The front door opens into the entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor. The living room sits to the front of the property with a bay-fronted window filling the room and the feature fireplace maintaining its original character. The open-plan galley kitchen has been fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base-mounted units, ample work surfaces and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, oven and gas hob with extractor over. the property has been extended to the rear and now boasts an impressive entertaining space with a Velux window and bi-fold doors overlooking the rear garden. A further reception room links round from the kitchen and hallway which would be ideal as a study or playroom.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a further well-sized single. The family bathroom has been fitted with a modern three-piece white suite with a separate shower and has been finished with attractive tiling.
To the rear of the property, there is a section of decking with inset lighting and a large long garden, with a variety of lawn and shrub areas. At the end of the garden are two more storage sheds.
Harston is the first village coming south out of Cambridge on the A10 and has an excellent range of day-to-day facilities, plus exceptionally easy road links both into the city and south towards Royston and London.
A new purpose-built, road traffic free cycle route has recently opened that leads over the M11, into Trumpington and on to the city. There is also a regular bus service, which is a most useful asset.
The village is the right side of town for the Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington and Great Chesterford and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (c. 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles.
Within the parish there is an Ofsted 'Good' rated primary school, a restaurant, doctors' surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with Post Office counter, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
