Description

This smart, light and bright two-bedroom detached new build sits just off Histon Road, offering a stylish contemporary home finished to a high standard throughout. With an impressive EPC rating of A, the property has been designed for excellent energy efficiency and lower running costs. 

As you approach, a small walled front garden frames the home, with a paved path leading to the front door. The hallway opens into the main reception room, where an open plan, dual aspect kitchen, dining and living area forms the sociable heart of the home. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher, and full-height fridge and freezer. The contemporary grey units are complemented by wood worktops and a breakfast bar, creating a practical yet stylish space for everyday living and entertaining.

The dual aspect living room is filled with natural light, with French doors opening onto a patio, complete with external lighting, and the enclosed rear garden beyond, creating a lovely space for relaxing or entertaining. The property also benefits from roof-mounted solar panels, helping to improve energy efficiency.

A useful storage cupboard off the living room provides space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. Wood effect flooring runs throughout the ground floor, complemented by carpet on the stairs and in both bedrooms. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, with a sloped ceiling and skylight creating a bright, airy feel. The second bedroom is also dual aspect, making it equally light and welcoming. The modern and contemporary bathroom is fitted with a WC, wash hand basin with vanity unit, panelled bath with shower over.

There are a range of local shops and amenities within a short distance including supermarkets, cafes, Akeman Community Centre and Histon Road Recreation Ground. Further away, but still within walking distance is Cambridge's historical city centre; the River Cam; and popular open spaces including Jesus Green and Midsummer Common. The property is conveniently situated for bus routes into and out of Cambridge; and major employment hubs including Cambridge Science Park, Eddington, West Cambridge site and the city centre.

The catchment area schools are St Luke's Primary School, and for secondary, the highly sought after Chesterton Community College, which was last rated outstanding by Ofsted.
