Summary - Manor Farm, Main Street, Caldecote, CAMBRIDGE CB23 7NU
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Historic six‑bed family house on c.3.4 acres with extensive outbuildings.
Grade II listed 16th‑century farmhouse with period features
Manor Farm is a substantial Grade II listed 16th‑century former farmhouse thoughtfully updated to provide a flexible family home of about 3,823 sq ft. The house retains strong period character — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and sash windows — combined with high‑quality refitted kitchen and bathrooms, modern heating via an air‑source heat pump, and multiple reception rooms that suit family life and entertaining.
Set in about 3.4 acres of landscaped gardens and a fenced paddock, the plot includes a detached garage/workshop barn, cart lodge, pool house with plantroom and a summer house. The driveway behind five‑bar gates gives private parking; there is scope to use the outbuildings as workshop, home gym or ancillary accommodation subject to listed‑building constraints.
Location is village‑quiet yet convenient for commuters: roughly six miles west of Cambridge with good road and rail links and strong local schooling. The property will particularly suit buyers seeking an atmospheric period home with generous indoor and outdoor space for family, hobbies and small‑scale equestrian or amenity use.
Important drawbacks: Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance and consent requirements. Council tax is very expensive and the local recorded crime level is above average. A further 34.56 acres of adjoining land is available only by separate negotiation and is currently farm‑leased.
