Few new-build homes in south Cambridgeshire offer a setting like this one: A private, gated plot of over 0.2 acres in Harston, with the house set well back from the road and open countryside views stretching out beyond the garden. Every detail has been considered to maximise light and volume, with voluminous 2.7m ceilings to the ground floor and full-height glazing to the rear opening onto the landscaped, south-facing gardens and a private paved terrace.
The ground floor is built around two expansive open-plan living spaces, alongside a further reception room flexible enough to serve as a snug, a study, or a fifth bedroom with its own adjacent shower room. At the heart of the home sits the kitchen and dining room, fitted with a bespoke kitchen and a run of built-in Miele appliances including ovens, warming drawers, a microwave and a coffee machine, plus a central waterfall island in quartz with a breakfast bar. A utility room just off the kitchen adds further storage and laundry space.
The living room has two sets of sliding patio doors offering access to the rear terrace, as well as a room-sealed, external flue, real flame gas fire for cosy winter evenings. Every front-facing window and all three sets of floor-to-ceiling patio doors are fitted with electric, app-controlled lutron blinds. The property is further secured with a four-camera external CCTV system and a separate Ring doorbell camera.
Upstairs, a soaring double-height landing leads to the principal bedroom suite, which occupies the whole east side of the property and includes a walk-in wardrobe; a full ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower; and dual-aspect windows that catch the sun throughout the day. Three further double bedrooms share a family bathroom with a freestanding bath, a double walk-in shower, a low-level WC and a wash basin.
Outside, the plot's impressive 0.2 acres has been recently landscaped by the current owners across three lawned tiers, linked by a porcelain tile path to a paved terrace and pergola which frames the open views across the surrounding fields. The 7m x 4m pergola has an individually slatted roof that opens electronically, offering shade through the summer months, and with integrated remote-controlled lighting and a further four power sockets to the covered patio, it makes for a fantastic backdrop for evening entertaining.
A driveway with intercom and electric gates leads to parking for four vehicles, in addition to a detached garage with a bike store.
The driveway, gates and intercom are owned by and form part of the property, with neighbouring access rights and maintenance shared equally between the two households. The gate camera is owned by and forms part of this independent system; neighbours do not have access to the video feed.
Harston lies 5.5 miles south of Cambridge and has good everyday amenities, including a post office and general store, a doctor's surgery around 300 yards away, and a pharmacy. Trumpington's Waitrose is close by, with a Park & Ride site next door, and the full range of shopping, culture and leisure in Cambridge itself, including the Grand Arcade and the historic market square. A new supermarket is due to open nearby in early 2027, and the area is also well served by Fitzbillies bakery and café and Nadiya's café. The property is also well placed for Addenbrooke's and Papworth Hospitals and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, around 4.5 miles away. There's a local primary school in the village, secondary schools in Melbourn and Comberton Academy, and a strong choice of independent schools in Cambridge, including St Faith's, St John's and King's College Prep Schools, the Perse Co-Ed, The Leys, Stephen Perse and St Mary's.
The M11 is reachable just outside the village at Junction 11, giving access south to Stansted Airport, the M25 and London, and north to the A14, A1, M1 and M6. Foxton station, around 2 miles away, runs services to London King's Cross and Cambridge. For those commuting to London King's Cross from Cambridge station, the journey can take under 50 minutes, with Liverpool Street reachable from around 57 minutes, and Royston services reaching King's Cross in around 37 minutes.
