Set back behind a gated driveway, this beautifully presented thatched cottage blends substantial family accommodation with a generous garden that backs onto open farmland. Four reception rooms and a large kitchen–breakfast room create flexible living and entertaining space, while a double garage with an annexe offers scope for home office, guest suite or rental income.
Period character is evident throughout — exposed beams, oak flooring and an open fire — combined with practical modern upgrades such as ground-floor underfloor heating. The village location is quiet and rural yet within six miles of St Neots for mainline trains to London and about 14 miles from Cambridge, appealing to commuters who want countryside living.
Buyers should note a few material points: the main heating is oil-fired with a boiler, the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002. The cottage lies in a conservation area, so any external alterations will require consent. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful home for families seeking a private rural setting and adaptable outbuildings. The annexe and ample parking add practical value, while the garden’s farmland outlook provides long-term enjoyment; purchasers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of thatched, period properties and consider energy improvements over time.
