As you enter the property through the delightful wooden doors with ornate glass, you are greeted with a generous entryway lined with custom Italian tiles in wood effect. A second set of doors leads to the inner hallway and grants access to all areas of the home. The hallway also includes large storage cupboards to each side.
To the left of the entrance, you will find the living room. The space is expansive and large front aspect windows flood the room with natural light. The quality and details in this home are present throughout, especially here. With the plush, cream carpets, and the bespoke recessed ceiling and lighting, the home spells luxury. There is ample room for seating, and it is a perfect room for gathering as a family and entertaining.

Next, you enter what is truly the heart of the home. The impressive kitchen and dining room which deems both incredibly spacious and stylish with panoramic views of the garden provided by a wall of bi-folding doors and large windows. The Kitchen itself is sleek and modern and fully equipped with a range of contemporary wall and base units with worktop space over, a breakfast bar, wood flooring, and a glass splashback. There is also an electric hob, and double integrated ovens. The room is also enhanced by the additional, bespoke seating space next to the Breakfast Bar which, given its proximity to the kitchen, offers a great space if entertaining and interacting with the chef!

Moving seamlessly from the kitchen in an open plan, is the Dining Room. The space is open and dynamic, allowing for a substantial dining table perfect for large family gatherings and dinner parties. Like the living room, the ceiling here is recessed with lighting, in nautilus spiral creating a unique and stylish appearance.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the Utility Room, which offers further matching base units with worktop space over and ample space for multiple appliances including a washing machine, dryer. There is also a spacious WC easily accessed from the kitchen and surrounding living areas.
The hallway extends towards the accommodation in the home, which is comprised of four double bedrooms, all benefitting from their own en-suites.
The primary bedroom includes an en-suite with shower and impressive views of the garden, with direct access via French doors. It is a substantial size, allowing for a large bed and lounging area, or additional storage.

The home is completed with a self-contained annex with private and discreet entry, yet direct access to the main house. This space includes an open kitchen and living room, shower room and double bedroom. This extends the accommodation of the home as it has a secure door connecting to the inside of the main house, yet allows for independence and privacy.

The garden and surrounding plot is truly what makes this home special and includes an abundance of valuable assets and potential! The conventional area of rear garden features a patio area and extends into a large laid to lawn area. It includes planning permission for a large swimming pool, and drawings can be provided on request.
To the right there is a raised area which has been committed to a small play area for children and additional space behind that has been recently cleared, offering plenty of extra space. The raised area is home to an exceptionally unique addition to the home. A labour of love during lock down, the Lock-Inn Tavern is a full-sized, purpose-built pub. The pub is detailed in every measure, with booth seating, a large bar top with stools, display area in behind, and ample counter space lined with refrigeration units. The building also includes a separate bathroom area and storage room. This is an incredibly inimitable and fun addition to the home that will be perfect for hosting and entertaining and being the place to be for the big match!

On the opposite side of the garden, there is a newly built summer house with its own separate and discreet porched area. This building is highly adaptable and could prove a lovely garden escape, home office, studio or play area.

The property, sitting on approximately 1.5 acres, offers more than just accommodation. The amount of land available offers excellent potential for development or expansion. Beyond the rear fence there is an undeveloped area which is lined with high trees, creating privacy from the adjacent property. Planning is required to use the gate, adjacent to the farm track for access, which can be done through the South Cambridgeshire District Council.
The far-right side of the property has temporary infrastructure as a builder’s yard and storage area with water and electricity mains connected. Again, this could prove as further potential to develop subject to planning consent.

Finally, to the left of the property, there is planning permission and laid foundations for a three-bedroom bungalow acting as a holiday let, separate to the main house. Again, offering excellent potential to develop further into an income property. Details can be found on south Cambridgeshire district council website under planning number s/4498/18/FL.

The property is situated back from the road, hidden behind a wooden gate and tucked behind large mature hedging. It can be accessed by a circular main drive which offers parking for multiple vehicles and is also direct access to the yard situated to the side of the property. Sitting on the far edge of the village of Landbeach, it is a rural and serene setting, yet with excellent access.

Landbeach is a small village lying about 3 miles north of Cambridge, with the cathedral city of Ely about 11 miles to the north. The nearby A10 provides convenient access to Cambridge and Ely, with the rail station in Waterbeach also providing fast access into London.
Local events are held at The Tithe Barn, which is a grade II listed, sixteenth century, thatched building. The barn is owned by a charitable trust which has modernised and re-thatched the building. Primary schooling is available at the neighbouring Waterbeach Primary School located about 1.5 miles away and rated 'Good' by Ofsted. Secondary schooling is provided at Cottenham Village College, 3 miles away.
Local facilities include an Anglican church, a Baptist church, a village hall, and an antique shop. On the edge of the village along the A10 there are several hotels and takeaway restaurants. Leyland Water is also close by, which is used by the Waterbeach Angling Club, a non-commercial fishing club run by local volunteers.
