4 bed detached house for sale

London Road, Harston CB22

A detached family home providing around 193 sqm / 2,077 sqft of bright, stylish, well planned living accommodation. Set back more than 80 ft (26 m) from the road within a mature 0.26-acre plot, the property offers exceptional privacy while being ideally placed for Cambridge, the M11, and nearby villages.

Approached over a neat front garden, the front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall with modern pannelling and the staircase leading up to the first floor.

To the rear of the property lies a generously proportioned contemporary living space incorporating kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. This beautifully designed space is flooded with natural light and features a striking island unit along with bi-folding doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. To the front of the house is an elegant sitting room fitted with a log burner, perfect for more formal occasions, or cozy evenings by the fire, whilst a large family room provides versatility as a playroom, home office, or additional reception space. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a utility room and adjoining boot room providing direct garden access, and a ground-floor shower room adding further convenience.

Upstairs, the accommodation is equally well arranged. The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while three further double bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family life or guests. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor.

The house is approached via a gravel driveway that provides ample parking, and natural screening ensures a sense of seclusion and privacy as you approach the house. To the rear, the garden extends to around 40 m (130 ft) and offers an exceptional degree of privacy, backing onto a garden/nature reserve. A large timber shed provides excellent storage.

Agents note: The family room, utility, and shower room could easily be converted into a separate, independent annexe if required.

London Road is a wide and leafy street lined with impressive homes. It leads away from the A10 and Harston towards Little Shelford and Newton.

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.

The village is the right side of town for 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, a doctors' surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, a village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
