5 bed detached house for sale

Stearnes Yard, Haslingfield CB23

Set within a small courtyard-style development in the centre of Haslingfield, this detached family home offers over 1,550 sq ft of accommodation, alongside a detached double garage and a layout that has been arranged with everyday practicality in mind. Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property is likely to appeal to buyers seeking more space than is typically available in the city itself, while remaining within straightforward reach of Cambridge and the surrounding villages.

The accommodation is well balanced across two floors and has the proportions expected of a house designed around family life rather than open-plan trends. The ground floor provides distinct living spaces, creating flexibility for changing needs and allowing different parts of the house to be used independently. The sitting room is a generous principal space with direct access to the garden, while a separate dining room sits alongside the kitchen and would work equally well for everyday meals or more formal use. The kitchen itself is sensibly positioned at the heart of the house and offers scope for reconfiguration or enlargement, subject to requirements and any necessary consents.

An additional study on the ground floor provides a practical work-from-home space, increasingly important for many buyers, together with a cloakroom and useful storage. Upstairs there are five bedrooms arranged around a central landing, offering flexibility for families at different stages and with changing requirements over time. Bedroom one benefits from an en-suite shower room, while four of the five bedrooms include built-in storage, adding useful practicality and reducing the need for additional furniture. The principal bedrooms are comfortably proportioned, whilst the smaller rooms could equally serve as children's rooms, guest accommodation or further workspace if required. A family bathroom and separate WC provide further convenience for busier households.

Outside, the property sits within a private plot extending to approximately 0.14 acres. The garden has a mature feel, with a mixture of established trees, planting and shrubs creating both structure and privacy, whilst the majority is laid to lawn, providing usable outside space for family life, entertaining or simply enjoying a quieter setting. A detached double garage provides further practical benefit, together with additional off-street parking if required.

Haslingfield is a lovely, traditional and sought after village about 4 miles south-west of the city boundary. It is far enough out that it feels like a village, but close enough to offer easy access to Cambridge, the A10 or the M11. For cyclists there is a network of bridleways and permissive routes to Grantchester, Trumpington and Harston.

Within the village there is a pre-school and local primary school rated 'good' by Ofsted, there is also a post office and well-stocked general store, and independent cafeé. The village benefits from an Indian restaurant and enjoys weekly visits by several pop-up/street food vans. The thriving community has various sporting and social clubs, groups and societies. There is a village hall, tennis courts, excellent playground, recreation ground and separate skate park.
