Button End, Harston

A period end-of-terrace cottage in need of updating throughout, providing an excellent opportunity to refit and extend (STP). No Chain.

2–6 Button End forms a small terrace of cottages dating from the 1880s, constructed with clunch walls set on a brick plinth beneath a tiled roof. No. 2, the end-of-terrace property, sits within a generous plot of around 307 square metres and backs onto open fields, offering excellent scope for improvement and modernisation throughout. The property has potential to extend to the side and rear elevations and into the loft space (subject to the necessary planning consent). Positioned in a non-estate location within this desirable village, the property is offered with no onward chain.

The entrance lobby leads into a comfortable sitting room with a window to the front aspect, an open fireplace, and stairs rising to the first floor. To the rear, the kitchen provides access to a conservatory overlooking the garden, along with a connecting door to a rear shower room and WC. This shower room forms part of a later addition to the original cottage.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, with the main bedroom overlooking the front and the second enjoying views across the rear garden and open countryside beyond. A first-floor WC serves both rooms.

Outside, the property benefits from off-street parking to the front and an attached brick-built garage to the side, which represents a later addition and offers further potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consent). The garage features an up-and-over door to the front, power and light connected, and a wall-mounted gas boiler.

The rear garden is of good size and mainly laid to lawn, with a large timber shed and an open rural outlook, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy.

Harston is the first village south of Cambridge on the A10 and offers an excellent range of day-to-day facilities, together with particularly convenient road links both into the city and south towards Royston and London.

A purpose-built, traffic-free cycle route has recently opened, providing a direct connection over the M11 to Trumpington and onwards to Cambridge city centre. A regular bus service also serves the village.

Harston is ideally located for the Addenbrooke's Biomedical Campus and the science parks at Melbourn, Babraham and Great Chesterford. Foxton’s mainline railway station, providing services to Cambridge (approximately 13 minutes) and London King’s Cross (under one hour), lies within around two miles.

Within the parish there is an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ primary school, restaurant, doctor’s surgery with dispensary, well-stocked village shop with Post Office counter, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with an improved children’s playground.
