2 bed end terrace house for sale

Saffron Road, Histon CB24

An updated two-bedroom end-of-terrace home with a generous garden and excellent garden studio, located in a highly sought-after village location.

The accommodation extends over two floors and has been thoughtfully improved to suit modern living, most notably with the creation of a bright, open-plan sitting/dining room. This is a superb, versatile space with a large sash window to the front allowing for plenty of natural light, complemented by attractive wood flooring and ample room for both comfortable seating and a dining area. The open layout works particularly well for everyday living as well as entertaining.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen, which is well-equipped with a good range of cabinetry and worktop space, along with an integrated oven, four-ring gas hob and space for freestanding appliances.

The shower room has been stylishly refitted and now comprises a large walk-in shower, back-to-wall WC, basin, heated towel rail and contemporary dark grey tiling. There is also a useful cupboard housing the boiler and providing space for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and is a spacious double room. The second bedroom, also a comfortable double, overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an integrated over-stairs cupboard.

The rear garden has been recently landscaped and is a particularly impressive feature of the property. Immediately behind the house is a raised patio area, ideal for outdoor dining, leading onto a generous lawn with a pathway running along the side. A mature tree provides a natural sense of privacy before reaching a further seating area in front of the garden studio. The studio itself is fully powered and double glazed, offering an excellent space for home working, hobbies or entertaining.
