Haywoods Lane, Royston

Tucked away on a quiet, no-through lane just moments from Royston town centre and railway station, this detached bungalow offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience and easy single-level living. Built in 2006 and immaculately maintained, the home sits on an established, secluded plot with sunny south and west facing gardens, making it an ideal choice for downsizers, professionals and commuters alike. The current owner sums it up well: “It’s the perfect size for me and very easy to maintain. I particularly like the accessibility to Cambridge and London.”
