A Grade II listed thatched cottage in sought-after Histon, offering abundant period character across just over 700 sq.ft. The house is compact and charming, with exposed beams, a brick fireplace and a cosy sitting room centred on an inset gas stove.
Accommodation is efficiently arranged over two floors: a double ground-floor bedroom, kitchen/breakfast room with oak worktops and integrated appliances, a well-tiled bathroom, and a first-floor double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Both front and rear gardens are established and private, providing useful outdoor space and a large store shed.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking character close to Cambridge, with excellent local schools, good transport links and fast broadband. Buyers should note the listed status and thatched roof mean any alterations, repairs or insurance may be more expensive and subject to consent. Rooms are modest in size with low ceilings, so viewings are recommended to assess space and storage.
Practical positives include gas central heating, mains services and freehold tenure. The property is offered at a competitive price for the village, presenting immediate move-in potential while also offering scope for careful sympathetic updating within listed constraints.
