Detached bungalow for sale in Duxford Road, Whittlesford, Cambridge CB22

A stunning, detached single-store residence extended and fully refurbished, with a separate studio / home office, set within a mature and generous plot located within this highly sought-after South Cambridgeshire village.

No. 113 occupies a fine non-estate position set back and screened from the road, located within this highly sought-after village, ideal for commuters with the mainline train station just a short walk away. The current owners have resided at the property for ten years and in that time have transformed the property with a programme of expansion, almost doubling its original footprint, and full refurbishment throughout plus a new roof in 2021. The result is a generously proportioned property offering deceptively spacious and flexible accommodation, all beautifully appointed and finished to exacting standards. There is ample parking, a large, private mature garden with an external home office / studio.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading to a welcoming reception hall with oak flooring and linen cupboard. There are three double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobe cupboards and including the master bedroom with ensuite shower room. The luxury family bathroom boasts both a freestanding bath tub and a walk-in shower, a contemporary table-mounted wash hand basin, low-level w.c., wood pannelling and porcelain flooring. The bay-windowed sitting room is an elegantly proportioned room with bespoke fitted book shelving, oak flooring and a feature woodburning stove.

The inner hallway is a large space and doubles as a playroom / study and leads to the kitchen / dining / family room with a contemporary woodburning stove. This is very much the heart of this beautiful home, a space bathed in natural light due to a number of skylights in the vaulted ceiling and two sets of bifold doors to the rear. The kitchen area is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and silestone worksurfaces with an inset butler sink and bevelled drainer with a matching large central island / breakfast bar. There is a gas Rangemaster stove with extractor over and an integrated fridge, dishwasher and refuse storage. Just off is a useful utility room with matching cabinetry, fitted work surface, single sink and space for the usual white goods plus a wall-mounted gas-fired, central heating boiler.

Outside, the property is set back from the road with off road parking for three to four vehicles. Gated access leads to the rear garden which is predominantly laid to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds and a generous paved terrace, raised planters and a summerhouse. A pathway leads to the rear of the garden where there is a studio / home office with power, light and internet connected with its own paved terrace and an adjacent covered seating area plus an external kitchen, which boasts two fitted barbeque grills with work surface and storage cupboards and a bespoke, domed pizza oven, all with a pergola over. The garden is fully enclosed by fencing and enjoys excellent levels of privacy and seclusion.
