Summary - THE OLD GRANARY MILL ROAD GREAT WILBRAHAM CAMBRIDGE CB21 5JW
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Extensive plot with annexe potential close to Cambridge and village amenities.
Spacious five-bedroom detached period home with garden room
Set on about 0.42 acres in the sought-after village of Great Wilbraham, The Old Granary is a substantial five-bedroom detached home with generous living space and a large detached 780 sqft studio. The main house combines period character—exposed brick chimney, pitched roof and cottage proportions—with roomy modern living including a substantial kitchen/dining room and a light garden room. The plot includes formal lawns, mature planting, an extensive gravel drive and an adjoining fenced paddock with open countryside views.
The detached studio offers clear potential as a self-contained annexe, home office or workshop subject to necessary planning and building consents. Internally the house is well laid out for family life: multiple reception rooms, utility, study and three bathrooms across two floors. Practical features include off-street parking for several cars, private drainage, double glazing installed post-2002 and oil-fired central heating.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired with an on-site tank, the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. The studio’s change of use would require consent. Council tax is described as relatively high. These factors are balanced by the generous plot, low local crime, attractive rural setting and easy access to Cambridge and major routes.
This home will suit families seeking space and outdoor amenity in a village setting, or buyers wanting an income/annexe opportunity with scope for improvement. It rewards buyers prepared to carry out targeted upgrades — particularly insulation and potentially energy systems — to enhance comfort and running costs.
