Summary - 10 HIGH STREET TOFT CAMBRIDGE CB23 2RL
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Expansive character house with secluded 1.6-acre gardens near Cambridge.
Grade II-listed detached house dating from 1640 with later additions
A rare Grade II-listed detached house set in approximately 1.6 acres in the village of Toft, with an expansive and historically layered footprint dating from 1640 and later additions. Period features are abundant — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, dormer and Yorkshire sash windows — and the property includes a self-contained attached cottage and detached double garage.
The garden is a major asset: formal lawns, large productive vegetable plots, an orchard of fruit trees, wild pond and mature woodland including a 500-year-old oak. The west-facing terrace and sunroom provide pleasant outdoor dining and views over flower beds and park-like grounds. Cambridge is around a 15-minute drive and rail services to London are available from nearby Royston.
Practical considerations are significant. The house is Grade II-listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or extension. Construction is original solid brick with no assumed insulation; heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators. Council tax is high (House band G) and the property sits in an area with above-average crime. These factors affect running costs and renovation scope.
This is well suited to buyers seeking a character-rich family home or a purchaser willing to invest in sensitive upgrading while preserving historic fabric. The detached cottage provides flexible accommodation for guests, staff or rental income, but any change will require listed-building consents and specialist contractors.
