5 Bedroom Detached House, Parr Close, Northstowe, CB24

The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged in a double-fronted layout, comprising a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a convenient cloakroom. To the left, a bright double aspect living room which offers a comfortable and versatile reception space, while to the right, a beautifully appointed kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of attractive modern style units, enhanced by wood effect worktops, a five-ring gas hob with extractor hood, an integrated double oven and dishwasher. The dining area comfortably accommodates a four-seater table and benefits from bi-folding doors opening perfectly to the rear garden. A separate utility room provides additional worktop space with room for appliances beneath and an external door leading to the garden, as well as a useful walk-in cupboard which is the full length of the utility room.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with bespoke fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, a second double bedroom, and a further single bedroom, currently used as an office/hobby room and enjoys wonderful views over the established open space to the front of the property. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, WC, wall-hung wash basin, heated towel rail, and tiled flooring.

The second floor features a spacious landing, ideal for use as a study area, with built-in storage, alongside two further double bedrooms and a shower room with Velux window. This level offers excellent flexibility and could easily function as a self-contained living space, with one bedroom adaptable as a lounge—ideal for a teenager or dependent relative.

The garden is a beautifully designed and private outdoor space, combining elegance with ease of maintenance. A well-kept lawn is bordered by mature planting, including exceptional roses in both climbing and shrub varieties, providing colour, fragrance and seasonal interest. Thoughtfully landscaped, the garden provides an ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining alike. Included within the secluded south/west-facing garden is a purpose-built garden studio, used by the vendors as a quiet place to work from home.

To the rear, a double-length driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a single garage, with power connected and overhead storage within the roof space.

LOCATION

Northstowe is one of the UK’s largest new towns, situated between Cambridge and St Ives and built directly alongside the Guided Busway, offering rapid, reliable connections to Cambridge city centre. The A14 provides excellent road access, and the Busway’s fully segregated cycle path is one of the safest and most convenient cycling routes in Cambridgeshire, linking Northstowe with Longstanton, Oakington, St Ives and Cambridge.

Designed with a modern, sustainable focus, Northstowe features extensive green corridors, lakes, wide pavements, play parks, sports pitches, community buildings and an expanding range of shops and cafés. Facilities already include primary schools, a secondary college, a community centre, sports pavilion, GP practice, retail outlets and dedicated cycling and walking infrastructure. As the town grows, additional amenities—including leisure facilities and a town centre—are being delivered in phased development.

Northstowe has multiple primary schools, each well regarded locally, and secondary education is provided by Northstowe Secondary College (Ofsted Good). Swavesey Village College (Ofsted Outstanding) is also accessible for some catchments. With safe cycling routes throughout the area and direct access to the Busway, school journeys are simple and secure.
