A substantial seven-bedroom family home set on a very large plot just under an acre, quietly positioned in Great Abington and within easy reach of Cambridge and Saffron Walden. The house offers generous reception space, a south-facing garden, and a self-contained annexe that can be used for guests, home working or combined into the main accommodation for extended-family living.
Internally the property retains traditional proportions and features including multiple reception rooms, parquet and wood-veneer floors, and a principal bedroom with balcony overlooking the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped and there is a large double garage with an office/studio above — useful for business-from-home or hobby use.
Buyers should note the property uses oil-fired central heating and has an EPC rating of D. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to consider if remote working or running an intensive business from home. The house dates from the 1950s and, while well-proportioned, offers scope for updating or bespoke refurbishment to modern standards.
This home will suit a large family seeking privacy, outdoor space and proximity to good primary and secondary schools, or buyers wanting flexible, multi-generation accommodation. The annexe and sizeable garage/studio broaden the property's appeal to those needing separate living or dedicated workspace.
