The Paddock, Harston

Set within an established residential area of Harston, this detached four-bedroom home offers well-proportioned accommodation, a generous rear garden and an integral garage. The house has been in the same ownership for many years and now presents a clear opportunity for thoughtful updating, allowing an incoming buyer to modernise and adapt the space to suit their own preferences. The overall plot, layout and room sizes provide a solid foundation for long-term family living.

The ground floor is arranged around a central entrance hall with a cloakroom and staircase rising to the first floor. The principal living and dining room extends across to the rear of the house, creating a notably long and versatile space with a wide window to the front and sliding doors opening into the conservatory at the rear. This arrangement allows for clearly defined seating and dining areas while maintaining a good sense of connection to the garden.

The kitchen sits adjacent to the dining area and overlooks the rear garden, with a practical range of cupboards and work surfaces. A separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry space and direct access to the back garden, offering useful day-to-day practicality, particularly for families.

Upstairs, the first floor provides four bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The main bedroom sits to the rear of the house, with three further bedrooms offering flexibility for children, guests or home working. A shower room with basin and WC serve the bedrooms, positioned conveniently off the landing.

Outside, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-street parking and access to the integral garage. The rear garden is south facing and a particularly appealing feature, extending to a good depth and laid mainly to lawn with established planting and mature trees, creating a private and usable outdoor space.

Harston is a popular village about 5 miles south of Cambridge on the A10 and has an excellent range of day-to-day facilities. It has convenient road links to Cambridge, Royston and London, with the M11 being only a few minutes’ drive away, a regular bus service, and a new purpose-built, road traffic free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington and on to the city.

The village is well placed for Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approx. 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles. Whittlesford Parkway for links to London Liverpool Street is also easily accessible.

Within the village, there is an Ofsted ‘Good’ rated primary school in walking distance, a restaurant, a doctors’ surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, a village hall, hairdresser, café, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children’s playground. Many of the city’s private schools along Trumpington Road are also within a 4-mile radius. This location is perfect for those seeking more space and tranquillity than city homes typically offer, whilst still maintaining close links to Cambridge.
