About this home

A substantial and beautifully presented detached family home which has been extensively reinvented and finished to an exceptionally high standard. Offering highly versatile accommodation with four bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and a converted garage providing an excellent self-contained studio arrangement, the property is ideally suited to modern family living. The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/family room, providing a superb open-plan space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen incorporates a central island and flows naturally into the family area, with doors opening onto the rear garden. A separate dining room provides further entertaining space, while the comfortable living room offers a more traditional reception room to the front. The ground floor is further enhanced by a utility room and cloakroom, while the former garage has been thoughtfully converted to create an extremely versatile studio. This incorporates its own kitchen and shower room, making it particularly well suited to guests, older children, working from home or potential multi-generational living. On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms together with a stylish family bathroom. The flexible nature of the accommodation, combined with the additional studio, allows the house to comfortably function as a four or five-bedroom home depending on individual requirements. Outside, the property enjoys a large private rear garden, providing an excellent setting for outdoor dining with a covered decking area. To the front, a generous driveway provides off-road parking for three or more vehicles. This is an impressive and highly adaptable family home, combining generous accommodation, an exceptional standard of presentation and a particularly useful converted garage within one of Girton's established residential areas. Girton is a highly regarded village on the north-western edge of Cambridge, combining a strong village community with excellent access into the city. Local amenities include a primary school, village shop, public house, recreation ground, golf club and various community facilities. The village is particularly convenient for Cambridge's major employment areas, including the West Cambridge site, Cambridge Science Park and the wider university and technology sectors. Cambridge city centre is readily accessible by bicycle, bus or car. For commuters, Girton is well positioned for the A14 and M11, providing connections towards the wider regional road network, while Cambridge's railway stations offer regular services to London and other destinations.
