The Limes, Sawston

Occupying a generous plot on a well-established residential road, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached home has been thoughtfully adapted to suit modern family life. The property combines a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining space with well-proportioned bedrooms, practical storage and off-street parking, making it a compelling option for buyers looking for a home they can grow into.

The accommodation has been arranged with everyday living in mind. To the front, the sitting room provides a comfortable separate reception space with a wide bay window bringing in plenty of natural light. To the rear, the property opens into an extended kitchen and dining room which forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, solid wood worktops and a central breakfast bar, while rooflights and glazed doors to the garden ensure the space feels bright throughout the day. There is ample room for both family dining and informal seating, creating a sociable environment suited to everyday use as well as entertaining.

A cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes. The remaining bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests or those working from home, served by a modern family bathroom finished with contemporary tiling and a shower over the bath.

To the front, a block-paved driveway provides off-street parking and gated side access leads to the rear garden. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a paved terrace adjoining the house, offering space for outdoor dining and children's play. A detached outbuilding provides useful storage for bikes, garden equipment or workshop use.

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.

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.
