Built by Redrow Homes in 2022 and occupying a generous corner plot, this beautifully presented detached home combines the ease of modern living with the space, specification and village setting that family buyers are often searching for. Immaculately maintained and enhanced with a number of bespoke upgrades, this is a home where the hard work has already been done. Simply unpack and enjoy it.

One of the great strengths of the house is just how well the space works for everyday family life. At the front, the bay fronted sitting room provides a generous but more peaceful living space, somewhere to properly switch off in the evening or escape from the activity elsewhere in the house.

The real heart of the home, however, is found across the rear. The open plan kitchen, dining and family room stretches the width of the property and creates exactly the sort of sociable space modern families want. There is room to cook, eat, entertain and relax together without everything feeling squeezed into one area, while the large glazed doors open directly onto the garden and bring plenty of natural light into the room.

The kitchen itself has been upgraded with Silestone work surfaces, extensive cabinetry and integrated appliances, complemented by Amtico flooring that continues through much of the ground floor. The kitchen also has a water filter and softener. A separate utility room, also finished with a Silestone work surface, keeps washing machines, laundry and the general clutter of family life away from the main kitchen, while additional storage and a downstairs WC complete a very practical ground floor.

Upstairs is where this home becomes particularly unusual. Rather than squeezing in a fourth bedroom for the sake of a number on the particulars, the accommodation has been designed around three proper double bedrooms, and remarkably, every bedroom has its own en suite.

The principal bedroom is a superb suite in its own right, with another attractive bay window, a substantial fitted walk in wardrobe and an exceptionally spacious four piece en suite with both a bath and separate walk in shower. The remaining two bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each with its own private shower room, making the layout equally well suited to children growing into teenagers, regular guests or family members working from home.

Outside, the corner position gives the property a more open feel than many modern developments and provides a good size enclosed rear garden with plenty of lawn for children and pets, alongside patio space for summer dining and entertaining. There is also useful additional space around the detached garage, giving future owners plenty of scope to create a play area, vegetable garden or simply make more of the outdoor space.

A driveway provides off road parking and leads to the detached garage, which benefits from an electric door and offers secure parking, storage or valuable additional space for bikes, sports equipment and everything else that inevitably comes with family life.

Location - The Village Of Cottenham

Cottenham is one of those villages that gives families the space and community feel they are looking for without making Cambridge feel like a distant day trip. Sitting around five miles north of the city, it offers a noticeably slower pace of life, with open countryside, footpaths and cycling routes surrounding the village, while Cambridge, Cambridge North station and the major employment areas to the north of the city remain within easy reach.

For families, schooling is a major part of Cottenham’s appeal. Cottenham Primary School was rated 'Good' at its most recent Ofsted inspection, with both Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development judged 'Outstanding'. Cottenham Village College, the village’s secondary school for ages 11 to 16, was also rated 'Good' by Ofsted.

The village is particularly well equipped for day to day family life. There is a Co-op, Post Office, pharmacy, GP surgery and dental practice, alongside cafés, pubs and other independent businesses, meaning many everyday essentials can be dealt with without heading into Cambridge. Cottenham Community Centre also provides a popular village hub with a coffee shop, classes and regular activities.

There is plenty to keep children active too. Cottenham’s recreation facilities include an extensive selection of football pitches, while cricket, tennis and other sports are well represented locally. Additional facilities at Cottenham Village College include an all weather 3G pitch and tennis and ball sports courts. It gives the village that increasingly rare combination of proper local facilities and plenty of room for children to simply get outside.

For commuters, road links towards the A14 and A10 make Cambridge and the wider region readily accessible, while the village also has bus connections towards Cambridge. Yet despite that connectivity, Cottenham retains its own identity and is surrounded by the flat, open Cambridgeshire countryside that makes walking, running and cycling from home so easy.

For buyers moving out of Cambridge in search of more space, Cottenham makes a great deal of sense. You gain a great sized family home, garden and garage, strong local schooling, sports facilities and everyday amenities, but remain close enough to Cambridge for work, commuting and everything the city has to offer.
