Offa Lea, Newton CB22

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Newton, this detached four-bedroom bungalow occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.19 acres and offers over 1,500 sq ft of well-planned single-storey accommodation. With a double garage, mature gardens, solar panels and the additional benefit of a separate parcel of land, the property presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking space, practicality and village living within easy reach of Cambridge.

The accommodation is arranged around a central hallway, creating a natural separation between the living and sleeping areas. The sitting room is a particularly generous space, extending to almost 17ft in length and enjoying views over the garden. The kitchen/dining room spans more than 22ft and provides ample space for both everyday living and entertaining. The house has a water softener with an additional drinking water tap. Four bedrooms offer flexibility for families, guests or those working from home, while a separate study provides valuable additional accommodation with its own external access. The property is served by both a family bathroom and a separate shower room, enhancing practicality for larger households and visiting guests alike.

Outside, the property is approached via a generous driveway leading to the double garage which has electric remote-controlled doors, providing extensive parking and storage. To the rear, a substantial patio extends from the house and offers an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature trees, shrubs and established flower beds, creating an attractive and private setting throughout the year. A greenhouse and garden shed provide useful storage and growing space, while the solar panels offer the potential to help offset household energy costs, whilst also heating the water and a new battery was installed in 2025.

In addition to the principal plot, a separate parcel of land measuring approximately 0.06 acres is included within the sale. Located on the corner of Offa Lea, this additional area contributes to the property's overall sense of space and ownership. Prospective purchasers should note that the land is not considered to offer development potential.

Newton is a lovely, smaller village about 3.5 miles south of Cambridge. The village is popular with those looking for a location that is close to the City and major road links (M11, J11,3 miles), but far enough out to be more peaceful and unspoilt by recent development. There are mainline railway stations at Whittlesford (4 miles, London Liverpool St c. 75 mins) and Royston (9 miles, London Kings Cross c. 50 minutes).

Within the village there is The Queen’s Head, a traditional, much loved pub and beer garden which has been owned by the same family since 1962. It is one of only a handful of pubs to have appeared in every edition of camra’s Good Beer Guide. There is also a Days farm shop, bakery and cafe which sells a wide range of high quality fresh produce and offers indoor and outdoor café areas. The village has a recreation ground, cricket ground with an active local club, a Sports and Social club and various local clubs and societies. Harston and Newton Primary School (ofsted 'Good') is in neighbouring Harston, about a mile away.
