A newly renovated Georgian country estate with annexe, pool and extensive outbuildings..
Large Georgian house c.1810 with high ceilings and period features retained
Hardwicke Farm is a striking Georgian country estate dating from c.1810, recently renovated to a high standard while retaining period details such as cornicing, ceiling roses and marble fireplaces. The main house extends to approximately 7,290 sq ft with an independent two‑bed annexe and substantial outbuildings adding a further 4,219 sq ft. Grounds total about 7.67 acres, with terraces, formal parterre, mature trees, extensive lawn and countryside views.
The estate is arranged for comfortable family living and entertaining: four reception rooms, multiple bedroom suites, a heated outdoor swimming pool (air source heat pump), hot tub, a large entertaining barn with kitchenette, and garages providing significant vehicle storage. The converted annexe (2012) offers flexible accommodation for guests or staff. A Grade II listed barn and further garage blocks add versatility for storage, hobbies or conversion subject to restrictions.
Buyers should note this is a listed property; listing status will restrict changes and will require listed‑building consent for many alterations. Broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Despite the recent renovation, the scale of the estate means ongoing maintenance and running costs will be substantial.
This is best suited to a family or buyer seeking a large, private rural home close to Cambridge and commuter links, or to someone wanting an estate with strong entertaining and equestrian/gardening potential. The property offers rare space and historic character, balanced by the responsibilities of listed ownership and rural utilities limitations.
