2 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Harebell Road, Northstowe, CB24

Harebell Road is ideally situated just off Stirling Road, offering excellent access to Northstowe's schools, lakes, green spaces and local amenities. This beautifully presented home has been enhanced by the current owners with a number of thoughtful upgrades both internally and externally, offering a specification above that of many comparable properties on the development.

The ground floor features a spacious open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, creating a bright and versatile living space ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. Stairs rise to the first floor, with the benefit of a downstairs WC and useful understairs storage, which has been enhanced with additional shelving to maximise practicality. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a stylish range of grey gloss units and a peninsula breakfast bar, complemented by an upgraded herringbone-tiled splashback, an integrated oven with gas hob and extractor hood, and a stainless steel sink. The dining area comfortably accommodates a six-seater table and benefits from French doors opening onto the rear garden, allowing plenty of natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a Juliet balcony, a built-in storage cupboard and an airing cupboard fitted with additional shelving, providing valuable extra storage space. The second bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect outlook with windows to the side and rear, creating a bright and airy feel. A modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the accommodation. The property further benefits from gas central heating, excellent energy efficiency and an EPC rating of B.

Outside, the property has a brick-paved driveway for off-road parking, along with an adjoining visitor parking space and an EV charging point. Gated side access leads to the enclosed rear garden, thoughtfully redesigned to maximise both entertaining and usable outdoor space. A substantially extended patio provides an excellent area for outdoor dining, hosting and relaxing, while the timber shed has been repositioned to the corner of the garden, creating a more open and practical layout.

Further enhancements include a double outdoor power socket, hard-wired floodlighting serving both the rear garden and side access/bin storage area, and a water butt connected to the rainwater downpipe for sustainable garden maintenance. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, providing an attractive and low-maintenance outdoor space.

AGENTS NOTE: The property is being sold as part of a First Homes scheme so can only be purchased by first time buyers.

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.
