Malthouse Way, Barrington

Malthouse Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached home in the established South Cambridgeshire village of Barrington. Extending to approximately 1,008 sq ft, the house has already seen worthwhile investment in its electrical installation, kitchen and bathroom, while deliberately leaving the final choice of flooring to its next owner. The result is a practical family home with much of the more involved work addressed, but still enough scope to finish it to individual taste.

The ground floor is particularly useful. A separate sitting room sits to the front, with glazed double doors connecting it to the kitchen/dining room behind. This creates a good relationship between the two principal living spaces without making everything entirely open plan. The kitchen is a notable part of the house, fitted with deep green cabinetry, solid work surfaces, integrated cooking appliances and a peninsula incorporating the hob and additional storage. There is ample room for a dining table and French doors open directly onto the garden. Beyond this is a substantial utility area, together with a ground-floor WC, giving the house considerably more practical space than the kitchen alone might suggest. The property has also been rewired.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which comfortably accommodate double beds, alongside a third room that would work equally well as a child's bedroom or dedicated study. The bathroom has been replaced with a contemporary suite, including a bath with separate shower arrangement. Exposed timber floorboards remain through much of the first floor; the flooring has intentionally not been completed, allowing a buyer to choose carpet or hard flooring rather than inherit somebody else's selection.

The rear garden is enclosed and has a useful combination of lawn, planted areas and paving immediately behind the house. There is also a detached garage, approximately 20'2" in length, providing useful parking, storage or workshop space.

Barrington remains one of South Cambridgeshire's most established villages, offering a balance between village surroundings and accessibility. The village has a strong sense of community and sits within convenient reach of Cambridge, with nearby road and rail connections providing access for commuters while retaining the pace and setting that many buyers seek outside the city.
