A spacious four-bedroom detached house set well back from the road on a mature 0.26-acre plot, this property suits growing families seeking privacy close to Cambridge. The house offers about 193 sqm (2,077 sqft) of well-planned living space, with a bright contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting area that opens via bi-fold doors onto a long, private garden backing onto trees and a nature reserve.
Ground-floor living is flexible: an elegant front sitting room with a log burner, a large family room (useful as playroom or home office), plus a practical utility/boot room and shower room. Off-street gravel parking to the front and a substantial timber shed to the rear add everyday convenience. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; three further double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the first floor.
Built in the 1960s and currently presented with contemporary improvements, the house offers sensible EPC performance (C/75) but sits in Council Tax band E — a running cost to note. There is clear potential to reconfigure the family room, utility and shower room into a separate annexe if desired, and the long plot provides scope for extension or landscaping, subject to planning consents.
Situated on leafy London Road in Harston, the location combines village amenities and excellent commuter links: quick access to the A10, M11, science parks, and Foxton station to Cambridge and London. Local primary and secondary schools are rated Good, and new traffic-free cycle routes improve sustainable access to the city. Overall this is a private, family-focused home with versatile space and strong potential for adaptation.
