Set on a non-estate plot in Bassingbourn, this chain-free detached house offers over 2,000 sq ft of flexible family living. The layout includes 2–3 reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room with utility and walk-in larder, plus a downstairs study that can serve as a fifth double bedroom. Rooms are unusually large for a modern build, creating practical space for family life and home working.
Outside, the fully enclosed, walled garden is a standout — largely lawned with established borders, mature trees and a pretty brook beyond the boundary providing a secluded feel. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a sizable driveway add everyday convenience for families with more than one car.
Running costs are partially addressed by a modern pellet boiler heated system (bulk wood pellets) which boosts efficiency, but the property’s current EPC rating is E and council tax is noted as expensive. Buyers should also be aware of a medium flood-risk designation to the area and the local primary school has an Ofsted rating of ‘Requires improvement’. These factors are important to consider alongside the home’s generous space and location.
For families seeking space close to transport links, the property is around 2.1 miles from a fast train service into London King’s Cross and within easy reach of Royston’s amenities. The house has been a family home for over 20 years and suits buyers wanting a roomy, well-located village home with scope to personalise and upgrade energy performance where desired.
