3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Manor Close, Harston CB22

Set within a quiet residential close in Harston, this semi-detached house has been modernised to a high standard and offers a balanced, practical layout suited to everyday living. Its position within the cul-de-sac provides a more settled environment, while remaining within easy reach of Cambridge and the surrounding villages.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to approximately 734 sq ft. On the ground floor, the living/dining room spans the width of the house, creating a bright and usable main living space. The kitchen sits to the rear and has been updated with a clean, contemporary finish complemented by wood-effect worktops and tiled flooring. The layout provides a functional workspace with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, an oven and hob with extractor over, plus room for additional freestanding appliances. The large window overlooking the garden provides natural light and a pleasant outlook. A modernised family bathroom, storage closet and side access to the back garden completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms - two well-proportioned doubles with built in wardrobes and a third room that works comfortably as a single bedroom, study or nursery. The overall presentation is consistent throughout, with a level of finish that allows a buyer to move in without the need for immediate work.

Outside, the property benefits from a low-maintenance frontage, laid to gravel, providing off-street parking. To the rear, the garden is enclosed and primarily laid to lawn, offering a functional and usable outdoor space. A paved terrace sits adjacent to the house, providing space for seating and outdoor dining, while established boundary fencing and mature planting along the rear edge create a sense of privacy. A timber outbuilding provides useful storage or potential for hobby use, and the overall plot is designed to be easily maintained without compromising on function.

Harston is a popular village about 5 miles south of Cambridge on the A10 and has an excellent range of day-to-day facilities. It has convenient road links to Cambridge, Royston and London, with the M11 being only a few minutes’ drive away, a regular bus service, and 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 well placed for Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approx. 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles. Whittlesford Parkway for links to London Liverpool Street is also easily accessible.

Within the village, there is an Ofsted ‘Good’ rated primary school in walking distance, a restaurant, a doctors’ surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, a village hall, hairdresser, café, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children’s playground. Many of the city’s private schools along Trumpington Road are also within a 4-mile radius. This location is perfect for those seeking more space and tranquillity than city homes typically offer, whilst still maintaining close links to Cambridge.
