Plum Cottage is a sympathetically renovated Grade II listed thatched cottage in Shepreth, blending historic character with contemporary fixtures. The current owners completed high-standard works including a re-thatched ridge (2017), new consumer unit and full electrical certification, modern kitchen and bathrooms, plus an EV charging point and updated boiler. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, with clear documentation for recent works.
The house provides flexible living: two reception rooms in the main cottage and a converted former garage that functions as an annexe, home office or fourth bedroom with its own modern shower room. The plot is generous for the village, with a large private rear garden, mature planting, timber outbuildings and a gravel driveway offering multiple off-street parking spaces.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will limit alterations and may add complexity and cost to future works. The thatch will need re-ridging in roughly 10–15 years (previous ridge work 2017) and the home is exempt from an EPC due to its listed status. Council Tax is band E (above average). Overall floor area is modest at about 1,050 sq ft, so space is cozier than larger modern family homes.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful village cottage with modern conveniences — ideal for commuters thanks to Shepreth station on the Cambridge–King's Cross line, families who value a large garden and flexible annexe space, or buyers looking for a well-presented period home in an affluent rural setting.
