Full Description: An exceptional, individual architect-designed home, enjoying a private, tucked away setting with a generous south facing garden backing onto open fields and off road parking. The property enjoys an efficient B rated EPC and provides high quality accommodation with it's versatile layout extending to approximately 1,813 sq ft (168 sqm). Set well back from the road behind a winding driveway, the house enjoys a secluded plot with established planting and mature shrubs giving considerable screening from neighbouring homes. The property was constructed to a very high standard and retains approximately three years of its warranty. <br /> <br />Inside, the accommodation has been thoughtfully planned around generous spaces rather than simply maximising the number of rooms. The entrance hall sits at the centre of the ground floor and is a lovely space for welcoming guests. This opens to a substantial, triple aspect sitting room featuring a brick fireplace with log burner and French doors out to the terrace. The kitchen/dining room is the heart of this home; beautifully fitted and well appointed it has a vaulted ceiling, exposed structural timbers and rooflights that flood the room with natural light. French doors provide a direct connection with the garden, while the central island gives the room a practical focus for cooking and informal use. A separate utility room keeps the functional side of the house away from the main living accommodation, and there is a cloakroom for convenience. <br /> <br />One of the strengths of the layout is the flexibility of the accommodation. The principal bedroom is positioned on the ground floor and has its own en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable suite without reliance on the stairs. Upstairs are two further generous double bedrooms, a bathroom and a broad landing/study area set beneath rooflights. This is useful space in its own right and provides a natural place to work from home or for hobbies, without sacrificing a bedroom. <br /> <br />The garden is equally lovely with mature trees, shrubs and established borders giving it depth and privacy, while areas of lawn sit alongside a paved terrace adjacent to the house, providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining. A greenhouse is incorporated within the garden, and the established planting gives the outside space a settled character that would take many years to replicate. To the front of the building, there is a generous space for parking and turning and a shed for garden storage. <br /> <br />The property was built under the direction of the current owner, with the intention of it being his forever home. It was therefore built to a very high specification without much thought of cost! The house is exceptionally light with lovely details such as a sitting area on the half landing which enjoys views over the fields. There is storage built into every bedroom and the kitchen and bathroom fitments are all very high quality. The owners have equally invested outside to provide a fabulous garden with a large patio and interesting planting. <br /> <br />Fulbourn is a thriving, established medium-sized village just 2.5 miles to the east of the city, which makes it very convenient for the Addenbrooke's campus, Capital Park and ARM or equally out to the A11 and M11. <br /> <br />It has a lovely historic centre and a thriving, traditional High Street with a greengrocer, butcher, local Co-op supermarket, antique shop, cafe, public house and take away restaurants. The village also has the benefit of a well-regarded primary school, GP surgery, library, picturesque nature reserve and superb local sporting facilities centred around the Fulbourn Institute Sports and Social Club which is also a popular events venue and restaurant. <br /> <br />For those seeking a traditional village atmosphere, with an excellent balance between convenient access and relative quiet, Fulbourn is very appealing.
