Doggett Road

This beautifully extended family home sits in a quiet position at the end of Doggett Road in Cherry Hinton, offering around 1,540 sq ft of well-balanced living space. The superb open-plan kitchen and dining room opens onto a large garden through bi-fold doors, creating the perfect setting for family life and entertaining.

You enter the property into a welcoming entrance hall with handy storage cupboards, which leads to a separate study, ideal for anyone working from home, and on to the living room. This generous space runs from the front of the house right through to the kitchen, giving the ground floor a lovely sense of flow. At its centre is a feature fireplace with an electric log-effect stove, creating a warm and inviting space to relax in the evenings. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is the sociable heart of the home, fitted with beautiful Shaker-style cabinetry and a full suite of integrated appliances, including a full-height fridge, under counter freezer, two separate ovens and dishwasher. A peninsula with an induction hob and extractor sits at its centre, perfect for chatting with family and friends while you cook. Doors open straight onto the garden patio, bringing the outside in during the warmer months. The adjoining family room also opens to the garden through bi-fold doors and works equally well as a playroom or an additional study space. The utility room has a sink, space for a washing machine and its own side access. A separate WC completes the ground floor.

On the first floor, the well-proportioned principal bedroom features an angled bay window overlooking the rear garden and its own modern en-suite shower room, with a walk-in shower, WC, and basin set into fitted cabinetry. The four further bedrooms offer flexible space for a growing family, guests or home working. They are served by a contemporary family bathroom, with a bath and overhead shower and a WC and basin set into cabinetry, and a separate shower room with WC, so busy mornings run smoothly.

The house is approached via a driveway and front garden, providing off-street parking. The large rear garden is a wonderful feature, offering plenty of space for children to play and for relaxing and entertaining through the warmer months. There is a handy shed, ideal for further garden storage, and a bike shelter.

Cherry Hinton combines a village character with easy access to the city, and it is a popular choice for families and professionals alike. The High Street offers a range of everyday shops, cafés and pubs. Cherry Hinton Hall, with its park and grounds, is a favourite for walks and family days out, and the chalk pits of the Lime Kiln Close and East Pit nature reserves are close by for more open countryside. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Addenbrooke’s Hospital are within easy reach, making the area especially convenient for anyone working there. For those commuting to London King’s Cross from Cambridge station, the journey can take under 50 minutes.

Agents notes: Please note that the garden studio is not included in the sale of the house unless agreed by separate negotiation. The rear boundary location is unknown because in the 1970s the residents of the properties on this street all removed their rear fences in order to occupy more land.
