New Road, Harston CB22

An attractive 1930s semi-detached house, positioned down a quiet, private no-through road, thoughtfully adapted over the years to create a versatile and well-balanced home. The layout successfully combines open-plan family living with the flexibility of two reception rooms and a home office on the ground floor. The property features a spacious driveway providing ample parking, and a garage equipped with power, lighting and access to the garden.

On entering, there is a bright and airy hallway, connecting to stairs leading to the first floor, a downstairs toilet and a separate room perfect for a home office, snug or playroom. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and multi-functional family rooms which have been thoughtfully designed to maximise space whilst maintaining a sense of room separation. The delightful space enjoys dual-aspect windows, period fireplaces and exposed wooden floorboards.

The kitchen has been refitted and is well arranged with a good number of floor and wall-mounted units, double rangemaster oven, integrated dishwasher, all complemented by modern work surfaces and partially divided by a breakfast bar. The dining area is positioned to enjoy views across the garden, sitting in a light-filled extension featuring Velux windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden, while a further door provides internal access to the garage.

On the first floor, there are two generous double bedrooms, one of which features an attractive bay window to the front. The third bedroom is a well-proportioned single room, suitable as a nursery, child’s room or further home office. The bedrooms are served by a modern, refitted family bathroom, with a bath and large separate shower.

Outside, a large patio spans the rear of the property, providing an excellent space for outdoor seating and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs running along the borders, a small sun-trap patio at the back of the garden and a spacious shed. The sunny garden is not overlooked and enjoys a south-eastern outlook.

Harston is a popular village about 5 miles south of Cambridge on the A10 and an excellent range of day-to-day facilities. It has convenient road links to Cambridge, Royston and London, with the M11 being only a few minutes’ drive away, a regular bus service, and a new purpose-built, road traffic free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington and on to the city.

The village is well placed for Addenbrookes Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approx. 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles. Whittlesford Parkway for links to London Liverpool Street is also easily accessible.

Within the village, there is an Ofsted ‘Good’ rated primary school in walking distance, a restaurant, a doctors’ surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, a village hall, hairdresser, café, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children’s playground. 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 and tranquillity than city homes typically offer, whilst still maintaining close links to Cambridge.
