Description
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and enhanced by a practical utility room, keeping daily tasks neatly apart from the main living spaces. All three bedrooms are generously sized, with the master bedroom enjoying an en-suite shower room and French doors opening directly onto the garden. The remaining bedrooms are served by a central family bathroom, with one also benefiting from its own garden access through French doors. Another room provides excellent flexibility, ideal as a home office or nursery.
The rear garden is a standout feature: private, generously sized, and brimming with potential for outdoor living or further landscaping. Together with the excellent internal flow, it creates a home that blends comfort, practicality, and opportunity in equal measure.
Attention to specification is evident throughout. The property is fitted with Luxal aluminium double-glazed windows, finished in a durable powder-coated frame, with argon-filled glazing units to boost insulation and minimise solar heat gain. The main entrance is secured by a robust composite door from Solidoor, combining strength with style.
Heating and hot water are delivered by a high-efficiency wet underfloor system, zoned for individual control in each room via separate sensors. This is powered by a Comet electric boiler from the Electric Heating Company (EHC), which incorporates its own tank and heat exchangers. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the system can also be integrated with solar panels for further savings, ensuring year-round comfort with reduced running costs.
Babraham Road sits in a leafy, sought-after part of Cambridge, close to everyday conveniences and green space. Nearby villages such as Great Shelford offer local shops, cafés, and a Tesco Express, while larger supermarkets, including Tesco and Waitrose, are within a short drive. The area also benefits from traditional pubs such as The George Inn in Babraham, as well as easy access to countryside walks and the Babraham Institute, a hub of scientific research.
Families are well served by highly rated schools including Babraham C of E Primary, Queen Edith Primary, and St Bede’s Inter-Church School. Great Shelford railway station, Cambridge South (from 2026), and the Babraham Road Park & Ride provide excellent connections to Cambridge city centre, London, and beyond. Employment opportunities are strong, with Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, and the Babraham Research Campus all close at hand, making the area particularly attractive to professionals and academics.
