Barton Road, Haslingfield CB23

This charming detached cottage, built in 1989, is situated in the sought-after village of Haslingfield. Blending character with modern convenience, the property is unlisted, allowing for flexibility in design and future modifications. Set on a generous 0.36-acre plot, the home is surrounded by mature greenery, offering a private and picturesque setting.

The property is approached via a large gravel driveway, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a double garage for additional storage and security. There are two entrances to the home, one of which serves as a practical boot room/utility space with a WC leading off from it.

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/diner, featuring a range of wall and base units with solid worktops. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, and doors open directly onto a patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor also offers three reception rooms, including a substantial 28’8" living room that spans the front of the property. This inviting space benefits from windows on all external walls and is enhanced by a large inglenook fireplace, shared with the snug. The snug itself provides a cosy retreat, perfect for reading by the log burner. Additionally, the Orangery, added in 2006, serves as a versatile and light-filled space, ideal for a variety of uses.

Upstairs, the first floor boasts four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and sits adjacent to the family bathroom, offering the potential for an en-suite addition. Bedroom two previously featured an en-suite and can be easily reinstated with a shower. The remaining bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family members, guests, or a home office.

Externally, the well-maintained gardens offer multiple areas for relaxation and recreation. There is space for entertaining, an allotment for growing produce, and a charming summerhouse overlooking a tranquil pond. The mature borders, trees, and shrubs further enhance the outdoor space, making it a delightful retreat throughout the seasons.

Over the years, the property has undergone numerous upgrades, including a re-ridged roof in January 2025, ensuring continued durability and charm.

Haslingfield is a lovely, traditional village about 4 miles south-west of the city boundary.

For cyclists there is a network of bridleways and permissive routes to Grantchester, Trumpington and Harston.

Within the village there is a pre-school and local primary school rated 'good' by Ofsted, there is also a post office and general store, and independent café. The thriving community has various sporting and social clubs, groups and societies. There is a village hall, excellent playground, recreation ground and separate skate park.
