Summary - 40 - 42 BRIDGE STREET WHADDON ROYSTON SG8 5SQ
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious rural home with large garden and annexe potential.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
A rare thatched Grade II listed cottage set on a substantial half-acre (approx.) wrap-around plot in Whaddon. The house offers unusually large overall size (about 2,727 sq ft) and flexible ground-floor space that could be used as an annexe, home office or living extension. Two first-floor bedrooms plus adaptable ground-floor accommodation give genuine 2/3 bedroom versatility for families or buyers seeking extra space.
The setting is rural and peaceful with off-street parking, mature gardens and fast broadband — useful for commuting or home working. Road links give straightforward access to Royston (mainline services to London) and Cambridge is within reasonable driving distance. The property is sold chain-free which can help a quicker move.
There are important constraints to note: the house is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate development or conversion plans. The EPC rating is F and the home is heated from an oil-fired boiler, so energy costs and improvement works are likely. The building’s construction includes timber framing with assumed lack of insulation, so retrofit work may be needed.
Potential for development of the plot is mentioned but would be entirely subject to planning permission; listed status and local planning policies may limit scope. There is a medium flood risk for the area. Overall this property suits buyers looking for character, substantial outside space and conversion potential, and who are prepared to manage listed-building requirements and energy upgrades.
