4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within a quiet, established position in the centre of Bourn a short walk from the school, nursery, doctors, this substantial detached home offers close to 2,000 sq ft of internal accommodation, sitting comfortably within a plot of approximately 0.16 acres. The house is well set back from the road, with a broad frontage, generous parking and a private rear garden, creating a setting that feels both contained and well-proportioned.

Internally, the layout is arranged with day-to-day practicality in mind. The contemporary kitchen forms a natural focal point, with a large central island, integrated appliances, ample storage and direct connection to the adjoining open plan dining and living room, where full-height glazing brings in consistent natural light and provides an easy link to the outside space. A separate sitting room offers a more contained and quieter environment, giving flexibility for different uses. A utility room and plant room sit discreetly to one side, ensuring the working elements of the house are kept separate from the main living areas. Overall, the ground floor balances open, sociable space with more private areas, well suited to modern family life, home working and entertaining.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is well-proportioned, with built in wardrobes and an en suite with a unique dual shower. The three further rooms can adapt to changing needs, whether as children’s bedrooms, guest accommodation or study space and all benefit from built in storage and are served by a family bathroom with bathtub with shower over.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a paved terrace directly adjoining the house, providing a straightforward and usable space for outdoor dining and everyday use. The plot is enclosed and benefits from a good degree of privacy, with established boundaries. Beyond the garage, a separate workshop adds a useful layer of flexibility for storage, hobbies or more practical requirements. To the front, a wide driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles alongside the garage.
