This newly built four-bedroom detached house in Newnham offers generous, thoughtfully arranged living across approximately 2,482 sq ft. High-spec finishes include a handmade oak kitchen with Caesarstone worktops, bespoke oak and glass staircase with feature lighting, and Duravit/Roper Rhodes sanitaryware in three bathrooms and ensuites. Energy efficiency is strong: PV panels front and back, an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and an EPC A rating.
The home is arranged for modern family life: a large open-plan kitchen/dining area with bi-fold doors to the south-facing garden, a hardwood roof terrace with planting and lighting, study space, and off-street parking with a covered carport and storage. Security and convenience are well covered by a full alarm, CCTV, camera doorbell and a 10-year NHBC warranty.
Location is a core strength. Pearce Close sits in highly regarded Newnham, under a mile from Cambridge city centre and within easy reach of excellent schools (Newnham Croft, The Leys, St John’s, and others), green spaces, and riverside walks. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical appeal.
Notable drawbacks: the property sits in Council Tax Band H, with very high annual charges. Buyers should also allow for typical running costs associated with a large detached house (maintenance of finishes, garden and terrace). The freehold tenure and NHBC warranty mitigate longer-term structural concerns, but purchasers should still carry out their own surveys.
