A substantial detached family home occupying a generous corner position opposite the church. The property offers around 1,800 sq ft of accommodation with four bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, and a well-planned layout. Enjoying an energy-efficient C-rated EPC, the house has been carefully maintained over the years to provide a comfortable, established feel throughout, with bright rooms overlooking mature gardens and the opportunity for a new owner to adapt it over time, if desired. <br/> <br/>The accommodation is arranged around a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom/WC, and provides a practical balance between shared living space and quieter areas of the house, ideal for work or study. The sitting room is particularly generous, with large windows drawing in natural light and creating an attractive outlook across the garden. Separate dining and breakfast rooms provide flexibility for formal entertaining, family meals or everyday use, while the kitchen benefits from good levels of storage and workspace. The arrangement of the ground floor creates a home that works equally well for family life and for those wanting adaptable space for hobbies, guests or working from home. <br/> <br/>Upstairs, there are four bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned and served by a family bathroom. The overall layout provides flexibility as family needs change over time. <br/> <br/>Outside, the property occupies a notably generous plot, with mature planting and established gardens creating a sense of privacy and enclosure. The gardens have clearly been thoughtfully maintained and provide colour and interest throughout the seasons, alongside lawned areas and seating spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the year. The corner plot position also gives the property a more open feel than many similarly sized homes, whilst to the front a wide driveway provides ample off-road parking and gives access to the double garage. <br/> <br/>The location is likely to appeal to buyers seeking a quieter residential setting while still wanting straightforward access to Cambridge and the surrounding villages. The combination of a generous plot, established surroundings and flexible family accommodation creates a home that offers both immediate comfort and long-term potential. <br/> <br/>Harston is the first village coming south out of Cambridge on the A10 and has an excellent range of day-to-day facilities, plus exceptionally easy road links both into the city and south towards Royston and London. <br/> <br/>A new purpose-built, road traffic-free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington, and on to the city. There is also a regular bus service, which is a most useful asset. <br/> <br/>The village is the right side of town for the Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington, and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approximately 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles. <br/> <br/>Within the parish, there is an Ofsted 'Good' rated primary school, a restaurant, doctor's surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station, and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
