, due to the successful Primary School and Outstanding Ofsted-rated Village College. There is a convenience store with Post Office and a thatched village shop situated in a historic market square, as well as various churches, a coffee shop, butchers and farm shop and a public house serving a wide range of real ales. On the green sits an attractive pavilion, used by the community. Swavesey is also fortunate to have the wonderful rspb nature reserve at Fen Drayton lakes leading to miles of walks along the river and a stop for the guided bus. With the completion of the expansion to the A14, residents now benefit from better-flowing traffic, cycle paths and additional local byroads. The village also has a stop for the guided bus, which travels through the nature reserve to St Ives and Cambridge city centre and Addenbrookes. Parallel to the track is a cycle path which is popular for runners, cyclists and walkers.
