5 bed detached house for sale

Roes Close, Sawston CB22

Tucked within a small cul-de-sac of just six detached homes, this is a substantial and thoughtfully arranged five-bedroom family house extending to approximately 1,705 sq ft, excluding the garage. The setting is particularly safe and suited to family life, with very little passing traffic, and it is in close proximity to the village centre and local schooling, allowing daily routines to be managed largely on foot.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a layout that balances open family space and quieter rooms for work or retreat. The kitchen/dining room spans over 21 ft and provides a natural hub of the house, with ample space for a full dining table alongside high quality fitted cabinetry and work surfaces. It connects conveniently to the hall and adjacent living room, which offers a well-proportioned reception space centred around a wood burning fireplace. A separate study to the front provides a dedicated work-from-home space, snug, or play room, and there is a guest cloakroom for convenience.

Upstairs, five bedrooms offer genuine flexibility. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room and built-in storage. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and can accommodate a range of needs, from children’s rooms to guest space or additional workspace. The proportions throughout are notably generous, particularly Bedrooms 2 and 3, which comfortably take king size beds and furniture without compromise.

Outside, the property includes an integrated double garage with an electric vehicle charging point and driveway parking. The rear garden is west facing to enjoy the best of the afternoon/evening sunshine and provides an outdoor space ideal for entertaining, relaxation or for children to play.

For buyers seeking a well-built, traditionally arranged family home in a managed and neighbourly setting, close to everyday amenities and schooling, this is a house that warrants careful consideration.

Sawston is one of the largest villages to the near south of the city, situated about 3 miles from the city boundary and around 4 miles from the Addenbrooke's campus. It also gives excellent access to the M11 (J10 3 miles).

There are good cycle routes to the mainline railway station at Whittlesford (1.5 miles) and the science parks at Babraham (2 miles) and Abington (3.5 miles).

The village has a fantastic range of local shops including a small supermarket, various restaurants and takeaways, an excellent modern health centre, primary schools and the high achieving Sawston Village College, which has a sports centre, gym and swimming pool that are open to the public.

There is very little need to leave the village for day-to-day living.
