A rare thatched Grade II listed house dating to circa 1591, set on a generous plot in Needingworth. The property combines substantial family accommodation with rich period character — exposed beams, original fireplaces and a commanding inglenook form focal points throughout. The dual-aspect sitting room and bay-windowed music room give flexible living space alongside a large kitchen/breakfast area that opens to the garden.
Outside, the southerly rear garden is a quiet, well-proportioned private space with decked seating and a pond. A gated gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking. Practical benefits include fast broadband, low local crime, and convenient access to schools, St Ives and major road links to Cambridge and the A14/A1.
Important practical considerations: listed status means alterations or modernisation will require listed-building consent and can be more costly and slow. Thatched roofing requires specialist maintenance (roof was re-ridged in 2018). EPC is exempt and council tax sits in an upper band. The house offers scope for sympathetic updating but buyers should budget for listed-property upkeep and any specialist repairs.
This home suits buyers seeking a distinctive family house with period charm, generous outdoor space and convenient commuter links — not a quick, low-cost refurbishment. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and plot in person.
