4 bed detached house for sale

West Drive, Highfields Caldecote, Cambridge CB23

A beautifully designed modern home, built to a high specification with exceptional attention to detail and thoughtfully planned open-plan living spaces. This recently completed house, on a quiet residential road, has been built independently resulting in a finish, quality and character that many new builds lack.

The ground floor living area is predominantly open plan, with the stunning open-plan kitchen being the focus of this generous living space. With a sleek central island incorporating both a double sink and induction hob; high-end Corian worktops; and integrated appliances, the kitchen is well equipped for everyday family living and entertaining. The living space is bathed in natural light and flows seamlessly onto the large terraced patio through two sets of bifold doors with level access.

There is side access into the rear lobby, from which you can directly access the kitchen; large single garage; and downstairs WC. The garage, with an electrically-operated up-and-over door also houses the hot water cylinder; plant equipment; and a utility area with sink and plenty of space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, the beautifully handcrafted bespoke wooden switchback staircase leads to four spacious double bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a thoughtfully designed Jack and Jill en suite shared between bedrooms three and four. The principal bedroom is particularly special, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the generous easterly-facing rear garden – a serene spot to enjoy the morning sun. There is a walk-through wardrobe leading to the spectacular principle ensuite which as well as a walk-in shower, features a large bath, with the whole space lit by natural light from an overhead roof window. Bedroom two at the front of the property also has a dedicated ensuite shower room, and there is access to the eaves for storage.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden offers both privacy and ample space, ideal for kids, keen gardeners or summer gatherings and the raised vegetable patch is a lovely addition. At the end of the garden is a large studio with its own shower room – which could be utilised as a home office, guest suite or gym. At the front of the property the large driveway provides ample off-street parking. The front boundary is finished with a beautiful part dry stone and brick wall for added kerb appeal.

This is a versatile, high-specification home in a popular village location, offering a rare combination of comfort, practicality, and contemporary design. The home also benefits from energy-efficient features, including hot water underfloor heating throughout the ground floor; an eco-friendly air source heat pump; and high specification insulation.
