4 Bedroom Detached House

Built in 1932, this substantial four-bedroom home features 1,640 sq ft of accommodation, a notably deep rear garden and a useful detached studio/workshop. The house has the proportions and established setting that make homes of this period so enduring, while later alterations have created a layout that works well for contemporary family life. Solar panels add a practical further benefit.

The ground floor offers considerably more flexibility than a conventional two-reception-room layout. At the front, the sitting room is a comfortable, well-proportioned space with a wide bay window and fireplace. Behind it, the separate dining room opens directly to the garden, while the kitchen connects through to a further reception room at the rear. This creates an informal everyday space alongside the more traditional reception rooms, with good natural light and direct access outside. A separate utility room and ground-floor WC are particularly useful additions.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, giving the accommodation a useful balance for family life. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from a broad front bay window and built-in wardrobes, with two further comfortable double bedrooms, one also with built-in storage. The fourth bedroom is a good size in its own right with a built in wardrobe and offers flexibility as a child’s room, guest bedroom or dedicated home office. There are two bath/shower rooms, giving the first floor a level of practicality that should work well for a busy household.

The rear garden is a significant feature of the property. It extends well beyond the immediate terrace, with mature planting, established trees, lawn and a pond creating distinct areas rather than a single open plot. A substantial detached timber studio/workshop sits towards the far end and is insulated with double glazing, power and lighting, making it genuinely useful for home working, hobbies, exercise or storage throughout the seasons. There is also a further timber outbuilding closer to the house. To the front, the property is set back behind established planting with a paved driveway providing off-road parking.

Agent's Note: The property holds seven solar PV panels on the feed-in tariff until 2036. This generates approx £850 annually, with the agreement transferable to the new owners. The house was externally insulated in 2016, with a 25 year guarantee.

Trumpington is a thriving, fast-growing part of Cambridge that still retains a strong village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well placed for Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the Biomedical Campus, the M11 and the city centre, with excellent links by car, bus, guided busway, purpose-built cycle routes and on foot.

Cambridge South station, which opened in June 2026 beside the Biomedical Campus, is within close proximity and provides direct rail connections to London in just under an hour, as well as service to Stansted and Gatwick airports, materially improving the area's wider connectivity. Cambridge mainline station also remains readily accessible via the guided busway cycle route, avoiding city traffic. The property is around a 15 -minute walk from Trumpington Park & Ride.

Local amenities include restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, GP surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre, together with a Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury’s Local.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve links the village to Byron’s Pool and Grantchester, with further country parkland between Trumpington and Addenbrooke’s. Numerous footpaths and bridleways lead out towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
