2 bed semi-detached house for sale

High Street, Harston CB22

128 High Street is situated in the heart of Harston, just under 2 miles from the southern edge of the city, with excellent cycling and driving routes into Cambridge. It’s only a few minutes’ drive to M11 junction 11, and Addenbrooke’s Campus is less than 4 miles away. Many of the city’s private schools along Trumpington Road are also within a 4-mile radius. This location is perfect for those seeking more space than city homes typically offer, both indoors and outdoors, while still being close to Cambridge.

The property features a spacious driveway providing ample off-street parking, with double gates leading to the rear garden and a large garage measuring 23'11 x 15'8 (7.30m x 4.78m), equipped with power, lighting and an inspection pit.

Inside, the front door opens to an entrance hall with original tiling, stairs to the first floor and access to the living room and kitchen/diner. The interior is beautifully presented throughout, showcasing quality fittings, elegant coving, and a thoughtful blend of character and style. The bright living room, positioned at the front, boasts a large window, exposed wooden floors, and a classic period fireplace flanked by recently built-in alcove cupboards, adding character to the space. The light-filled modern kitchen/dining area is well-appointed with an array of wall and base units, generous wooden worktops and room for appliances.

At the rear of the property, the stylish family bathroom features a three-piece white suite, a shower over the bath, a heated towel rail, and attractive floor-to-ceiling tiles.

Upstairs, you’ll find two double bedrooms: The first overlooks the rear garden, while the second includes built-in wardrobes. A generous loft space offers scope to extend, in line with similar neighbouring properties, subject to required consent.

The impressive rear garden is well maintained and extends over 100 meters (325 feet). It is primarily laid to lawn, with mature borders filled with shrubs, plants, and trees, as well as a tall hedge for added privacy. A patio area at the rear provides a perfect spot for alfresco dining, while another patio towards the back offers additional entertaining space. The garden is completed by a vegetable patch and greenhouse at its far end and there is ample space for a home office or studio.

Harston is the first village coming south out of Cambridge on the A10 and has an excellent range of day-to-day facilities, plus exceptionally easy road links both into the city and south towards Royston and London.

A new purpose-built, road traffic-free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington, and on to the city. There is also a regular bus service, which is a most useful asset.

The village is the right side of town for the Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington, and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approximately 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles.

Within the parish, there is an Ofsted 'Good' rated primary school, a restaurant, doctor's surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
