If you're looking in that area try ashwell, beautiful village or bassingbourn which is nice too.

But such a small garden, in relation to the bungalow, (3 bedrooms, but with the extension 4 & loosing some garden) seems silly that the paddock can't even be made into an extension of the garden, even partly - a fence needs to be maintained between the two.

How would you like to use the paddock? For example, your kids can play in it, no problem. You could probably plant trees - fruit trees? You can't "landscape" it like a garden, but there's plenty you could do with it.

The reason it can't be absorbed into the garden is that it would then become part of a residential dwelling, leaving it open to future development e.g. by building a new house in the larger garden and then selling it off as a separate property.

Leaving it as paddock is the Planners way of stopping it becoming "yet another residential development in a rural/greenbelt area".
