Church Street, Haslingfield

A handsome detached period home occupying a generous plot with a mature west-facing garden, ample off-street parking and the benefit of no upward chain. Extending to over 1,180 sq ft, plus a detached studio, the property offers well-balanced accommodation with scope for a new owner to update and adapt over time, while enjoying the property's unique character and setting.

The ground floor is arranged around a central entrance hall, opening to a comfortable triple aspect living room. The sitting area features exposed ceiling timbers and an attractive brick fireplace provides a natural focal point, whilst the dining space enjoys excellent natural light and direct access via French doors to the lean-to and garden beyond. The kitchen is positioned to the front of the house and is fitted with a range of cabinets set above and below the working surfaces. There is a built-in oven, microwave and hob, and ample storage. A separate utility room adjacent to the kitchen provides a sink and drainer, additional storage cupboards, and space for a washing machine. A wet room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs is a family bathroom and three bedrooms: two doubles and a single. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double overlooking the garden, while the second bedroom also offers comfortable proportions. The third bedroom would work equally well as a child's room, a study, or a dedicated home office. All three have built in storage.

The outside space is a notable feature. To the front, a large gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles. To the rear, the mature west-facing garden has been carefully established over many years, with lawns, established trees, shrubs and planted borders creating a private and attractive setting throughout the seasons. A detached studio offers valuable additional space, suitable for hobbies, home working or creative pursuits, separate from the main house.

Properties of this nature tend to appeal to buyers seeking a village or semi-rural setting, generous outside space and a home with long-term potential. The combination of period character, practical accommodation, extensive parking and a substantial garden creates a compelling opportunity for those looking to establish themselves in a property they can gradually make their own.

Haslingfield is a lovely, traditional village about 4 miles south-west of the city boundary. It is far enough out that it feels like a village, but close enough to offer easy access to Cambridge, the A10 or the M11. For cyclists there is a network of bridleways and permissive routes to Grantchester, Trumpington and Harston.

Within the village there is a pre-school and local primary school rated 'good' by Ofsted, there is also a post office and general store and an independent cafe. The thriving community has various sporting and social clubs, groups and societies. There is a village hall, an excellent playground, a recreation ground and separate skate park.
