Mitchcroft Road, Longstanton, CB24

This attractive modern detached home benefits from being on a corner plot and is approached via a well-presented front garden bordered by hedges.

The front door opens into a spacious reception hall with granite flooring. Stairs lead to the first floor and there is access to the downstairs cloakroom. The generous-sized study/family room to the front of the home is fitted with office furniture. The living room is also at the front of the property, both having bay windows which flood the room with natural light. The living room has been fitted with a gas log effect burner and the fireplace is fitted with a timber mantle. The living space is enhanced by the addition of an orangery which is currently used as a dining room. The orangery offers underfloor heating and has the benefit of an atrium roof. French doors lead directly to the rear garden.

The impressive open-plan kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, ample granite work surfaces with integrated appliances, a breakfast bar, and a continuation of the granite flooring. Access is gained to the utility room which has further cupboards and space for a washing machine.

From the galleried landing you will access the four good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an ensuite and dressing room with fitted units. Bedroom two also benefits from an ensuite and dressing area. Bedroom three has dual aspect windows providing light and is another good size double bedroom. The landing also provides access to the airing cupboard and a large separate storage cupboard.

Outside the property there is an ample south facing garden which is mainly laid to lawn with two patio areas, raised beds and bushes. There is also a garden shed and access to the single garage which has electricity, lighting and fitted units.

Longstanton is an area of interest to many buyers from Cambridge because of the advantage of the guided busway which runs every 7 minutes into Cambridge and then onto Cambridge station and Addenbrooke's hospital. The village is also only 2.5 miles from the A14 and 5 miles from the M11. There is a good community spirit within the village which holds various events including a local market and summer fayre. You can also find regular events and classes at the primary school or Northstowe Secondary School and regular sports events are held at the recreation ground and The Pavilion. Facilities in Longstanton include two nurseries (one private, one preschool at the primary school), a primary school, a village institute, doctors and dentist surgery, veterinary surgery, public house, village store with post office, fish and chip shop and a co-operative store. There are several parks and a large green space, Northstowe Western Park, offering recreational activities within a minute’s walk. The village will benefit further from a wider choice of facilities on offer from the neighbouring purpose-built town of Northstowe that is currently in development.
