3 bedroom detached house for sale

A beautifully extended 1930s detached family home, offering over 139 sqm (1,504 sqft) of versatile living space on a superb plot exceeding 1,324 sqm (0.32 acres), providing excellent potential for further development (subject to planning).

Set back from the road, the property is approached via a driveway leading to the side, secured by a five-bar gate. The front garden is adorned with mature trees, shrubs, and hedging, creating a private and serene setting.

A vestibule opens into a spacious reception hall with stairs to the first floor. The ground floor features a cloakroom with a modern two-piece suite and leads into the original sitting room currently used as a playroom at the front of the house, where a bay window fills the room with natural light. Original wooden floors flow seamlessly into the original dining room, which retains its period charm with open fireplaces in each room with original tiled surround and hearths.

The second reception room at the centre of the home also features period features with fitted cupboards, a panelled feature wall. Double doors open into an amazing rear extension, offering expansive open-plan living space. With a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and abundant natural light from large windows, doors, and roof windows, this space exudes warmth and character, reminiscent of an Alpine chalet. Herringbone engineered oak flooring adds a touch of modern elegance to the room.

The kitchen and utility area are equipped with a range of units, ample work surfaces, a Butler sink with mixer tap, and spaces for appliances. A door provides convenient access to the side of the property.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is brightened by a side window and leads to three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, typical of the period. The master bedroom benefits from a bay window, while the family bathroom has been recently refitted with a modern four-piece suite, perfectly suited to family living.

Outside, the property boasts a large, mature garden that offers endless possibilities. This enclosed space, with its vast grassed areas and established plants and trees, is ideal for families, gardeners, or those looking to entertain. Whether used as a relaxing retreat or for future development, such as an annexe or new dwelling (subject to planning), the garden offers incredible potential.

Girton is the only local village that is home to and shares a name with a Cambridge College. It’s at the west edge of the city, so super easy to access, but still looks and feels like a traditional village with its own identity.

You can hop on a bus or your bike and head straight into town, or enjoy the village’s many facilities of its own – including pubs and restaurants, a local shop, a primary school (that feeds into Impington VC, about 2.5 miles away), nursery, tennis club and golf club.

There is a Sainsbury’s supermarket in the new suburb of Eddington (about a mile away) plus a further primary school and a small Co-op by Girton College, which is open 7 days a week until late. Many of the city's private schools are on the west side of the city, so are easily accessible and Eddington also has an award-winning performance and community space and various other facilities. Choose Girton if you want to get into the city easily but don’t like the idea of urban or suburban living, particularly if you want to get in without using the car.
