Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this two-bedroom semi-detached home enjoys a quiet setting and a pleasant outlook. The property is approached via a path leading to the front door, with an open front garden featuring a mature Magnolia tree and low-maintenance slate chippings. A tarmac driveway to the side provides off-street parking and access to the single garage. The garage is fitted with an up-and-over door, power and lighting, and includes a rear access door to the garden.
The entrance hall leads to the sitting room, which benefits from a front-facing window allowing natural light to flood the space. A feature fireplace and a deep understairs cupboard add both charm and practicality. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, ample work surfaces, an integrated oven, hob, and extractor, along with space for additional appliances. A window and part-glazed door open to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to an airing cupboard and two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom, positioned to the front, includes a range of fitted wardrobes and cupboards, while bedroom two overlooks the rear garden. The family bathroom has been converted to a practical wet room with a shower area, low-level WC, and pedestal wash hand basin.
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a generous patio area, ideal for outdoor seating or entertaining. It also features a storage shed, outdoor tap, and side gate access. The garden is fully enclosed, offering a good degree of privacy.
Agents Note: The gas boiler, windows, doors, and soffits have been updated to UPVc in recent years.
Bar Hill was purpose-built as a new village in the 1960s. A thriving, well-connected and very well-served community and established itself as a fine place to live and work. All paths within the village lead to the centre, making it especially safe for children.
It is only around 4 miles northwest of the city boundary, easily accessible by car or by bus via the A14 or the new local access road (A1307). You can also reach the Cambridge or St Ives city centres by bike using the purpose-built cycle paths or the guided bus cycle path.
The village has a church, sports and recreation ground, multiple children's play areas, a range of shops including a Tesco Superstore, a fish and chip shop, a pub, coffee shops, an Indian takeaway and an 18-hole golf course, plus a host of small businesses for day-to-day needs. There is a primary school in the village which feeds into the highly regarded Swavesey Village College. There is also a village post office and library, as well as a doctors and dentists. With its extensive facilities, it is a good location for people who don’t want to rely on a car for day-to-day living. Fields surround the village, and there are pleasant walks through the local nature reserve to Dry Drayton to the south,to Lolworth to the west and to Oakington to the east.
