Property Insight
A brand-new three-bedroom detached home arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 1,471 sq ft, occupying a position on a luxury private road opposite a recreation ground in the popular village of Bassingbourn. With more of a high-end self-build feel than the average new build, it has been finished to a high specification throughout, making it ideal for anyone wanting a low-maintenance, energy-efficient home ready to move straight into. A private top-floor principal suite, a 10-year building warranty and a considered layout across the three floors set it apart from the standard new-build offering.

The kerb appeal is excellent, with an attractive buff-brick frontage, an oak porch and a slate roof, set behind a front lawn with beds of shrubs and side access to the rear. The entrance hall sets the tone for the standard seen throughout - bright and wide, with luxury Amtico flooring, integrated storage, a ground-floor WC and doors through to the living space. The lounge is a well-proportioned room with a window to the front and double doors to the kitchen/diner, allowing the space to open up or stay more private as needed. Across the rear, the open-plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home, with windows and sliding doors to a garden terrace that make it a natural entertaining space.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern base and wall units, quartz worktops, a breakfast bar, inset and pendant lighting, integrated Bosch oven and hob, a Bosch fridge/freezer, integrated Hotpoint dishwasher and washer/dryer and an instant boiling-water tap. To the first floor are two large bedrooms with quality Cormar carpets and built-in wardrobes and storage, alongside a large family bathroom with designer Ideal Standard sanitaryware, comprising a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, hand wash basin and a light-up LED mirror. The entire second floor is given over to a private principal suite, a peaceful retreat with fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden is private and a generous size, walled and laid to a paved patio with gated side access, offering a genuine opportunity to move straight in and enjoy village life from day one.

Location – Bassingbourn
Bassingbourn is a pretty parish village in South Cambridgeshire, a couple of miles north of Royston and 14 miles from Cambridge. The village has a network of 24 public rights of way extending over 13 miles, plus a further mile of permissive paths, giving ample opportunity for circular walks and linking the parish with Whaddon, Melbourn, Litlington and Abington Pigotts. Facilities include a doctor's surgery, a dental surgery, a garage, sub-Post Office, coffee shop, chemist, hairdressers and general grocers, alongside two pubs: The Hoops, in a 17th-century building in the village, and The Belle at North End. Bassingbourn Village College, Community Primary School and Pre-school sit on the edge of the village, providing education from the age of two and a half to school leaving age. The Church of St Peter and St Paul is older than the Church of England itself. Royston's mainline station offers fast services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross, with Meldreth a further option, and the A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive.
