The White Acre, Sawston

A thoughtfully arranged three-bedroom home, built in 2023 and set within a modern village development in Sawston. Constructed by the highly regarded local bespoke builder Bowson Leeway, the property stands apart from many conventional new-build homes thanks to its exceptional quality of construction and carefully considered specification. Combining efficient contemporary design with premium finishes throughout, the house offers beautifully balanced accommodation alongside a rear garden that has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owner, giving the property a far more established feel than is often found in homes of this age.

The ground floor is arranged around a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room extending across the rear of the house and opening directly onto the garden through wide glazed doors. It is a sociable, highly practical space with room to cook, dine and relax without compromise. Beautiful herringbone oak flooring runs throughout the living area, adding warmth and character, while the kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, premium integrated appliances, a peninsula breakfast bar and elegant quartz worktops, reflecting the high specification synonymous with Bowson Leeway homes.

At the front of the house, a separate study provides valuable flexibility for home working, hobbies or occasional guest use. There is also a utility room with WC, ensuring laundry and day-to-day practicalities remain separate from the main living accommodation.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, all finished to the same high standard with quality fixtures and fittings. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and rooflights, while the two additional bedrooms enjoy pleasant views across the rear garden.

The rear garden is a particular highlight. Carefully landscaped by the current owner with paved seating areas, planted borders, lawn, raised beds and a garden shed, it provides an attractive and established outdoor space that is both easy to maintain and ready to enjoy. Full-width glazed doors create a seamless connection between the house and garden, particularly during the warmer months. To the front, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces, while an air source heat pump provides an energy-efficient heating system, complementing the home's modern construction and excellent environmental credentials.

Sawston is one of the largest villages to the near south of the city, situated about 3 miles from the city boundary and around 4 miles from the Addenbrookes Hospital campus. It also gives excellent access to the M11 (J10 3 miles) with swift access to Stansted Airport which is around 21 miles or 37 minutes away.

There are good cycle routes to the mainline railway station at Whittlesford (1.5 miles) and the science parks at Babraham (2 miles) and Abington (3.5 miles).

The village has a fantastic range of local shops including a small supermarket, various restaurants and takeaways, an excellent modern health centre, primary schools and the high achieving Sawston Village College, which has a sports centre, gym and swimming pool that are open to the public.

There is very little need to leave the village for day-to-day living.
