A rare Grade II listed medieval thatched cottage dating from circa 1450, set on Cottenham High Street with views across the village green. The house combines substantial historic character — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace and carved friezes — with practical modern adaptations: a large fitted kitchen, hand-crafted oak-beam sunroom and versatile reception rooms. Off-street parking and a double garage sit behind a generous walled garden, providing privacy in a central village location.
The layout suits family life or buyers wanting flexible accommodation: three double bedrooms with original beams, a principal bedroom with window seat, and a ground-floor room currently used as a fourth bedroom (previously a study/playroom) with adjacent shower. The property is presented in good decorative order and offers comfortable proportions across approx. 2,014 sq ft of living space (plan-level indications vary).
Important practical notes: this is a Grade II listed building, so any alterations will be subject to listed-building consents and may incur specialist repair and maintenance requirements (thatched roof maintenance is a long-term consideration). Council Tax is Band F and there are likely higher running costs associated with a historic property. There is no flooding risk and local amenities, schools and good transport links to Cambridge and the A14 are nearby.
This home will suit buyers who value authentic period detail and are prepared to accept the responsibilities of owning a listed, historic house. It offers immediate liveability with scope to personalise sensitively, rather than a blank‑canvas project.
