This spacious five-bedroom detached house on West Drive is arranged over two floors and designed for family living. The ground floor offers a large living room with garden access, a separate dining room, a generous kitchen and a dedicated study — useful for home working. Upstairs provides a generous master bedroom with ensuite, three further doubles and a versatile fifth bedroom. The rear garden is large, fully enclosed and features a patio plus a garden store that could be converted to a home office.
Practical features include a double garage with power, an electric up-and-over door and overhead storage, and a block-paved driveway for up to three cars. A low-profile, roof-integrated solar panel assists the hot-water system, helping running costs. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the location is close to primary schools and Comberton Village College (outstanding). Local footpaths and nearby Hardwick Wood add countryside appeal while the A428 gives direct access to Cambridge and neighbouring towns.
Notable running factors are straightforward: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has an EPC rating of D; council tax is band F (expensive). There is a shared driveway with a 10% maintenance contribution and a legal right of access. The house was built in the 1980s and shows the quality of that period; buyers seeking full modernisation should note the EPC and oil heating when considering longer-term energy upgrades.
Overall, the home will suit growing families who prioritise space, flexible rooms for study or home office use, good local schools and countryside access. It is well presented and ready to occupy, with clear potential to adapt the garden store and loft for additional uses if required.
