Description
This outstanding individual residence is accessed via a gravel driveway, flanked by sleek metal railings and gates that open to an expansive parking area and detached double garage. The beautifully landscaped gardens create a striking first impression and set the tone for the high specification found throughout the home.
The heart of the property is an impressive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, showcasing a vaulted ceiling with exposed steel joists and roofline. A striking design feature, the mezzanine level with glass balustrade overlooks the main living space, enhancing the sense of light and volume. Bespoke storage and shelving line the stairway to the upper floor, blending practicality with stylish design.
Flooded with natural light, the main living space is perfect for entertaining, with bi-folding doors leading to a bright day room. From here, French doors open to the patio and gardens beyond. The kitchen is finished to the highest standard with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, generous granite work surfaces, an island with breakfast bar, and fully integrated appliances.
A separate utility room offers additional fitted storage, a sink, and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The current layout features three luxurious double bedrooms, each enjoying views of the surrounding gardens. The master suite boasts a sleek four-piece en-suite shower room and an adjoining dressing room, formerly the fourth bedroom. Bedroom two also benefits from a stylish en-suite, while bedroom three is served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
The exterior of the home is equally impressive, with multiple patio areas ideal for socialising and outdoor living. The garden features a collection of high-quality timber outbuildings, including a garden room, outdoor kitchen/BBQ area, pool room, spa room, and sauna, each constructed to an excellent standard with slate roofs, glazing, insulation, and full power and lighting. The large lawn is surrounded by mature planting and timber fencing, offering excellent privacy.
The detached double garage is equipped with an electric door, power, lighting, and a separate storage area.
Agents Note: A truly exceptional home completed to the highest standards, featuring full double glazing, underfloor heating throughout, and an energy-efficient air source heat pump.
Barrington is so lovely you might not believe it is 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 are 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.
