Video virtual walk through tour available on this home!

Kingsleave is a distinguished and generously proportioned home, positioned at the end of a private road within the exclusive gated development of Charles Court in Buckden. One of just five individual properties, this handsome residence sits within a secluded plot of over one third of an acre and combines traditional architecture with refined, contemporary interiors.

The approach is both discreet and impressive, with electric gates opening onto a sweeping driveway and an elegant double-fronted façade. Inside, a grand reception hall with high ceilings and warm wooden flooring creates a welcoming first impression. The galleried landing above enhances the sense of space and light, with a partially open design that adds architectural interest and visual connection between floors.

The ground floor offers two spacious reception rooms, each featuring herringbone parquet flooring, ornate lighting and large windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The formal dining room, with its rich wood panelled bifold doors, is perfect for entertaining. The bifold doors allow this space to open into the adjacent lounge, giving the flexibility to create a large open-plan area or two distinct rooms, depending on the occasion.

On the opposite side of the entrance hall, the kitchen has been tastefully refitted with white cabinetry, dark worktops, a tiled splashback and a range of high-end appliances, including a range cooker. The kitchen flows into a bright snug/informal dining area with views across the landscaped garden. A separate utility room and cloakroom with WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable and flexible accommodation. The two largest bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and stylish ensuites, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a high-specification family bathroom that looks stunning with its striking marble-effect tiling.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, offering a combination of manicured lawns, a generous stone terrace, a covered jacuzzi, and a timber summer house that is currently used as an outdoor bar. The garden backs directly onto the A1, offering excellent road connectivity, although background traffic noise is to be expected, but the property more than makes up for it with its size and plot size.

At the front, the gated driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to a double garage. There is additional space to the side of the property which may offer scope for further development, subject to planning.

Kingsleave offers a compelling combination of space, privacy and character in a secure and well-regarded setting on the edge of one of Cambridgeshire's most established villages.
