Summary - CROWN HOUSE, BRIDGE END CB11 3TH
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Distinguished six-bedroom Grade II* home on c.1 acre — character, space and heritage.
Grade II* listed former coaching inn with notable historic provenance
Crown House is an imposing Grade II* listed former coaching inn offering more than 5,700 sqft of versatile, characterful accommodation. Its historic features — exposed timbers, oak panelling, inglenook hearths and leaded windows — create an atmospheric family home with strong entertaining spaces and a farmhouse kitchen with Aga. The principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en suite; five further bedrooms and flexible second-floor space suit a growing or multi-generational household.
The mature, private plot of around an acre includes sweeping lawns, established borders, a paved terrace, gated driveway and timber garage. Converted outbuildings (gym, office, studio/cart lodge) add practical space for work, leisure or ancillary uses, while generous parking meets everyday needs.
Important practical considerations: the listed status brings statutory restrictions and will complicate alterations and repairs to historic fabric. The house’s age means prospective buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance of roof, timber, plaster and fireplaces. Council tax is very expensive. The site lies close to a railway line and main road which may cause occasional transport noise for parts of the plot.
This is a rare opportunity for a family wanting a distinguished country home with strong heritage and flexible living space. It suits buyers who value period character and are prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities and the maintenance that comes with an historic property.
