Summary - Burrell Way, Balsham, CB21 CB21 4DY
4 bed 3 bath Cottage
Historic thatched home with large private gardens and versatile living spaces.
Grade II listed 18th-century thatched cottage, circa 200 sqm
Set on a large corner plot in a quiet village fringe, this Grade II listed thatched house offers generous, character-filled accommodation across approximately 200 sqm. Original features — exposed beams, brick fireplaces and solid wood floors — create a warm, historic atmosphere while multiple reception rooms and studies provide adaptable space for family life or home working.
The mature, private gardens are a standout: established planting, a lawn for children and a verandah for outdoor dining create a peaceful retreat. Practical extras include a double garage and long driveway, useful for storage and guest parking in this low-crime area.
Buyers should note the listed status and thatched roof mean ongoing maintenance and consent requirements; repair works will follow stricter rules and potentially higher costs. The interior shows some dated decor and will suit those wanting to refresh or sympathetically renovate rather than those seeking a fully modernised finish. Council tax is expensive and broadband speeds are average, factors to weigh for remote-working households.
Overall, this substantial period property will most appeal to families and buyers seeking a distinctive countryside residence with scope to enhance and personalise while preserving its historic character.
