This Grade II listed two-bedroom detached cottage offers period character and surprisingly generous internal space (approx. 1,373 sq ft) right on Sawston High Street. Original features such as exposed beams and floorboards give the house immediate charm, while a modern-rustic kitchen and useful cellar add everyday practicality. Chain free sale and fast broadband make it convenient for moving or letting.
The rear courtyard garden is private but modest in size; parking is available via a shared driveway and some off-street space. The cellar provides good storage and scope for repurposing subject to the necessary consents. The property's location places local shops, pubs and transport links to Cambridge close at hand, with several well-rated schools nearby.
Important practical points: Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and can complicate works and consents. The property is EPC exempt (typical for listed buildings). Appliances are described as dated and some updating may be desirable. For an investor the vendor estimates potential rental income of around £1,400 pcm; for buyers seeking a character home this is a largely move-in-ready option that will reward sensitive, conservation-led improvements.
Overall this is a character-rich detached cottage suited to downsizers, professionals or buy-to-let purchasers who accept listed-building constraints and value central village living with period detail and usable space.
