Summary - 57 OLD NORTH ROAD BASSINGBOURN ROYSTON SG8 5JL
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private garden backing a brook with strong energy efficiency.
Nearly 2,000 sq ft of flexible family living space
A spacious detached family home offering almost 2,000 sq ft of flexible living on a large, private plot in Bassingbourn. Ground floor layout includes two/three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with island and pantry, utility and a study that can serve as a downstairs bedroom. The house sits non-estate with off-street parking for 3–4 cars and a long, walled rear garden backing onto a small brook.
The property’s notable running-cost advantage is an A+ rated OKOfen Pellematic wood pellet boiler serving radiators, giving strong energy efficiency. The main bedroom benefits from a large five-piece ensuite; there are four further double bedrooms and ample storage across the home. Chain free sale makes it straightforward for buyers needing a quicker move.
Practical considerations: the plot lies in an area with medium flood risk alongside the brook, so prospective buyers should seek specialist advice and appropriate insurance. The house dates from the 1980s, so while well-proportioned, some buyers may want to update finishes or adapt the garage space. Council tax is described as expensive. Local schools are mixed in Ofsted outcomes, so families should check catchment details.
This home suits a growing family wanting countryside calm with commuter links — Royston station is about 2.1 miles away with fast services to London. The village offers everyday amenities while Cambridge and larger shopping centres remain within easy driving distance.
