Summary - 21 South Road, Abington CB21 6AU
7 bed 6 bath Detached
Substantial garden, flexible accommodation and good commuter links.
Seven bedrooms plus self-contained annexe with separate entrance
A substantial seven-bedroom detached house with a self-contained annexe, set in just under an acre of south-facing gardens. The roomy, split-level sitting room and multiple reception spaces open easily to a paved terrace and lawn — ideal for family life and entertaining. The annexe provides flexible accommodation for guests, older children or rental income.
Built in the 1950s and extended, the property retains traditional proportions and characterful features including parquet and veneer floors and a balcony from the principal bedroom with garden views. The kitchen/breakfast room and utility are practical and functional, while the double garage with upstairs studio adds home-office or hobby space.
Practical considerations: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, the EPC is rated D and broadband speeds are very slow. The house offers scope for updating and improvement—buyers should factor potential refurbishment and uplift in energy performance into their budgets. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Set in a quiet semi-rural lane approximately three miles from the mainline station at Whittlesford, the location suits families seeking countryside living within commuting distance of Cambridge and Saffron Walden. Good primary and secondary schools are nearby, and the substantial plot and private setting are major draws for buyers wanting outdoor space and privacy.
