Glebe Road, Barrington

An extended detached bungalow situated on an elevated, mature plot, offering distant views of the Church and featuring potential for further extension (subject to planning permission). This property is offered with no onward chain.

The home is accessed via a driveway that provides off-street parking and leads to the integral garage. The frontage is attractively landscaped with a lawned area, established planting, and gated side access to the rear garden.

The accommodation begins with an entrance lobby and hallway. At the front of the property is the dining room, originally the sitting room, which features an open fireplace and a large picture window that floods the room with natural light and offers delightful views of the garden, surrounding green spaces, and the Church in the distance. The sitting room, located at the rear and formerly bedroom two, includes patio doors opening to the rear garden and a door leading to the rear extension.

The kitchen, positioned at the rear of the home, features a window and door overlooking and accessing the garden. It is fitted with a range of units, ample work surfaces, integrated electric ovens, a hob with an extractor hood, a stainless steel sink, and space for additional appliances.

At the front of the property, the main double bedroom is currently used as the master. The rear extension offers a versatile space, serving as a second bedroom and study area. The shower room requires updating, with the shower tray already removed. Additionally, there is a family bathroom with a three-piece suite.

The rear garden is a highlight of the property, featuring a patio area, a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees, as well as a workshop. Fully enclosed by timber fencing, the garden provides a high degree of privacy and is ideal for entertaining family and friends. Outdoor tap and lighting are also included.

Barrington is so lovely you might not believe it’s real. The village green is said to be the longest in England and dotted along it are all manner of pretty cottages, ancient buildings and handsome houses. Passing through in the summer you’ll likely see walkers, picnickers, families playing, a game of cricket and the monthly classic car meet at the thatched Royal Oak pub. Bicyclists glide by on their way to conquer Chapel Hill and the local shop bustles with custom. Strap on your walking boots and head north behind the green and you can get up to the woods that wrap around the former chalk quarry (at the time of writing being developed into a nature area and housing) or you can go south for a riverside walk to Shepreth or Foxton. Glorious.

It's about 8 miles southwest of Cambridge and is close to the A10, giving easy access to the M11 just beyond Harston, or in the other direction Royston is about 7 miles and has major supermarkets and all the other things you’d expect of a market town. There are mainline railway stations available at Foxton and Shepreth which are 2 miles and 3 miles away respectively, Royston trains to Kings Cross are the quickest.

If you fancy the romantic English village life but don’t want to be too far from town, Barrington is tough to beat

The enthusiastic cycle commuter can join a cycleway by Foxton railway station and take it all the way to Addenbrooke’s campus (about 7 miles) and on into Cambridge city. Imagine how healthy and happy you’d get building that into your daily routine.

As well as the pub and shop the village has a primary school and a large village hall. For day trips Shepreth Wildlife Park is in the next-door village and the National Trust’s magnificent Wimpole Estate is 4 miles or so. You can spot birds at RSPB Fowlmere or play golf at Malton. All nearby.
