KEY FEATURES

Completed in 2021, this architect-designed home boasts stunning southfacing views of the countryside.

Built by the current owners, the property features an exceptional finish throughout, including high-specification, luxurious fixtures, and underfloor heating on the ground floor. The kitchen, dining, and family room epitomize modern open-plan living, with high ceilings and natural light flooding in through large doors. The luxury kitchen is equipped with a range of integrated appliances and glass work surfaces. For those seeking a more intimate or private setting, both the family room and study offer ideal spaces. A utility room and cloakroom add practicality.

A contemporary oak and glass staircase leads to the first floor, where a spacious landing opens to five bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, while bedroom two also has an en-suite, making it ideal for guests. The remaining three bedrooms share a family bathroom, and additional storage is provided by a walk-in cupboard/ wardrobe.

Outside, brick-pillared gates open onto a large driveway and a double garage. The south-facing rear garden, backing onto open countryside, has been thoughtfully landscaped.

SELLER INSIGHT

22 Bourn Road has been our home for the past three years. We bought the plot and built it ourselves, and it’s become a place we truly love. The rural setting offers the best of both worlds – peaceful and secluded, yet centrally located with easy access to everything.”

“This home has a definite “wow” factor, especially the kitchen. We’re particularly proud of its glass worktops with sparkling accents and gold metal cabinetry. The bathrooms are also a highlight, featuring stunning Italian tiles that always catch attention. The Scandinavian-style design carries through the entire home, from the Amtico flooring to the high-end fixtures. The driveway is finished with beautiful marble shingle, adding a touch of elegance.”

“Our bedroom is my favourite room in the house. It has a luxurious en-suite, a walk-in wardrobe, and breath-taking views of the surrounding fields that lead to a brook.”

“This home is perfect for entertaining, especially with its open-plan design. I love hosting afternoon tea with friends here, and many have said the house feels like something straight out of Grand Designs. The private setting brings in plenty of wildlife, and the architects did a fantastic job with the layout. We have a beautiful patio and decking area, ideal for winter coffee gatherings with friends. It’s quiet, and though we have neighbours on both sides, they are wonderful. There’s a sense of privacy but also a supportive community when needed.”

“The area is also well-served with local amenities. Potton boasts a great Italian restaurant, while The Frog in the village and a popular Indian spot in Bourn are local favourites. The village hosts quiz nights, farmers markets, and various community events, creating a lively atmosphere. Plus, there’s an excellent school nearby .”

“Although I’m not usually sentimental, I will miss the peace and quiet here. While I’ve enjoyed the process of designing and building many homes, this one holds a special place for its tranquillity – a perfect place to work and relax.”*
