Summary - BLUE GATES MADINGLEY ROAD COTON CAMBRIDGE CB23 7PQ
6 bed 6 bath Detached
Spacious family home with pool, annexe and solar-equipped heating.
Extremely large detached house on a huge private plot
Blue Gates is an exceptionally spacious detached family home on the edge of Coton, combining contemporary timber-frame design with generous indoor and outdoor living. Set on a huge plot close to Cambridge, the property includes a south-facing layout, extensive terraces, a 15-metre heated indoor pool wing, and a detached two-bedroom annexe — ideal for guests, multigenerational living or rental income.
Built in 2009 to a Pagano-inspired post-and-beam aesthetic, the house emphasises light and timber warmth. Environmental features include photovoltaic solar panels and an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating throughout much of the ground floor, lowering reliance on fossil fuels. The kitchen, large open-plan living areas beneath a double-height atrium, study, art studio and library provide versatile family spaces, while the principal suite offers a balcony, walk-in dressing room and marble-finished en suite.
Practical strengths include substantial off-street parking, covered carport, stables, productive orchard and secure pedestrian access to Coton village and cycle routes into Cambridge. Note the home is on an elevated timber frame construction that will need standard long-term maintenance for exposed timber and external finishes. Council tax sits at a high band and the property’s size and electric-based heating mean running costs may be significant despite solar and heat-pump efficiencies. One nearby primary school listed here is rated 'Requires improvement' — several other highly regarded schools are within easy reach.
