Outside

To the front, the property is approached from Bassingbourn High Street via a small tarmac drive, passing the village green and adjacent war memorial, and leading onto a gravelled driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The frontage is attractively enclosed by mature hedging. A side entrance porch, featuring a panelled door and fitted benches to either side, provides access into the side entrance hall and kitchen.

To the rear lies an extensive and mature garden, predominantly laid to lawn. A paved terrace, positioned directly off the rear of the property, provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. From here, a central paved pathway runs the length of the garden, bordered by well-stocked beds featuring a variety of mature shrubs and trees, including a striking centrally positioned birch. The garden is enclosed by a brick wall and benefits from a side access gate leading back to the driveway.

Towards the far end of the garden is an outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by paved areas and with steps leading into the shallow end. Beyond the pool is a pool house offering open storage and changing facilities, a pergola area with lighting, and a dedicated plant room. A separate building houses the pool filtration equipment and boiler, with an additional timber storage shed completing the outdoor amenities.
