Built to combine all the advantages of contemporary construction with a practical family-focused layout, energy-efficient design, and quality finishes.
The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, with attractive planting and a neatly maintained frontage creating an excellent first impression.

Two further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for children, guests or home working, and these are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Sawston is one of the largest villages to the near south of the city, situated about 3 miles from the city boundary and is particularly popular with commuters due to its proximity to Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Biomedical Campus.
There are good cycle routes to the mainline railway station at Whittlesford (1.5 miles) and the science parks at Babraham (2 miles) and Abington (3.5 miles).
The village has a fantastic range of local shops including a small supermarket, various restaurants and takeaways, an excellent modern health centre, primary schools and the high achieving Sawston Village College, which has a sports centre, gym and swimming pool that are open to the public.
There is very little need to leave the village for day-to-day living.
