Description

A detached bungalow in need of general updating located in a non-estate position within this picturesque village, a generous plot of 0.26 acres, providing scope to extend and redevelop (STP). No chain.

The property is approached over a good-sized driveway providing off-street parking and access to the tandem length double garage, generous mature frontage enclosed by hedging, with an array of plants shrubs, and trees, and access to the side of the home leading to the rear garden.

The accommodation briefly comprises, an entrance hall, a sitting room open to the dining room with sliding patio doors to the rear garden, a kitchen fitted with a range of units, ample work surfaces and spaces for appliances, sliding doors to the rear extension, the sunroom provides an additional seating area to enjoy the garden.

There are three bedrooms, two doubles, and a single, typical of the age of the home, with fitted wardrobes for bedrooms one and two. The family bathroom also benefits from the rear addition, a large space with a dressing area, and a four-piece suite.

Outside, the rear garden is generous and predominantly laid to lawn with mature, plants, shrubs, and trees, again, enclosed by hedging, a patio area close to the house.

Barrington is so lovely you might not believe it’s real. The village green is said to be the longest in England and dotted along it are all manner of pretty cottages, ancient buildings, and handsome houses. Passing through in the summer you’ll likely see walkers, picnickers, families playing, a game of cricket and the monthly classic car meet at the thatched Royal Oak pub. Bicyclists glide by on their way to conquer Chapel Hill and the local shop bustles with custom. Strap on your walking boots and head north behind the green and you can get up to the woods that wrap around the former chalk quarry (at the time of writing being developed into a nature area and housing) or you can go south for a riverside walk to Shepreth or Foxton. Glorious.

It's about 8 miles southwest of Cambridge and is close to the A10, giving easy access to the M11 just beyond Harston, or in the other direction Royston is about 7 miles and has major supermarkets and all the other things you’d expect of a market town. There are mainline railway stations available at Foxton and Shepreth which are 2 miles and 3 miles away respectively, Royston trains to Kings Cross are the quickest.

If you fancy the romantic English village life but don’t want to be too far from town, Barrington is tough to beat

The enthusiastic cycle commuter can join a cycleway by Foxton railway station and take it all the way to Addenbrooke’s campus (about 7 miles) and on into Cambridge city. Imagine how healthy and happy you’d get building that into your daily routine.

As well as the pub and shop the village has a primary school and a large village hall. For day trips Shepreth Wildlife Park is in the next-door village and the National Trust’s magnificent Wimpole Estate is 4 miles or so. You can spot birds at RSPB Fowlmere or play golf at Malton. All nearby.

About Cooke Curtis & Co, Cambridge

40 High Street, Trumpington, Cambridge, CB2 9LS
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation 0 logo

Cooke Curtis and Co. have been Cambridge’s thinkingest estate agents since 2015.

We’re warm, we’re bright, we’re experienced, we’re calm and considered under pressure, we’re masterful marketeers and we’re entirely devoted to giving our clients the very best we can.

And our best is demonstrably pretty exceptional. Witness our glowing (genuine, not paid for - watch out for that) online reviews and the industry awards and plaudits we can’t stop winning (including Best Single Office Estate Agency in the whole of Great Britain from The Best Estate Agent Guide 2022 – beat that).

The people of Cambridge who have embraced us and shared in our success have done so not because we're the cheapest or the most ruthless, but because we always work enormously hard to achieve the best results for all our clients and we do so without compromising our ethos of being fair, honest and kind. Don’t get us wrong, we’re here to sell and let as many properties as we can, that kind of drive is exactly what you need from an estate agent, but we manage to do it without forgetting to make our parents proud of our methods as well as our results.

If we sound like your kind of people, you’re probably our kind of person too. Let’s work together.
