Black Gate House sits in an elevated position on the outskirts of the village. To the front it enjoys rural views over farmland towards Cambridge, where Kings College chapel can be seen in the distance. Approached by a long sweeping driveway providing extensive parking, the front garden is well stocked. There is good privacy and screening from the road. The gardens extend to the side and rear. They are a particular feature of the house, as they are private and mature. Laid predominantly to lawn, there are a variety of mature shrubs and trees, a pond, and a large terrace to the rear of the house. Beyond the lawn there is the “secret garden”, which is well stocked and mature. There is also a shed and useful storage area, as well as timber summer and play houses.

The house has over the years been extended and now provides extensive accommodation, particularly on the ground floor. It comprises: a large porch leading to an impressive reception hall with part vaulted ceiling, monopitched roof and Velux roof light, and small cloakroom. The family room has a dual aspect, large walk- in cupboard having external access perfect for bike storage. The room also benefits from double doors leading on to the garden. There are two good-sized study rooms, and a lovely morning room windowed on two sides. The kitchen includes sink, built-in electric oven with microwave and 5-way gas hob. The “utility room” with large double sink also has an electric 4-plate hob and dishwasher plus ample storage units. Leading off the kitchen along the length of the house is the dual aspect lounge/dining room with its open fire, door to the terrace, and lovely green views. Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bed has a large en-suite, and this dual aspect room affords extensive views.

The property has the benefit of Gas-fired central heating with a new boiler and is double glazed throughout. To the side of the house is a useful covered passageway which has access to the front and rear garden as well as utility room. It has a walk-in pantry, and leads on to the larger than average garage with twin up and over doors, power, light, and washing machine. There is a staircase leading up to a boarded roof space currently used for storage; but could provide additional accommodation subject to planning if required. All in all a fantastic and really versatile family home with ample accommodation. In order to appreciate this and its overall setting a viewing is highly recommended.
