Croyland House is a generously proportioned, detached family home that seamlessly blends contemporary design with generous indoor and outdoor living areas. The house was remodelled in 2007 by the esteemed architect Ivor Richards, who was celebrated for his modern designs in the city and the West Road Concert Hall.

The light-filled reception hall features floor-to-ceiling windows and an impressive staircase against a doubleheight glass wall. To the rear of the house is a bright and airy sitting room with wooden flooring, a wood-burning stove, and a wide window that offers views of the garden. Sliding doors lead to the open-plan kitchen/dining area, a large space with wooden flooring, contemporary white units, and dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light. With ample room for a large table, the dining area opens on to an outdoor dining space beneath a pergola through sliding glass doors. A comfortable study and adjoining drawing room provide additional versatile spaces for work or relaxation. The home includes a recently updated, expansive utility room with ample storage, direct
front and rear garden access, and the self-contained guest annexe. The annexe can be independently accessed via a private rear patio garden and contemporary doors.

The upper-level houses five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, an en suite shower room and dual-aspect views over the garden. Four additional bedrooms, two of which share a spacious roof terrace, offer ample accommodation. A family bathroom and a recently fitted contemporary shower room are on the landing.

Outside
A gravel drive leads to the front of the property with a double garage, ample parking, and an electric car charger. The front garden features mature hedges and trees, while the private rear garden comprises a large lawn, several tall trees, a landscaped gravel area, two paved patio spaces, and a 295 sq.ft. roof terrace overlooking the grounds.


Dry Drayton is a small village located just 5 miles from Cambridge. It offers a local pub, and nearby Madingley is home to a renowned gastropub. The Eddington area, just ten minutes away, provides a supermarket, restaurants, cafes, and the Cambridge University primary school.

The region is known for its excellent educational facilities, including a village primary school and the highly regarded Comberton and Impington Village Colleges. Cambridge's prestigious public schools are also within easy reach.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    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

    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
