Detached house for sale in Narrow Lane, Histon, Cambridge CB24

Originally dating to the 1700’s, this stunning and wholly updated detached home with architect designed rear extensions is nestled within the heart of Histon Village.

With the original part of the property dating to the 1700’s, 3 Narrow Lane benefitted from an extensive renovation by the current owners in 2019, including new thatch and new boiler and now provides four-bedrooms as well as generous living accommodation over two levels, measuring approximately 154SQM/1667SQFT.

Upon entering the original part of the house, you are greeted by two similar sized reception rooms with an inglenook fireplace between. Both rooms have a wealth of character including original beams.

Between the kitchen and living room is a ground floor WC and access onto the gravelled driveway.
