An inspiring architect-designed residence offering striking contemporary style, beautifully landscaped gardens and far-reaching countryside views.<br/><br/>Built in 2006 and designed by the acclaimed RH Partnership Architects, this exceptional five-bedroom detached home combines imaginative design with a high specification throughout, providing around 2,400 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation.<br/><br/>A dramatic double-height entrance hall with full-height glazing and galleried landing sets the tone for the light-filled interiors. The superb kitchen/breakfast room features high-gloss cabinetry, Corian work surfaces and premium Smeg appliances, with a part-vaulted ceiling adding volume and a door opening to the perfect spot for an al-fresco morning coffee. There’s also a well-equipped utility room and generous storage including a useful low-head-height basement area.<br/><br/>The layout flows seamlessly between the dining area, sitting room, and a study fitted with bespoke furniture—perfect for home working. Tall glazing throughout maximises natural light and connects the living spaces to the beautifully landscaped gardens.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys dual-aspect countryside views, fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en suite wet room. Four further bedrooms (including the ideal in-law suite with its own access and being on its own floor between the ground and first floors) and a stylish family bathroom complete the accommodation.<br/><br/>Outside, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to a detached double garage with electric Hormann door. The mature gardens enjoy a sunny southerly aspect, thoughtfully landscaped with multiple terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining, raised beds, and a secluded vegetable garden—all bordered by established hedgerows offering privacy and charm.<br/><br/>South House is nestled within the peaceful and picturesque village of Croydon, surrounded by gently rolling Cambridgeshire countryside. This sought-after rural setting offers the perfect balance between tranquillity and convenience.<br/><br/>Despite its quiet charm, Croydon is exceptionally well connected. The nearby market town of Royston (approximately 14 minutes’ drive) provides a mainline station with fast trains to London St Pancras in as little as 39 minutes, as well as a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities.<br/><br/>The world-renowned university city of Cambridge is just 13 miles away (around a 23-minute drive), offering an abundance of cultural attractions, historic architecture, independent boutiques, fine dining, and top-rated schools—both state and independent.<br/><br/>Major road links, including the A1198, A505, A1 and M11, make travel across the region and beyond effortless, with Stansted Airport around 40 minutes away.<br/><br/>This location truly offers the best of all worlds—a peaceful village lifestyle surrounded by unspoilt countryside, with convenient access to Royston, Cambridge, and London.<br/><br/>
