A rare opportunity to acquire a cleverly extended semi-detached home, offering spacious and highly versatile accommodation throughout, set within a sought-after village location with excellent access to local amenities, Cambridge and key commuter routes. The property has been thoughtfully enhanced to create a superb balance of practical living space and open-plan design, centred around an impressive kitchen and dining area that opens onto a private and mature rear garden.
The ground floor is both welcoming and functional, beginning with an entrance hall leading to a well-proportioned study at the front of the property, ideal for home working or a quiet retreat. A useful boot room and cloakroom sit just beyond, adding to the practicality of the layout. The main sitting room provides a cosy yet spacious setting, complete with a woodburning stove, and flows seamlessly through to a bright and airy family room.
At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, designed for modern living and entertaining, featuring a vaulted ceiling and direct access to the garden. This area benefits from underfloor heating throughout, enhancing comfort year-round. The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances including a built-in oven and microwave. A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing additional storage and keeping everyday tasks neatly out of sight.
Upstairs, the first floor offers well-balanced accommodation with five bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden and benefits from built-in storage and a private ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are all generously sized and versatile, ideal for family living, guests or further workspace if required. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, with the added benefit of underfloor heating in the bathrooms for extra comfort.
Outside, the property is approached via a gated front garden, screened by mature hedging which provides a good degree of privacy. The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, offering a generous and established space that is mainly laid to lawn with a large patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature planting, trees and well-stocked borders create a peaceful setting, while additional features such as a greenhouse, outbuildings and a shed with power and lighting enhance its practicality. To the rear, a gravelled parking area provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, along with an electric car charging point, and is accessed via a shared driveway.
