Home Close, Histon

Tucked away just around the corner from the heart of the village, this immaculately maintained detached bungalow offers well-designed and generously proportioned accommodation, all set within a delightful and private south-west facing plot of approximately 0.18 acres.

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway that gives access to the garage and provides off-street parking for several vehicles. A covered porch offers shelter from the elements as you go in, and there is a spacious entrance hall for welcoming guests, which opens to a generous dining hall with a walk-in storage cupboard housing the boiler and water tank.

The dual-aspect sitting room is bright and inviting, offering plenty of space for seating and featuring an attractive fireplace and glazed doors that open onto the principal garden, providing lovely views and easy indoor-outdoor living. Adjacent to the sitting room is a multi-purpose room with views over the garden. This room is currently used as a snug but would equally make a good third bedroom, a lovely formal dining room, or a study.

The kitchen has been beautifully re-fitted with a range of floor and wall-mounted cabinets, complemented by Quartz work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a slimline dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, double oven, and hob with extractor over. A door from the kitchen leads out to a side lobby which connects the front and rear gardens, ideal for easy access without the need to go through the house. This passage includes a personal door into the garage.

Both bedrooms to the front of the building are accessed directly from the entrance hall and are generous doubles with excellent fitted storage. The principal bedroom features a charming bay window and a modern en-suite shower room with large walk-in enclosure, vanity unit with inset basin, and concealed cistern WC. The family bathroom echoes this high standard with a similarly generous shower enclosure, stylish vanity unit, and concealed cistern WC.

The gardens are a real highlight of the property. The principal garden is south-west facing and enjoys a high degree of privacy, with mature hedging, a large lawn, and a patio area ideal for outdoor entertaining. A summerhouse is discreetly positioned in the corner, offering a lovely retreat or a storage option. A secondary, more private garden area can be found adjacent to the back door, along with a lean-to greenhouse, perfect for gardeners or those looking to enjoy a quiet spot in the sun.

This is a high-quality, thoughtfully designed home in a quiet, sought-after location just moments from village amenities. It offers comfortable living with practical features and excellent flow, both inside and out.
