3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Kings Grove, Barton CB23

Situated within an established residential position in Barton, 51 Kings Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached home that has been comprehensively updated, combining the character of an established property with the reassurance of substantial recent improvement works. The house is likely to appeal to buyers seeking a home where much of the fundamental work has already been completed, while retaining features that give the property a stronger sense of individuality and history.

Extending to approximately 915 sq ft, the accommodation follows a practical and familiar layout suited to both everyday family life and longer-term flexibility. The sitting room provides a comfortable principal reception space and is centred around a open fireplace (Baxi Burnall), creating a natural focal point and adding warmth and character. Original parquet flooring has been retained through the hallway, sitting room and dining room, introducing an element of period detail that sits comfortably alongside the more recent upgrades. The dining room offers a separate space for everyday meals and entertaining, while the kitchen has been recently replaced as part of the wider renovation works.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a newly fitted family bathroom, offering accommodation that can adapt to a range of needs, whether for families, home working or guest space.

The wider programme of improvements has included a complete rewire, new plumbing throughout, a new kitchen and a new bathroom, meaning much of the work often associated with updating a property has already been undertaken. The property also benefits from a heat pump heating system, improving efficiency and supporting modern living requirements.

Outside, the property continues to reflect its established setting. The garden provides usable outside space and the planting has matured over many years, creating a softer and more settled environment. A particular feature is the rose bush to the front of the property, understood to be approximately 100 years old and originating from one of the colleges in Cambridge, providing an unusual connection to the city's history and adding a detail not often found in more modern homes.

Barton is amongst the most desirable of the south Cambridgeshire villages, thanks to its charming countryside, character, and brilliant access into the city and to the M11. There are purpose-built cycleways alongside the A603, giving a particularly good commute into town by bike and a bridleway over to Grantchester, which serves as part of a 4.5-mile cycle commute to Addenbrooke's and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

The village has a particularly good range of facilities for its size including a post office and general store, a timber/building/diy store, two pubs, a recreation ground, a meadow and an Ofsted-rated 'Good' Primary School that feeds into Comberton Village College and Sixth Form. It is also home to Burwash Manor Barns, a collection of independent shops, a café, and an exhibition venue that hosts various events throughout the year.

Countryside surrounds the village and there are numerous pleasant walks across the fields, including a walk to Grantchester.
