4 bed detached house for sale

Orchard Close, Harston CB22

Tucked away at the very end of a quiet private road, this modern detached home offers generous space inside and out, nearly 2,000 sq ft of it, with countryside views and room to grow if needed.

It’s been thoughtfully designed for modern family life. The layout flows naturally, from the main living room, which has windows on all sides, so it’s always full of light, into a bright garden room with bi-fold doors and underfloor heating, perfect for summer evenings or Sunday brunches. That, in turn, opens into a sleek kitchen and dining space, complete with granite worktops, Bosch appliances, and a sociable island for coffee mornings or homework marathons.

There’s also a separate family room at the front, ideal as a playroom, snug or even a generous home office and a large utility that keeps the everyday mess out of sight. The ground floor also has a cloakroom and great storage under the stairs.

All four bedrooms are good sizes and there’s no fighting for showers, two have their own en-suites, and the main bathroom has been finished to a high standard with modern tiling and fittings.

The garden is a real highlight, it's a mix of lawn and landscaped seating areas, with views over open farmland and space for children, dogs or summer BBQs. There’s also a double garage with power and light, plus a wide block-paved driveway for multiple cars.

Positioned in a well-served village just a few miles south of Cambridge, this home offers both space and setting, with the flexibility to grow into, thanks to its generous plot and extension potential (STP).

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 (approximately 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, doctor's surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
