This beautifully presented detached family home occupies one of the finest plots on the edge of a sought-after Redrow development, south of Cambridge City Centre. Enjoying an enviable position with a picturesque, leafy outlook over the recreational area, it offers excellent access to major employers, Addenbrooke’s Campus, the central and new South railway station (currently under construction), the surrounding countryside, and the River Cam.
Set back behind mature landscaped hedges for added privacy, the property features a driveway to the side, providing off-street parking for three cars, access to the rear garden, and a detached garage. The property has been thoughtfully updated and maintained by the owners including wooden floors throughout, with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where stairs lead to the first floor. To the front, the bright and inviting living room is bathed in natural light from a large window, creating a warm and comfortable family space.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining area spans the width of the property, offering a modern and sociable space perfect for entertaining. French doors provide direct access to the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The contemporary kitchen is well-appointed with an array of wall and base-mounted units, generous work surfaces—including a central island—and integrated appliances such as an electric oven, gas hob with an extractor, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. An inset sink is positioned beneath a window overlooking the garden.
A stunningly presented 4-bedroom detached family home offering over 128 sqm (1,370 sqft) of high-quality living space. Ideally positioned within a highly sought-after development, it boasts a picturesque, leafy setting with views over the recreational area.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, three of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom features a stylish en-suite, while the family bathroom is fitted with a sleek three-piece suite, including a bath with an overhead shower, a glass screen, and elegant floor-to-ceiling tiling.

Beyond the patio, a lawned area is bordered by tall hedges and mature shrubs, ensuring seclusion. The detached garage is equipped with power and lighting, with an up-and-over door for access. Currently, the space has been cleverly divided, incorporating a gym area at the front and smart storage at the rear.
Agents note: The property benefits from solar panels that give energy back to the grid generating an income.
Hauxton is a popular, historic South Cambridgeshire Village, located just four miles from the centre of Cambridge and within easy reach of the A10, M11 and the park and ride. The village has a range of amenities including a recreation ground with modern play equipment, sports pitches, an organic health shop, gym, ancient parish church, and a well-regarded primary school that goes on to feed either Melbourn or Sawston Village Colleges, with bus services to both. There is also a well stocked convenience store which is open seven days a week and a hair salon within the flats development opposite, both of which are open to the general public.
There are more comprehensive facilities, as well as a station providing services into London Liverpool Street, in the neighbouring village of Great Shelford.
There are good cycle routes to Cambridge, including a newly opened cycleway across to Trumpington Park and Ride and on to the Guided Busway cycle route into the city, plus a regular bus service to Addenbrooke's and into the city.
Work is due to commence in 2024 on the Trumpington Park and Ride extension. Once complete, a short walk of around 10 minutes will bring you to the P&R bus station which will be located on the Hauxton Side of the M11 roundabout. In the meantime, the local council has arranged a regular shuttle bus from Church Road to Trumpington P&R.
