Spanning an impressive 2,890 square feet, this architecturally designed home offers vast and flexible living space downstairs and four double bedrooms with four luxurious bathrooms upstairs, providing ample space for both family living and entertaining guests.

On the ground floor, Leylands boasts expansive and flexible living areas; the sitting room is an inviting space, enhanced by bi-fold doors that open onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A separate dining room provides an elegant setting for more formal occasions, while a spacious family room and a large study ensure there is plenty of room for relaxation and productivity. The kitchen/breakfast room is a true highlight, featuring a bespoke design that includes a breakfast bar, double oven, induction hob, and ample storage.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive. The private electric gates open onto a large driveway that provides ample parking and leads to a double garage. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to offer the perfect balance of practicality and beauty.

Seller Insight
‘I designed and built the property myself and moved in two years ago,’ says the owner of this stylish, modern detached home. ‘I love how the house is set back from the road down a private drive with secure gates. As soon as I close them behind me, it feels like my own peaceful retreat, completely removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life.’

Leylands is a beautifully designed home, thoughtfully created for modern family living. ‘The stunning entrance hall, with its large feature window, floods the space with natural light, creating an inviting first impression. There’s a beautiful sunset view from both this window and the master bedroom window,’ explains the owner.

They add, ‘the generous kitchen is a dream for entertaining, while the lounge and kitchen seamlessly connect to the patio through stylish bifold doors. Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with an elegant en-suite and a walk-in wardrobe offering ample storage.’ This home combines style, comfort, and practicality in every detail. ‘I absolutely love the kitchen and main sitting room. Lighting the log burner on a winter evening makes the whole house feel so cosy.’

The property features a low-maintenance garden with a large patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining. ‘The seamless flow from indoors to outdoors makes hosting summer BBQs and gatherings effortless,’ says the owner. ‘The driveway accommodates up to five cars, with additional space in the double garage. Electric gates ensure complete security for the property.’

The peaceful village setting, just outside Cambridge, provides a countryside feel while still being close to all essential amenities. ‘A fantastic local shop, butcher, baker, and farm shop are just a two-minute walk away, along with bus stops for easy access to nearby towns. The village is charming, with parks, a school, and plenty of scenic walking routes. Larger schools are in Cambourne and Cambridge, and more local facilities are set to be built next year.’ The area offers excellent travel links with the A14, A428, and M11 nearby.

‘The neighbours at the front are lovely – two couples, no children. They’re the kind of people you'd invite over for dinner,’ notes the owner. ‘I will miss the house for many reasons, not least the open plan modern design, the principal bedroom suite with its large shower and walk-in wardrobe and the great sense of privacy.’
