4 bed detached house for sale

Common Lane, Sawston CB22

A comprehensively updated and much improved, single-storey home set in a notably attractive position overlooking meadows, offering a balanced layout of well-proportioned rooms and a private rear garden. The views and the convenient location make this a very special home.

The accommodation is arranged around a central entrance hall, with a generous, dual aspect living/dining room positioned to one side, offering good proportions for both everyday use and entertaining. The kitchen opens to the dining area and overlooks the rear garden, with bi-fold doors giving direct garden access, creating a natural connection between inside and out. The bedroom arrangement is practical and flexible, with four bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and built in wardrobes, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A separate utility room adds useful day-to-day functionality, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered.

The overall layout lends itself equally to family occupation or those seeking lateral living without compromise.

Outside, the garden is private and manageable, with space for seating and informal dining. Direct access from the kitchen makes it particularly convenient for al fresco dining through the warmer months. A garage provides secure storage or parking, complemented by additional driveway space.

The position, overlooking meadows, is a unique feature. It offers a quieter, more open aspect whilst being close to the village centre and amenities. This balance is likely to appeal to buyers seeking a more relaxed setting without losing easy access to schooling or day-to-day amenities.

A carefully refurbished home in a setting that will hold long-term appeal, and one that merits consideration for those who value both a quiet and practical location.

Sawston is one of the largest villages to the near south of the city, situated about 3 miles from the city boundary and around 4 miles from the Addenbrooke's campus. It also gives excellent access to the M11 (J10 3 miles).

There are good cycle routes to the mainline railway station at Whittlesford (1.5 miles) and the science parks at Babraham (2 miles) and Abington (3.5 miles).

The village has a fantastic range of local shops including a small supermarket, various restaurants and takeaways, an excellent modern health centre, primary schools and the high achieving Sawston Village College, which has a sports centre, gym and swimming pool that are open to the public.

There is very little need to leave the village for day-to-day living.
