Laxton Avenue, Hardwick

A substantial detached family house occupying a generous corner plot in Hardwick, a well-established village west of Cambridge. With over 2,100 sq ft of accommodation arranged across two floors, plus a separate garage, it offers the sort of scale and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find without moving further from the city.

The layout is offers defined individual spaces rather than one large open-plan area. The central hall gives a clear sense of arrival, with a sitting room and separate family room providing two sizeable reception spaces, both opening towards the garden. There is also a study, well placed for home working, alongside a dining room connected to the kitchen and utility area. The kitchen is practical in arrangement, with fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances and direct access through the utility, making the ground floor work well for day-to-day family life.

Upstairs, the accommodation is generous and balanced. There are five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom and a further bedroom also with its own en-suite shower room and built-in storage. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, giving the house the capacity to support children, guests, working from home, or multi-generational needs without obvious compromise.

Outside, the garden wraps around the house and is arranged with lawn, paved seating areas, mature planting and a good degree of enclosure. French doors from the main reception rooms create an easy connection to the outside space, while the paved terraces give practical areas for eating, sitting and family use. The detached garage sits separately within the plot and adds useful storage or parking.

Hardwick remains a consistently popular village for buyers seeking access to Cambridge while retaining a quieter setting. There are local shops and everyday amenities within the village itself, and regular bus routes provide connections into the city. For those commuting by car, the A428 offers a direct route towards Cambridge and the M11.
