St Edmund's Way, Hauxton

A substantial modern family house in Hauxton, with a large kitchen/dining room opening to the enclosed rear garden, benefitting from two reception rooms, four well-balanced bedrooms including a primary bedroom with en-suite, making it a practical and adaptable family home with convenient access towards Cambridge, Addenbrooke’s and the Biomedical Campus.

The ground floor is centred around a generous kitchen/dining room extending across the rear of the house providing a light and bright everyday space, with room for a dining table and broad glazed doors giving views and access directly to the back garden. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, including a double oven, gas hob and extractor, with good worktop space and plentiful storage. A separate utility room sits alongside, with its own external door, helping keep laundry and household storage away from the main living areas.

To the front, the sitting room is a well-proportioned and comfortable reception room with windows to two aspects. A further ground-floor reception room gives the plan useful flexibility as a children’s space, a study, music room or occasional guest room, depending on a buyer’s needs. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms arranged around a central landing, with the principal bedroom having its own en-suite shower room. The remaining three double bedrooms are supported by a family bathroom and airing cupboard. This gives the house useful longevity for buyers who need children’s rooms, guest space and home-working options without having to compromise the main living areas.

The rear garden is enclosed and mainly laid to lawn, with doors from the kitchen/breakfast room giving direct access to the terrace. A detached garage sits beyond the driveway, providing parking and storage separate from the house.

Agent's Note: The kitchen and principal bedroom both benefit from installed air conditioning.
