A recently updated five-bedroom detached house arranged over multiple floors, set on a generous 0.20-acre plot on the edge of Bassingbourn. The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen–diner with island and breakfast bar, complemented by a first-floor living room with a Juliette balcony overlooking the large west-facing garden. The property is offered chain-free and includes a detached self-contained annex ideal for guests, multigenerational living or rental income.
Practical features include a utility/boot room, two modern bathrooms, ample off-street parking on a gravel driveway and several useful outbuildings: summerhouse, greenhouse, shed and a timber home office. The accommodation is versatile (4/5 bedrooms plus study) and the recent renovations mean much of the finish is contemporary and ready to move into.
The location suits families wanting village life with good transport links: Royston station offers fast trains to Cambridge and London, and Cambridge is about 14 miles away. Buyers should note local context: the immediate area is classified as an ageing rural neighbourhood with some wider area deprivation. School performance is mixed — the village primary is currently rated as requiring improvement and a nearby secondary has an inadequate rating.
Practicalities and constraints to consider: broadband speeds are fast but mobile signal is average; crime levels are around average. The property has scope for further extension subject to planning and will appeal to buyers seeking flexible living space, annex potential and a large, sheltered west garden.
