Large chain-free family house with open-plan kitchen and private garden.
Chain free five-bedroom detached house on large private plot
This substantial five-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot in a quiet Melbourn development, offered chain free and extending to approximately 2,500 sq ft. The home combines rustic exterior character with high-spec contemporary fittings inside — notably an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining area with Neff appliances, quartz worktops, island, and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden and conservatory. Multiple living spaces (lounge, family room, study) make it flexible for family life and home working.
Practical comforts include dual-zone electric underfloor heating in the kitchen/diner and conservatory, a mains gas boiler with radiator heating upstairs, water softener, Insinkerator tap, and a wood-burning stove in the lounge for extra atmosphere. The rear garden is private and sizeable, with a decked area, patio, summerhouse/garden office with power and light, and gated side access. To the front there is a wide driveway and a detached double garage providing generous parking and storage.
Bedrooms are well-proportioned: the principal suite has a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; a second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite. The house is well suited to growing families who need flexible reception space, parking for several cars, and a home office or separate children’s playroom. Nearby local schools are mostly rated Good, and the village offers amenities within walking distance.
Notable practical points: the property was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some elements may be approaching replacement age. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal. These are realistic maintenance and running-cost considerations for buyers weighing long-term ownership costs.
