Set on Main Street in Witchford, this Grade II listed end-of-terrace offers authentic period charm with practical family living. The property has two double bedrooms, a separate dining room and lounge, and a kitchen/breakfast room opening to a private, south-facing garden — a rare sunny spot for village homes. A gravel driveway provides off-street parking, and the plot includes established fruit trees and a paved patio with pergola.
The interior celebrates original features: exposed beams, traditional fireplaces and timber bressummers. These character details create a warm, cosy atmosphere but also mean some rooms are compact and have lower ceilings, typical of older cottages. The property is being sold with no upward chain and has an approximately 1030 sq ft footprint, suitable for a small family or couple seeking village life close to Ely.
Important practical points are clear: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consents. The thatched roof and older building fabric will need specialist maintenance and likely higher running or insurance costs. The boiler is located in a fitted cupboard and the feature stove is untested; buyers should budget for mechanical and possible modernisation work.
This home suits buyers who value character and a private sunny garden over a turnkey, modern finish. It’s well-placed for local schools and village amenities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal making remote working achievable. Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a period home with scope to personalise while living in a prospering countryside community.
