Property Insight
Set behind a gated gravel driveway on a generous corner plot in the heart of Bassingbourn, this detached period home extends to almost 2,000 sq ft and offers a rare depth of flexible living space, with fields within view and open countryside beyond. Rendered elevations, a chimney stack and multi-pane windows give it genuine character, while a run of single-storey additions has created room well above what the frontage suggests. Offered with no upward chain, it makes an immediate family home with a mix of formal, informal and dedicated leisure space seldom found at this level.

The heart of the house is a bright, connected run of living space. The sitting room centres on a wood-burning stove set into an exposed brick chimney breast with a timber mantel, opening through to a dining area with French doors to the garden. The kitchen is a characterful shaker-style room with timber worktops, a Belfast sink, a range cooker and exposed beams, running through to a utility and a ground-floor cloakroom. Beyond the everyday rooms sit a study with garden access, a carpeted play room, and a substantial cinema room of nearly 20 feet — a fitted media space that gives the house a real point of difference.

Upstairs are four bedrooms served by a family bathroom with both a roll-top bath and a separate shower. The principal and second bedrooms are comfortable doubles with fitted wardrobes, alongside two further bedrooms and a study/nursery. Outside is where the plot comes into its own: a landscaped garden with lawn, mature fruit trees and a paved pergola-covered terrace, a hot tub, a summer house, and a gated area to the rear. A rare opportunity to secure a characterful, much-extended family home in one of South Cambridgeshire's most established villages.

Location – Bassingbourn
Bassingbourn is a pretty parish village in South Cambridgeshire, a couple of miles north of Royston and 14 miles from Cambridge. The village has a network of 24 public rights of way extending over 13 miles, plus a further mile of permissive paths, giving ample opportunity for circular walks and linking the parish with Whaddon, Melbourn, Litlington and Abington Pigotts. Facilities include a doctor's surgery, a dental surgery, a garage, sub-Post Office, coffee shop, chemist, hairdressers and general grocers, alongside two pubs: The Hoops, in a 17th-century building in the village, and The Belle at North End. Bassingbourn Village College, Community Primary School and Pre-school sit on the edge of the village, providing education from the age of two and a half to school leaving age. The Church of St Peter and St Paul is older than the Church of England itself. Royston's mainline station offers fast services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross, with Meldreth a further option, and the A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive.
