Haslingfield Manor is a rare, historically significant country house set within a moated island and extensive walled gardens. Occupying over 7,400 sq ft across three principal floors, the house combines Tudor-era timber framing and 17th-century brickwork with contemporary interiors by Ilse Crawford and gardens by Dan Pearson. Principal living spaces include multiple reception rooms, a library, kitchen/breakfast room with original wine cellar, and a principal suite with separate dressing rooms and a private yoga room.
The grounds are a major asset: formal rose and kitchen gardens, a grass tennis court, greenhouse, children’s play area, wood-fired hot tub and long sweeping lawns set within a huge plot. Ancillary buildings comprise a garage (now a gym), potting shed and practical stores — ideal for a family lifestyle or an owner seeking privacy and scale close to Cambridge.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is timber framed with assumed lack of modern insulation in original walls; double glazing dates from before 2002. Council tax is described as very expensive and tenure is unspecified. The local crime figure is above average for the area, and ongoing maintenance and running costs for a historic house of this scale will be significant.
This is a high-value, historically important home for buyers seeking an authentic period property with exceptional landscape design and generous, flexible accommodation. It will suit a household able and willing to manage the upkeep, preservation and running costs that accompany a landmark estate close to Cambridge.
