Brookside Cottage is a distinguished Grade II listed country residence offering over 4,000 sq ft of well-presented accommodation in the sought-after village of Broughton. The house retains strong period character — exposed beams, bespoke oak joinery and several fireplaces — while benefitting from sympathetic modern finishes, a hand-crafted Shaker-style kitchen, and generous reception space suited to family life and entertaining. Offered chain-free with immediate vacant possession.
The property sits within approximately 0.4 acres of mature, private gardens with a sweeping driveway and off-street parking. Substantial detached barns on the plot present clear development potential for ancillary accommodation or alternative uses, subject to necessary planning permissions and Listed Building consent. The house’s hamlet location provides rural tranquillity, pleasant village amenities and easy access to Huntingdon transport links and good local schools.
Important practical points: Grade II listing brings regulatory constraints and may complicate alterations or barn conversions. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is above average — both factors to account for in insurance and running costs. Despite excellent presentation, the property’s age (17th century) means ongoing maintenance and specialist conservation work may be required.
This is a rare opportunity for a family seeking a substantial period home with private grounds and development scope in an established village community. Buyers who value architectural character, space and rural outlook should consider professional surveys and pre-application planning advice before committing to alterations.
