The White Acre, Sawston, CB22 3GA

A thoughtfully arranged three-bedroom home, built in 2023 and set within a modern village development in Sawston.

Its appeal lies in the combination of efficient contemporary construction, a clear and practical layout, and a rear garden that has been carefully landscaped by the current owner to give the house a more established feel than many newer homes.

The ground floor is arranged around a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, extending across the rear of the house and opening directly onto the garden through wide glazed doors.

It is a sociable, usable space rather than simply an impressive one, with room to cook, eat and relax without the areas feeling compromised.

The kitchen has a broad run of cabinetry and quartz countertop, a peninsula breakfast bar and good working surfaces, while the herringbone oak flooring helps give continuity through the room.

At the front of the house, a separate study provides valuable flexibility for home working, hobbies or occasional guest use.

There is also a utility room with WC, keeping laundry and practical storage away from the main living space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom.

The principal bedroom has fitted storage and rooflights, while the two additional bedrooms benefit from garden views. The rear garden is a particular strength.

The seller has landscaped it with paved seating, planted borders, lawn, raised areas and a garden shed, creating an attractive space that is immediately usable as well as manageable.

The full-width doors from the living area make the garden feel connected to the house, especially in warmer months. To the front, there are two parking spaces.

The property also benefits from an air source heat pump.

Sawston is one of the largest villages to the near south of the city, situated about 3 miles from the city boundary and around 4 miles from the Addenbrookes Hospital campus.

It also gives excellent access to the M11 (J10 3 miles) with swift access to Stansted Airport which is around 21 miles or 37 minutes away.

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.
