Deacon Drive, Trumpington

A modern four-bedroom detached house arranged over three floors, offering well-balanced accommodation extending to approximately 1,143 sq ft, with off-road parking, EV charging, solar panels and an enclosed rear garden. Occupying a contemporary development in Trumpington, the property is particularly well suited to buyers seeking flexible living space within easy reach of the city, Addenbrooke’s and major transport links.

The house has a practical and versatile layout, with the ground floor centred around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space overlooking the garden. Full-height glazing and doors to the rear provide good natural light throughout the day and create a straightforward connection to the outside space. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of contemporary units and integrated appliances, while the open-plan arrangement allows space for both dining and everyday family living. A separate study/bedroom 4 at the front of the house provides useful flexibility, whether as a home office, guest bedroom or additional family accommodation, alongside a cloakroom and additional storage within the entrance hall.

The accommodation is arranged across the upper two floors, which gives a degree of separation between living and sleeping areas that will appeal to families and buyers needing adaptable space. The principal bedroom occupies the first floor and benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Also on this level is a further reception room which could function equally well as a sitting room, playroom or fourth bedroom depending on requirements. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms together with the family bathroom. Throughout, the interiors are presented in a clean, modern style with a consistent finish and good natural light, while fitted shutters throughout the house provide both privacy and a smart, cohesive finish.

Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed and designed for straightforward maintenance, with a paved terrace directly adjoining the house and a generous lawn beyond. A substantial timber shed provides additional storage, while gated side access leads to the driveway and EV charging point. The addition of solar panels offers improved energy efficiency and can help reduce ongoing household running costs.

Trumpington is a village. Not very many years ago it felt like one too, but since 2013 a wonderful new community has grown up around it, linking it to the city and turning it into a bustling, self-contained suburb. It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk. The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all and construction for its station, Cambridge South, is now underway with expected completion in 2026.

The area has three primary schools and a state-of-the-art secondary school built in 2016 with excellent sporting facilities that are available to the community outside school hours. Many of the city's finest private schools are within easy cycling distance. There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, a barber, GP surgery, a pharmacy, a library, a performance space and a community centre. There is a major Waitrose supermarket and two smaller Sainsbury's.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester and there is a second country park and wildlife reserve between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus. Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester. You very much feel part of the city in Trumpington but also right on the doorstep of the countryside.
