An attractive, significantly extended, 1930‘s semi, with a
lovely, dual aspect, open plan living space, a long 50m 160 ft
south easterly facing rear garden, and off road parking. The
property benefits from an energy efficient, C rated EPC and is
offered with no upward chain.
The property is presented in lovely order throughout and has a
bright, contemporary kitchen, with a vaulted ceiling and roof
lights, a log burner in the sitting room and main bedroom, and lots
of lovely character features.
Approached over a neat front garden, there is an area of
gravel for parking on one side and a lawn with shrubs and borders
on the other. The front door is set beneath a canopy which provides
protection from the elements as you go in and there is a small
entrance hall. The living space is open plan and dual aspect,
enjoying lots of natural light. There is a cosy sitting area set
around the fireplace which is inset with a log burner, and the
adjacent dining area has glazed double doors overlooking the
garden. The kitchen opens off the dining space and is beautifully
fitted with a wide range of cabinets set above and below the
working surfaces. There is a double oven and a gas hob with an
extractor over, an integrated fridge freezer, and space for a
dishwasher.
The bathroom is on the ground floor and is fitted with a bath
with shower over, w.c. and hand basin. There is also a utility
cloakroom which has a w.c. and hand basin and a large utility
cupboard that houses the washing machine.
On the first floor the landing opens to three bedrooms, two
doubles, and a single. The main bedroom is a bright dual aspect
room with a fireplace inset with a log burner, a built in cupboard,
and lovely views to the front and rear over paddocks. The second
bedroom has a built in cupboard and views over the rear garden, and
there is a smaller single room with views over the front.
Outside the rear garden has been thoughtfully planned and
planted. There is a generous patio adjacent to the property, with a
shrub bed and a pergola providing an area of shade in the summer
months. A picket fence divides this area from a large expanse of
lawn interspersed with trees and shrubs, and there is a sunken
garden that was formerly a pond, which could be easily reinstated
if required. The third zone is a productive area with raised
vegetable beds and fruit trees, a shed, and a greenhouse, and at
the very far end, there is another lawned area with trees and
shrubs that is an ideal spot for sitting and enjoying the
view.
Harston is the first village coming south out of Cambridge on
the A10 and has an excellent range of day to day facilities, plus
exceptionally easy road links both into the city and south towards
Royston and London.
A new purpose built, road traffic free cycle route has
recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington and on to
the city. There is also a regular bus service, which is a most
useful asset.
The village is the right side of town for the Addenbrooke‘s
Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington and Great
Chesterford and Foxton‘s mainline railway station to Cambridge c.
13 minutes and London Kings Cross less than 1 hour is within 2
miles.
Within the parish there is an Ofsted ‘Good‘ rated primary
school, a restaurant, doctors‘ surgery with dispensary, an
excellent local shop with Post Office counter, village hall,
hairdresser, petrol filling station and a large recreation ground
with a recently improved children‘s playground.
