Bramley Avenue, Melbourn

Property Insight
Tucked into a settled residential pocket within walking distance of Melbourn's shops, schools and everyday amenities, this terraced home has been thoughtfully extended to the rear to create a bright, open living space that sets it apart from others at this level. It makes an ideal first purchase, offered with no onward chain and presented in move-in condition throughout requiring nothing more than a new owner's furniture. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a generous open-plan lounge and dining room at its heart, a separate galley kitchen, a ground-floor family bathroom and three bedrooms above. Benefiting of freehold tenure, it is ready to proceed without delay.
The entrance hall sets a warm tone, with wood-effect flooring running throughout the ground floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. Beyond, the open-plan lounge and dining room is the real strength of the home — a long, light-filled space created by the rear extension, finished with a deep green feature wall and framed by French doors onto the garden. There is comfortable room for both seating and a full dining table, making it a natural spot for everyday life and entertaining. The galley kitchen is fitted with grey shaker-style units, timber-effect worktops and a white metro-tile splashback, with an integrated oven and hob and space for freestanding appliances. A stylish ground-floor bathroom completes the floor, tiled in white metro brick with contrasting black fittings and a shower over the bath.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms arranged off the landing. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in mirrored wardrobes, the second is a good-sized double currently arranged as a home office, and the third makes a pleasant single or nursery. Outside, the rear garden is a particular draw: established and private, with a decked seating area adjoining the house, a central lawn, raised beds for the keen gardener and mature planting framing the boundaries. A garage en bloc provides off-road parking and additional storage. With its extended footprint, settled village setting and move-in-ready finish, this is a rare opportunity for first-time buyers and young families alike to secure a home in the heart of Melbourn.

Location – Melbourn
Melbourn is a large parish village in the far southwest of Cambridgeshire, 3 miles from Royston and 11 miles from Cambridge. It has a long history of occupation stemming from the springs and the River Mel, which rises at Melbourn Bury and runs clear and shallow over chalk and gravel. There are many countryside walks, including several ancient trackways crossing the parish. Melbourn is a bustling village offering two village shops, a pharmacy, doctor's and dentist surgeries, two traditional pubs, the highly regarded Sheene Mill restaurant and hotel, and a spa opposite. There are a number of parks and a wide range of clubs for all ages. Schooling runs from pre-school options through primary to secondary within the village, and there are two churches, including All Saints' Church, dating from the 13th Century. Meldreth station is within walking distance, Royston's mainline station offers fast services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross, and the A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive.
