Summary - 5 Tower Close, Bassingbourn SG8 5JX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Four-bedroom detached house with south-west garden and flexible reception space, ideal for families.
Detached four-bedroom family home in quiet cul-de-sac
This well-presented four-bedroom detached house in a quiet Bassingbourn cul-de-sac offers comfortable family living with flexible reception space. The large living room with a log burner and an additional sitting room create cosy and separate zones for family life. A light dining room and practical kitchen support everyday living and entertaining, while the south-west facing garden captures afternoon and evening sun.
Practical advantages include an extended driveway with off-street parking and a part-converted garage currently used as a home gym and storage — useful for hobbyists or as a potential further conversion subject to permissions. The property is freehold, built in the 1980s, double glazed and has a conventional oil-fired boiler serving radiators. EPC rating D (62) and oil heating are important cost and servicing considerations for buyers.
Upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms, including a principal with an en-suite, plus a family shower room and built-in wardrobes, making the layout well suited to growing families. Local schools include a Good-rated secondary (Bassingbourn Village College) and a primary with a lower Ofsted rating; buyers with school-age children should review catchments and performance.
Notable negatives to note: council tax band is above average (Band E), the heating runs on oil (not a community supply), and the garage is only part-converted rather than a full, separate garage — potential buyers should factor in any desired works and ongoing fuel costs. Overall this is a comfortable, adaptable family home in a very affluent, low-crime area with strong broadband and mobile signal.
