5 bedroom detached house for sale

Wheatstone is a substantial detached family home, built in the 1990s and tucked away along a peaceful no through lane shared with only a few properties. It is set back from the road behind mature hedging, with a generous driveway, double garage, and a beautifully established garden that includes lawns, terraces, and a secluded orchard area. The location offers both tranquillity and convenience, being just a short walk from village amenities and the primary school.

The light and versatile interior includes two reception rooms, one with a recently installed Morso squirrel wood burner, a conservatory, a well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with utility/boot room, and a study that can also serve as a fifth bedroom. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four good-sized bedrooms including a principal suite with en suite, and a family bathroom. The property has been thoughtfully updated with solar panels and battery storage, triple glazing, a new composite front door, upgraded heating system with smart controls, and a pressurised hot water cylinder. Offering both modern efficiency and scope for future enlargement, Wheatstone is a superbly presented home within easy reach of Cambridge.

The village is mostly residential with some local employment in agriculture and many residents commute to Cambridge or Newmarket. The housing stock is mostly Victorian or older, with a few modest-sized modern estates. A village green adjoins the churchyard, and there is a post office and general store, village hall and social club. The village has a strong interest in sport and have teams in cricket and football, while darts and indoor bowls are favourites at the social club.
