Radcliffe & Rust Estate Agents Cambridge are delighted to offer for sale this substantial and beautifully presented five-bedroom linked-detached residence, built in 1968 and situated at the very end of a peaceful cul-de-sac on Pound Way in the highly regarded village of Swaffham Bulbeck. Extending to approximately 1,575 sq. ft. of versatile single-storey accommodation, plus loft spaces and garage, this impressive home occupies an enviable plot backing directly onto open countryside, offering a rare combination of space, privacy and far-reaching views. The property is linked to the neighbouring home via the garage only.

Notably, the homes on Pound Way were originally designed as part of a highly commended government-sponsored architectural design competition in the late 1960s and received recognition from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) — a detail that speaks to the thoughtful planning, distinctive rooflines and light-filled interiors that continue to set these properties apart today.

Approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-street parking and access to the garage, the property immediately impresses with its clean white-painted brickwork façade and contemporary glazing, while its end-of-cul-de-sac position ensures no passing traffic and a heightened sense of privacy.

Entering into a bright and welcoming entrance hall, enhanced by rooflights which flood the space with natural light, the tone is set for the quality and flow throughout. The heart of the home is the striking open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. This superb vaulted space features a warm timber ceiling, expansive glazing and sliding french doors opening onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out. The kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry and generous work surfaces, while the dining and seating areas offer excellent proportions for both everyday family life and entertaining. A contemporary wood-burning stove provides a focal point and cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.

In addition to the main living space, there are two further spacious reception rooms which can serve as separate sitting rooms or bedroom two, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom offering excellent proportions and a calm, neutral finish. A modern shower room and separate family bathroom serve the accommodation, both presented in clean, timeless tones.

Externally, the rear garden is a particular highlight. Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by hedging and fencing, it enjoys uninterrupted views across open fields, creating a peaceful and picturesque backdrop rarely found. A raised decked terrace provides the perfect space for outdoor dining, while the expansive lawn offers ample room for children to play or for keen gardeners to enjoy. The end-of-plot position further enhances the sense of openness and countryside living.

The property also benefits from a garage and extensive loft spaces, offering further storage or potential (subject to the necessary consents).

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and architecturally significant village home in one of the most desirable positions within the development, combining flexible accommodation, contemporary open-plan living and a truly outstanding garden aspect. Early viewing is highly recommended.
