The Farmery benefits from a substantial mature plot which is a real feature of the property. There is a tarmac parking area for a number of cars which leads to wild flower areas and a pond in front of the bungalow. To the rear is a substantial area of garden which is partly mown lawn areas but also features further wild flower areas, as well as fruit trees and other mature trees. Within the gardens there is a greenhouse and a substantial wall along the right hand side of the property adding to the secluded feel of the location.
The total area of the curtilage of The Farmery measures approx. 0.486acres.
In addition to the owned area, the owners of the property have leased an extra area of ground, to the rear of the property, from Cambridge Past Present and Future measuring c. 0.46 acres. This agreement was renewed yearly, but it is not known whether this would be offered to a new owner of The Farmery, and there is no presumption that it will.
The Farmery is a truly unique opportunity to purchase such a property in this wonderfully secluded location so close to Addenbrookes Hospital and the south city campuses. The property requires renovation and refurbishment but this will allow the buyer to tailor the property to their own tastes and preferences and may also lend itself to extension or alteration STP.
