Property description & features

  • High spec finish throughout
  • Desirable south Cambridgeshire village
  • Self contained annexe
  • Gated drive
  • Substantially remodelled and extended by the current owners
Kingthorn is a unique and handsome residence offering over 3,000 sq. ft of light-filled, luxurious accommodation arranged across two floors.
The charming storm porch opens to an expansive 28 ft. central reception hall with natural stone floors, a stairway, fitted cupboards and a cloakroom. The accommodation flows from here through a range of spacious and stylish living spaces. There is a 31 ft. multi-aspect vaulted living and dining area with exposed apex beams, a striking feature fireplace with stove and French doors and a picture window to the south-facing terrace. There is also a cosy sitting room with a fireplace between sash windows and an L-shaped family room views to the pretty garden. Further is a home gymnasium or a potential study, alongside which is a utility room and a tasteful kitchen with a range of shaker-style cabinetry, a large central island and a range of fitted contemporary appliances along with dual butler sinks and an inset AGA stove. Black Crittall doors open to the sunny courtyard.
The first floor houses a stylish family bathroom suite with a freestanding rolltop bathtub and a separate walk-in shower, along with four well-proportioned bedrooms. One of the bedrooms benefits from a modern en suite bathroom, whilst the striking principal suite enjoys the use of a walk-in wardrobe, a copper bathtub and a sleek en suite shower room.
Separate to the main house this property also has the added benefit of a one bedroom, light filled annexe with a log burner and a separate kitchen.

A sweeping tree-bordered gated gravelled driveway leads up to the property, offering ample parking along with the carport attached to the well-appointed detached annexe, which provides a bedroom, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. From the main living area of the annexe, double doors open to the south-westerly facing paved and brick-laid walled courtyard. A generous garden wraps around the home, enclosed via various mature trees and shrubs, with large expanses of lush level lawn, a pair of south-facing sun terraces and a wealth of stocked vibrant flowerbeds.

The property is located in a Conservation Area within the popular south Cambridge village of Barley, with its shop, school, public house, doctors and pharmacy. Under 5 miles distant is the historic market town of Royston, with an even more comprehensive array of green spaces and facilities, including a mainline station with rail services into Cambridge and London’s Kings Cross. There are shops, supermarkets, banks, eateries and public houses, along with a library, comprehensive recreational amenities, schools and doctor’s and dentist’s surgeries. Convenient road links are available via the M11 (Stansted Airport, London, M25 and A14 north) and to the city of Cambridge and the A1 (north and south) via the A10 and A505.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 14, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 14, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
