Description

Introduction

We are delighted to offer for sale this much improved and deceptively spacious detached home, occupying a generous West facing plot approaching 0.20 of an acre in a highly desirable non-estate location on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Bassingbourn, yet just a few minutes from the market town of Royston. Offering 1961sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation, the property provides excellent versatility for modern family living, whilst also offering considerable scope for further enlargement, subject to the necessary planning consents. Having been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, the property is presented in excellent decorative order throughout and benefits from a recently replaced boiler and oil tank and air-conditioning unit, a reversible system that can heat too The property is also offered for sale with no upward chain.

Step Inside

The front door opens to a welcoming reception hall. Doors open to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying a bay fronted aspect, one with a fitted wardrobe. These rooms offer excellent flexibility and, for those not requiring four bedrooms, could equally lend themselves to use as a home office, study, dressing room or additional reception space. There is a large ground floor bathroom with a five piece suite comprising a walk in shower enclosure, bath, low level WC and a twin wash basin inset into a vanity unit. Fully tiled walls and flooring.
The rear of the property is undoubtedly the heart of the home, with a superb open-plan living and dining room providing an impressive space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The generous lounge area features a fireplace with a recently installed multi fuel stove creating an attractive focal point, while wood flooring flows seamlessly through into the dining area. Wall-mounted air-conditioning unit, providing cooling and heating. . The adjoining kitchen enjoys an abundance of natural light, with windows and doors overlooking and opening directly onto the rear garden. The refitted kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by granite work surfaces, an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer with a water softener and a drinking water filtration system. Integrated oven, four-ring electric hob and extractor. Large pantry unit and there is also space for a fridge/freezer. The utility room with newly fitted wiring and plumbing and offers direct access to the garage and rear garden. The cloakroom has a low level WC. Butler Sink.

To the first floor, a generous landing with Velux roof window and access to eave storage and provides access to two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage. A useful large first-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation and provides an additional WC and wash basin. There is space for an additional shower if required.

Step Outside

Outside, the property continues to impress. The large and mature rear garden is a particular highlight, with a substantial paved patio and pergola immediately adjoining the house, creating an excellent area for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, the majority of the garden is laid to lawn and complemented by established shrub planting and a wealth of mature trees to the boundaries. The result is a wonderfully private and tranquil setting, with a distinctly semi-rural feel that belies the property's convenient proximity to Royston. Summerhouse with attached garden shed.

The home is approached by a good-size gated driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles. Garage with up and over door.
