This former veterinary surgery and overhead flat enjoy an idyllic village location, with field views, set in a quarter of an acre plot. There is an incredibly generous frontage, with a gravel driveway, ideal for car parking or extending the property further, and a large lawn, surrounded by hedgerows. This multi-purpose property opportunity offers excellent potential for conversion planning already approved, extension or development, plus the advantage of being sold with no upward chain.

Upon stepping inside, the waiting room is spacious with a large window to a front aspect, and access through to an office/reception space, 2 consulting rooms, and a cloakroom WC. Through to the back of the property, there are 5 further well-proportioned spaces with access to another cloakroom WC and kitchen area, which offer excellent potential to convert and/or update and add value.

Another inner hallway currently provides stairs to the first-floor flat above, which also would benefit from conversion or being updated. The landing enjoys two windows to a front aspect, a Velux window, and access through to a good-sized kitchen space, integrated storage, 2 well-proportioned bedrooms with integrated wardrobes, and a bathroom comprising a bath, WC and hand wash basin.

Outside, to the rear, the garden is a very good size, fully enclosed by fencing and enjoying lovely field and tree views. It is laid mainly to lawn with a paved area, offering plenty of space for sitting out and enjoying the pleasant weather. There is also excellent scope for future owners to put their own stamp on things, convert, extend and add further value whilst having the reassurance of planning already approved.

Location - Meldreth
Meldreth is a particularly vibrant parish village in the South Cambridgeshire area, nestled in lush countryside 6 miles away from the town of Royston and 10 miles from the city of Cambridge. The village, once famous for its fruit production, is home to several orchards and farm shops, where locally produced fruit and vegetables are still grown and sold, the most famous being the Meldreth greengage.

The village offers a plethora of ways to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, with local nature reserves and walks following winding streams and rivers. The British Queen is a traditional village pub and is very highly regarded locally, offering a friendly and relaxing vibe, with homemade, locally sourced and seasonal cuisine.

Meldreth also benefits from its own railway station, with regular services to both Cambridge and London, and there is a wide range of amenities, including recreation grounds, a village hall which is available for hire, a convenience store, a veterinary surgery, a primary school, and doctor’s surgeries in neighbouring villages. Situated northeast of the village, the Holy Trinity Church was dedicated in the 15th Century and offers regular services for residents.

Since Royston is also very close, residents have access to the many other amenities the town has to offer, such as the leisure centre, sports clubs, dentist’s surgeries, and highly-regarded schools for all ages. The A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive via the A10/A505, and London Stansted and Luton Airports are both 30-minutes away.

We highly recommend visiting the vibrant village of Meldreth to see for yourself what there is on offer. You won’t be disappointed!
