3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

An attractive, significantly extended, 1930's semi, with a lovely, dual aspect, open plan living space, a long 50m (160 ft) south-easterly facing rear garden, and off road parking. The property benefits from an energy efficient, C rated EPC and is offered with no upward chain.

The property is presented in lovely order throughout and has a bright, contemporary kitchen, with a vaulted ceiling and roof lights, a log burner in the sitting room and main bedroom, and lots of lovely character features.

Approached over a neat front garden, there is an area of gravel for parking on one side and a lawn with shrubs and borders on the other. The front door is set beneath a canopy which provides protection from the elements as you go in and there is a small entrance hall. The living space is open plan and dual aspect, enjoying lots of natural light. There is a cosy sitting area set around the fireplace which is inset with a log burner, and the adjacent dining area has glazed double doors overlooking the garden. The kitchen opens off the dining space and is beautifully fitted with a wide range of cabinets set above and below the working surfaces. There is a double oven and a gas hob with an extractor over, an integrated fridge freezer, and space for a dishwasher.

The bathroom is on the ground floor and is fitted with a bath with shower over and hand basin. There is also a utility/cloakroom which has a w.c. and hand basin and a large utility cupboard that houses the washing machine.

On the first floor the landing opens to three bedrooms, two doubles, and a single. The main bedroom is a bright dual aspect room with a fireplace inset with a log burner, a built in cupboard, and lovely views to the front and rear over paddocks. The second bedroom has a built in cupboard and views over the rear garden, and there is a smaller single room with views over the front.

Outside the rear garden has been thoughtfully planned and planted. There is a generous patio adjacent to the property, with a shrub bed and a pergola providing an area of shade in the summer months. A picket fence divides this area from a large expanse of lawn interspersed with trees and shrubs, and there is a sunken garden that was formerly a pond, which could be easily reinstated if required. The third zone is a productive area with raised vegetable beds and fruit trees, a shed, and a greenhouse, and at the very far end, there is another lawned area with trees and shrubs that is an ideal spot for sitting and enjoying the view.

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. There is also a regular bus service, which is a most useful asset.

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