A substantial and individual village home set on a 0.35 acre plot in the centre of Haslingfield, with a long garden to the rear and a notably generous internal footprint of about 2,343 sq ft including the basement.

It is a house with more depth and flexibility than its frontage first suggests, combining open, sociable living space with quieter rooms, useful storage and a setting that gives immediate connection to the character of the village.

The ground floor has been arranged around day-to-day living rather than formality.

A glazed entrance lobby creates a calm first impression, leading into a large reception space with timber flooring, high-level glazing and a gas stove.

The kitchen and dining area sits centrally within the plan, giving the house a natural gathering point, while a further sitting room to the rear provides a separate, quieter room with views towards the garden.

The proportions are generous throughout, and the layout allows for family life, entertaining and working from home without each use competing for the same space.

On the first floor there are three well-sized bedrooms and a large bathroom with both bath and separate shower.

The rear bedroom is particularly spacious and currently works well as a studio or study, with broad windows and a green outlook.

The basement, extending to about 438 sq ft, adds valuable ancillary space for storage, hobbies, fitness or workshop use, subject to the needs of the next owner.

The garden is a significant part of the appeal.

Extending behind the house, the plot measures about 1,396 sq m, or 0.35 acre, and includes paved seating areas close to the house before opening into a long, open lawn with mature planting and established boundaries.

There is parking in the rear and to the front, adding practical ease to a central village position.

Agent's Note: Since the current EPC was commissioned, the property has undergone substantial improvement works.

Over the past two years, all windows have been replaced with high-performance double or triple-glazed, argon-filled Kloeber units and bespoke timber sash windows.

Additional insulation has been installed to both the walls and roof, while the property's wiring and plumbing have been completely renewed, including the installation of a modern condensing boiler.

These improvements are expected to have significantly reduced the property's running costs compared with those reflected in the current EPC.

Haslingfield is a lovely, traditional village about 4 miles south-west of the city boundary.

It is far enough out that it feels like a village, but close enough to offer easy access to Cambridge, the A10 or the M11.

For cyclists there is a network of bridleways and permissive routes to Grantchester, Trumpington and Harston.

Within the village there is a pre-school and local primary school rated 'good' by Ofsted, there is also a post office and general store and an independent cafe.

The thriving community has various sporting and social clubs, groups and societies. There is a village hall, an excellent playground, a recreation ground and separate skate park.
