Occupying an enviable position at the end of Whitegate Close, this attractive detached family home enjoys a wonderful rear aspect backing directly onto open fields, offering a high degree of privacy and countryside views.
The accommodation begins with an entrance hall providing access to the ground-floor cloakroom. To the front of the property is a spacious sitting room, featuring a bay window and an attractive gas fireplace.
Spanning the full width of the property is the impressive refitted kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary wall and base units, complemented by a ceramic one-and-a-half bowl sink, integrated dishwasher, built-in oven, electric hob, generous worktop space, a breakfast bar, inset ceiling spotlights and an external side door. The dining area comfortably accommodates a six-seater table and flows seamlessly into the adjoining garden room.
The garden room creates an excellent additional reception space, featuring a vaulted ceiling with a solid insulated roof and French doors opening onto the rear garden. The integral garage has been partially converted to create a practical utility room with additional worktop space, while retaining internal access to the remaining garage area for storage.
The first floor is arranged around a central landing with an airing cupboard and access to the boarded loft. The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect and benefits from built-in wardrobes together with an en suite shower room. To the rear are three further bedrooms, comprising two generous doubles and a spacious single, all enjoying attractive views across the adjoining fields. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom fitted with a white suite, including a bath with shower over.
OUTSIDE AND PARKING
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, enjoying views across a field. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is complemented by mature trees and established shrub borders, together with a patio seating area and timber playhouse, creating an attractive and private outdoor space.
To the front, a double-width block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage. Gated side access provides a convenient route through to the rear garden.
LOCATION
Swavesey is a highly sought-after village, ideally located close to the A14 and directly connected to Cambridge and St Ives via the Guided Busway. The Busway offers fast and reliable public transport, as well as one of the region’s best off-road cycle routes, providing safe and direct access to Cambridge Science Park, North Cambridge, and the city centre. Rail access is easily available nearby. Cambridge North, Cambridge Central, Waterbeach, and Huntingdon stations can all be reached conveniently by car or via the Guided Busway, which provides a direct link into Cambridge. From these stations, there are frequent services to London, Ely, Peterborough, and Stansted Airport, making Swavesey a practical choice for commuters.
The village benefits from a welcoming and active community, supported by an excellent range of local amenities. These include a primary school, village shop, post office services, coffee shop, pub and a community hall, public sports facilities are available at the village college. There are fishing lakes, scenic walking routes, and a nearby nature reserve known as Drayton Lakes RSPB reserve, which further enhances Swavesey’s appeal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and nature.
Swavesey Primary School is well regarded locally, while the village is particularly well known for Swavesey Village College — one of Cambridgeshire’s top-performing secondary schools, rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The safe and convenient cycle route along the Guided Busway makes it especially easy for students to travel independently and securely.
