Set in a quiet cul-de-sac less than 1.5 miles from Cambridge city centre, this substantial five-bedroom detached house is arranged over two floors and offers nearly 2,225 sq ft of flexible family accommodation. The layout includes a principal bedroom with en suite, four further bedrooms, a bright garden room with Velux windows and fireplaces in principal reception rooms. A large double garage and wide driveway provide generous off-street parking for several cars.
The interior has been skilfully extended and well maintained, with a modern kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and a dining room opening onto a terrace — ideal for family meals and outdoor entertaining. Double glazing and gas central heating are installed throughout, and the plot is a good size for neighborhood standards, backing onto pleasant green routes including Coton Footpath for walks and cycle routes into the city.
Practical points to note: the property was built in the mid-1990s and the double glazing predates 2002, so buyers should expect standard ongoing maintenance and opportunities to upgrade windows or other services to current standards. Council tax is described as quite expensive, adding to running costs. There is no flood risk and the area records very low crime, with excellent mobile and fast broadband — attractive for home working and commuting via the nearby M11.
This house suits families seeking space, good local schools and easy access to the city and research parks. It offers a comfortable, adaptable home with scope for cosmetic modernisation or targeted upgrades where preferred.
