High Street, Barrington, Cambridge

An individual detached chalet style residence offering flexible and well-planned accommodation set within wonderful gardens and grounds extending to 0.75 acres and located centrally within this pretty and sought-after village.

The property occupies a wonderful position set back and screened from the road overlooking the village green of this highly sought-after village. The primary school, village green and amenities are all on the doorstep. The property was constructed in the mid 1970's and subsequently extended on three occasions almost doubling the size of the original property to approximately 2125 sqft.

The beautiful gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres with ample parking to the front and rear plus a large detached double garage.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall with three reception rooms which include a sitting room with parkray multi-fuel burner, dining room and a music/play room with lovely views of the garden to the rear. The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous space fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted working surfaces and breakfast bar, with inset one and a half sink unit, mixer tap and drainer, four ring ceramic hob, double oven, extractor plus space for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Just off is a handy utility room which accommodates the usual white goods. There are four ground floor bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. A spiral staircase leads to the first floor accommodation where there is a large master bedroom with a virtually glazed rear elevation incorporating doors out to a balcony with wonderful views of the garden beyond, plus an en-suite WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, there is a gravel driveway to the front of the property accommodating multiple vehicles. To the side of the neighbouring properties is a private lane called Slid Lane with vehicular access that leads to a five bar gate beyond which is an additional parking area and a detached double garage with two up and over doors, power and light connected. The rear garden is certainly worthy of note with formal manicured lawns with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds, a large paved patio , a wide and varied selection of mature trees and bushes, a fish and a wildlife pond, wildlife meadow and orchard, fruit, veg and herb garden plus greenhouse, a shed, a summerhouse and all enjoy excellent levels of privacy and seclusion.
