Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home set within a large half an acre plot, offering over 165 sqm / 1,780 sqft of flexible accommodation. Offered with no onward chain.

Set back from the road, the property is accessed via a wide sweeping driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, bordered by established hedging and leading to gated side access. The plot offers clear scope for the addition of a double garage or carport.

The accommodation is well balanced and with a very adaptable layout. A generous entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space, with built-in storage and a naturally bright stairwell. A modern ground floor shower room is positioned off the hall, ideal for family use or guests.

The living room is a well-proportioned dual-aspect space, featuring French doors opening onto the garden and a central fireplace with tiled hearth and timber surround. To the rear of the property is a further reception room, perfect for use as a snug, home office or separate dining room, enjoying views across the garden.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen dining room, fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry, generous work surfaces and integrated appliances, alongside space for freestanding white goods. Dual-aspect windows and a side door also provide excellent natural light and access. There's the added benefit of a very substantial separate utility room offering additional storage, work surfaces, sink and external access.

The first floor opens onto a large landing area, suitable for use as a study or reading space. There are five bedrooms in total, including a master bedroom and second bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Bedroom four benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are well served by the family bathroom, fitted with a modern suite and shower over the bath.

The rear garden is a key feature of the property, extending to form a truly impressive and private plot with excellent scope for enhancement. Recently installed feather-edge fencing defines the boundaries, while established planting provides a good level of maturity and seclusion.

A mature willow tree sits midway within the garden, creating a nice focal point and breaks up the predominantly open space. The size and layout of the garden offers clear potential to create a thoughtfully landscaped outdoor space or to incorporate into any future redevelopment or extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Overall, the garden provides a versatile and attractive setting, combining privacy, maturity and long-term potential in equal measure.

Location

The property is located on a highly regarded road within this well-established village, offering a strong sense of community alongside a good range of everyday amenities. The village provides local shops, pubs, recreational facilities and community spaces, making it well suited to families, professionals and anyone seeking a village lifestyle.

The area is particularly popular with families due to its well-regarded schooling of Swavesey Primary School and Village College.

For commuters, the location is extremely well positioned. The Guided Busway offers a direct and reliable route into Cambridge city centre, the Science Park and Cambridge North Station, while the nearby road network provides convenient access to the A14, M11 and surrounding areas.

Summary

This substantial detached home represents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a property of scale within a generous and private plot, with the significant advantage of existing planning permission already in place. Offering flexible accommodation and outstanding scope to extend, remodel or redevelop, the property provides a clear pathway to creating a bespoke forever home in a highly regarded village location with excellent commuter links
