Striking, modern detached family home offering open countryside views
Description
A striking newly built family home set in a generous plot, perfectly positioned for privacy, natural light and far-reaching countryside views. This stunning property is set well back from the main road at the end of a gated private driveway.
Carefully designed to maximise both the outlook and the natural light, the house features eye catching floor-to-ceiling glazing to the rear, opening onto landscaped gardens and a secluded paved terrace. The ground floor centres around two magnificent open-plan living spaces, complemented by a further reception room that works equally well as a cosy snug, a spacious study, or a ground-floor bedroom with adjacent shower room. The exceptional kitchen/dining room forms the focal point of the home that is all set around the bespoke fully fitted kitchen that offers an array of built in appliances including Miele ovens, warming drawers, microwave and coffee machine, a central waterfall island with quartz worktops and a breakfast bar and the ever useful utility room that is just off the kitchen offering further storage and laundry facilities. All the front windows as well as the three sets of floor to ceiling patio doors benefit from electric and app controlled lutron blinds.
The first floor is arranged around a dramatic double-height landing, with the superb principal suite occupying the entire east side of the property. This luxurious retreat includes a dressing room, full bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, and dual-aspect windows that capture the morning sun. Three further generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom which comprises of a free standing bath, double walk in shower, low level WC and wash basin, complete the first floor accommodation.
Unusually generous for a newly built property, the plot extends to over 0.2 acres. Outside, the property is accessed via a gated driveway which leads to a private parking area and a detached garage with bike store. Having just been landscaped by the current owners, the rear garden is now picture perfect with three lawned tiers with a porcelain tile pathway leading to the rear of the garden and paved terrace that now enjoys open views across fields, a sizable pergola (7m x 4m) offers welcome shade from the summer sun and is electrically and remotely powered and lit. A wrap around terrace leads from both reception rooms creating an extension of the internal accommodation giving you an ideal entertaining space.
Location
Situated in the south Cambridgeshire village of Harston, 5.5 miles from the high tech university city of Cambridge. There are good local facilities within the village including a post office/general store, doctor's surgery (just under 300 yards approx), and a pharmacy. There is a Waitrose supermarket at nearby Trumpington together with comprehensive shopping, recreational, cultural and leisure facilities available in Cambridge including the Grand Arcade shopping mall and the 800 year old market square.
For the commuter there is ready access onto the M11 just outside the village (junction 11) leading south to Stansted Airport, the M25 and London and north to the A14 which in turn connects with the A1, M1 and M6. Train services are available from nearby Foxton station (2 miles distant) leading to London’s King's Cross and Cambridge. Direct services are available from Cambridge station to both King's Cross and Liverpool Street stations, taking from approximately 45 and 57 minutes respectively, and from Royston taking from 37 minutes into King's Cross.
There is a local school in the village and secondary schools in both Melbourn and Sawston. There are excellent independent schools for all age groups in Cambridge including St Faith's, St John’s and King's College Prep Schools, the Perse Co-Ed, The Leys, Stephen Perse and St Mary’s secondary
schools.
Cambridge is now at the heart of the biggest cluster of technology companies in the UK. The Science Parks on the northern and eastern sides of the city have been joined by world class research institutes such as the Wellcome Trust’s Genome campus, The Babraham Institute, and the Biomedical campus which is being established alongside Addenbrooke's, Cambridge’s University hospital. Microsoft Research is headquartered in Cambridge and in addition both AstraZeneca and Google have announced their relocation to the city.
