Black House, Long Drove, Waterbeach, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB25

Set against a backdrop of open countryside, Black House is a beautifully presented home situated on Long Drove in one of Cambridge's best-connected villages. Built in 2010, it offers over 1,500 sq ft of well-planned accommodation, arranged in a practical layout ideally suited to modern family living, with spacious interiors and far-reaching countryside views.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a bright triple-aspect sitting room, a separate dining room, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, providing excellent space for both everyday life and entertaining. A utility room, cloakroom and study add further flexibility for home working, hobbies or additional family needs.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The layout is well balanced, offering comfortable and versatile accommodation for families at every stage.

The property sits on a generous plot with attractive views across the surrounding
fenland countryside. The rural outlook provides an ever-changing backdrop
throughout the seasons, while the property's position allows the gardens and grounds to be enjoyed to their full potential.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are complemented with a variety of established trees and shrubs, providing colour, texture and interest throughout the year. A pond creates an attractive focal point within the grounds and adds to the overall character of the setting. To the front and side, the driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a substantial hardstanding area beside the barn/garage. This versatile space is well suited to a range of uses, including additional parking, storage, workshop activities or the accommodation of larger vehicles, subject to individual requirements.

The overall plot offers ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation and general enjoyment of the countryside surroundings.
