Modern Elegance Meets Village Charm: Thirlwall Drive, Fordham

3 Bedrooms | Extended Semi-Detached | Turnkey Condition

Step into a home where all the hard work has been done for you. Located on the highly sought-after Thirlwall Drive in the heart of Fordham, this beautifully extended three-bedroom semi-detached property is the definition of "turnkey." Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a flawless start or a growing family seeking that extra bit of high-quality space, this home is move-in ready and beautifully decorated throughout.

The Showstopper: The Vaulted Sun Room

The heart of this home is undoubtedly the spectacular rear sun room extension. This isn't just a summer room; with underfloor heating, it’s a versatile, year-round sanctuary. The dramatic vaulted ceiling and Velux windows bathe the space in natural light, while sleek bifold doors erase the boundary between inside and out. It flows effortlessly from the modern kitchen-diner, creating a social hub perfect for everything from busy family breakfasts to evening dinner parties.

An Oasis of Calm: The Super-Sized Garden

Rarely do you find a village home with such an extensive, mature rear garden. Barely overlooked and completely private, it features a large patio for entertaining and a lush, sprawling lawn. It’s a true private sanctuary where children can play and adults can unwind in total peace.

The Layout

Ground Floor: A welcoming separate living room at the front provides a cosy retreat, complemented by a convenient downstairs WC and excellent kerb appeal thanks to the shingle front garden and private driveway.

First Floor: Upstairs, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms, a well-proportioned third single bedroom, and a modern family bathroom.

Connectivity: Perfectly positioned for easy access to the A14 and A11, making the commute to Cambridge, Ely, or Newmarket effortless.

Education & Leisure: With a popular primary school and beautiful local walks (including the nearby Fordham Abbey), it’s a village that truly caters to all ages.

Homes of this quality on Thirlwall Drive are a rare find, especially with a garden of this scale and a sun room this stunning. Don’t just look at the photos—come and feel the space for yourself.
