Summary - MANOR FARM BARN, HIGH STREET, KNAPWELL CB23 4NR
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious Grade II farmhouse with nearly 10 acres, orchard and pond — scope for renovation and equestrian use.
Grade II listed former farmhouse with strong period character
This attractive Grade II listed former farmhouse sits in a peaceful village setting about eight miles from Cambridge, offering substantial living space and almost 9.7 acres of paddock, orchard and garden. The house retains strong period character—exposed timbers, sash windows, inglenook fireplaces—and provides generous reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room for family life and entertaining.
The site is a major asset: established gardens, a large natural pond, paved terrace, outbuildings, detached garage and paddocks ideal for equestrian or small-holding uses. The driveway provides parking and turning space, and the property is offered chain free, easing the purchase process for a buyer able to take on renovation work.
Important practical points: the house requires sympathetic updating and general renovation, and its Grade II listing will restrict certain changes and may add complexity and cost to works. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating in places, the EPC is rated E, broadband speeds are slow and there is a single main bathroom for five bedrooms (plus attic room), which may require investment to modernise for a larger family.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and land — families, equestrian purchasers or those wanting a countryside base within commuting distance of Cambridge. Expect to budget for renovation, listed-consent work and ongoing maintenance for an older building and substantial grounds.
