A rare Grade II listed, timber‑framed cottage set in approx. 2.5 acres of south‑facing grounds, this four‑bedroom detached home combines strong period character with exceptional outdoor space. Exposed beams, large reception rooms and a private 100‑yard pond make it an appealing country family home or a project for someone seeking a distinctive residence with garden and outbuilding potential. The detached barn and substantial outbuildings include a quiet home office and a powered summerhouse overlooking the pond.
The plot is a major asset: over 40 mature trees, parking for seven-plus vehicles and expansive lawns provide privacy and scope for outdoor entertaining. The outbuildings offer immediate workshop/storage use and flexible space, though conversion would be subject to planning and listed‑building constraints. Broadband speeds are generally slow across the property, but the dedicated home office reports good internet connectivity.
Practical considerations are important: the property carries Grade II listed status which will affect alterations and maintenance approaches. There is a single family bathroom and one WC, and the council tax band is expensive. The house is freehold, has LPG boiler heating, an EPC rating of E, and no flooding risk noted.
Transport links are strong for a rural setting: St Neots station is about ten minutes away with direct London services, while local amenities and leisure facilities are within easy reach. This is best suited to buyers seeking a character country home with substantial grounds and willing to work within the constraints of a listed building.
