Full Description: A substantial and individual village home set on a 0.35 acre plot in the centre of Haslingfield, with a long garden to the rear and a notably generous internal footprint of about 2,343 sq ft including the basement. The property has undergone an extensive programme of improvement, with works completed to a high standard throughout, although there remain some finishing touches and areas for the next owner to complete to their own taste. <br /> <br />The ground floor has been arranged around practical day-to-day living, with a glazed entrance lobby opening into a generous reception space with timber flooring, high-level glazing and a gas stove. The kitchen and dining area sits centrally within the plan, creating a natural gathering point, while a further sitting room to the rear provides a separate reception space with views towards the garden. The proportions are generous throughout and the flexible arrangement lends itself well to family life, entertaining and working from home. <br /> <br />On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a large bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. The rear bedroom is particularly spacious and could equally work well as a studio or home office, with broad windows providing plenty of natural light and a pleasant green outlook. The basement, extending to about 438 sq ft, adds valuable ancillary space suitable for storage, hobbies, fitness or workshop use, depending on the requirements of the next owner. <br /> <br />The garden is a significant feature of the property. The overall plot measures approximately 1,396 sq m, or 0.35 acre, with paved seating areas immediately behind the house leading onto an extensive lawn with mature planting and established boundaries. There is parking to both the front and rear of the property, providing useful practicality within its central village setting. <br /> <br />While some cosmetic finishing and final detailing remains to be completed, considerable investment has already been made in the property, with the more substantial improvement works carried out to a high standard. This provides an opportunity for the next owner to complete the remaining elements to their own specification without taking on the scale of work associated with a full renovation. <br /> <br />Agent's Note: Since the current EPC was commissioned, the property has undergone substantial improvement works. Over the past two years, all windows have been replaced with high-performance double or triple-glazed, argon-filled Kloeber units and bespoke timber sash windows. Additional insulation has been installed to both the walls and roof, while the property's wiring and plumbing have been completely renewed, including the installation of a modern condensing boiler. These improvements are expected to have significantly reduced the property's running costs compared with those reflected in the current EPC. <br /> <br />Haslingfield is a lovely, traditional 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. <br /> <br />Within the village there is a pre-school and local primary school rated 'good' by Ofsted, there is also a post office and general store and an independent cafe. The thriving community has various sporting and social clubs, groups and societies. There is a village hall, an excellent playground, a recreation ground and separate skate park.
