The Grove, Great Cambourne, CB23

Set within a quiet private road in one of Great Cambourne’s most desirable family settings, 3 The Grove is a substantial executive five-bedroom detached home offering 1978 sqft of living accommodation, plus a double garage, taking the total floor area to approximately 2287 sqft.

Built in 2005 and really well presented throughout, this is a proper family home with the sort of space, layout and privacy that is becoming increasingly hard to find. Positioned in a peaceful cul-de-sac and backing directly onto mature woodland, the property offers a premium setting with a real sense of seclusion, while still being close to the schools, shops, parks and amenities that make Great Cambourne so popular with families.

The ground floor is particularly well suited to modern family life. A generous entrance hallway creates an immediate feeling of space, with access to a large living room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and a dedicated office. The living room is a superb size, measuring approximately 18’4” x 14’1”, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. It is a bright, comfortable room with plenty of space for family evenings, entertaining guests or simply shutting the door and escaping the chaos, a rare luxury if you have children.

The separate dining room sits to the front of the property and provides an excellent formal entertaining space, while still being practical enough for day-to-day family use. The kitchen is positioned at the rear and overlooks the garden, fitted with a generous range of units, worktop space, integrated storage and room for informal dining. A separate utility room keeps the laundry and household clutter tucked away, which any family buyer will appreciate far more than they’ll admit on a viewing.

For those working from home, this house is especially strong. There is a purpose-used ground floor office, while bedroom five is currently also used as a further study/home office. This makes the layout ideal for couples who both work remotely, teenagers needing study space, or families who want a proper work-from-home setup without sacrificing the main living areas. The size of the rear garden may also offer scope for an office pod or further extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Upstairs, the property continues to deliver. The principal bedroom is an excellent suite, complete with dressing area and en-suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, two of which also benefit from their own en-suites, along with a family bathroom. In total, the home offers 4.5 bathrooms, making it particularly well suited to larger families, multi-generational living, visiting guests, older children, or anyone who simply wants enough bathrooms to avoid the usual morning queue.

The bedroom layout is one of the strongest selling points of the house. Three en-suite bedrooms give the property a real sense of flexibility and make it feel more premium than many standard five-bedroom homes in the area. Bedroom two and bedroom three are both strong doubles, bedroom four works well as a child’s room or nursery, and bedroom five is ideal as a further bedroom, dressing room or office.

Outside, the rear garden is a standout feature. It is private, secure and beautifully screened by mature planting, with the woodland backdrop giving it a peaceful, green outlook. There is a lawned area for children and pets, a decked seating area immediately off the house for summer dining, and further space to the side and rear for entertaining, play equipment, storage or future landscaping. It feels genuinely usable rather than just “there”, which is where a lot of family gardens fall flat.

To the front, the property sits attractively within the private road, with driveway parking and access to a detached double garage measuring approximately 17’10” x 17’4”. The garage provides excellent storage, parking, gym potential or hobby space, depending on how a buyer wants to use it.
