Period charm meets modern luxury on a third-acre plot with gated parking and home office.
Former monastery conversion with strong period character
Built around 1850 and converted from a former monastery, this three-bedroom cottage blends strong period character with high-spec modern finishes. The principal bedroom occupies the former chapel and measures an impressive 28ft, providing a dramatic and flexible living space. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is bright and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and solar Velux windows that frame views of the mature garden.
Set on nearly a third of an acre, the landscaped walled garden is a major feature: multiple paved seating areas, a luxury outdoor kitchen, hot tub space, water features and a bespoke timber office ideal for working from home. Vehicular access is secured by electric gates, there is off-street parking for 4–5 cars and an EV charger is installed.
Practical points to note: the driveway parking area is shared with the neighbouring property; council tax is above average; the house is multi-storey with stair access to bedrooms; mobile signal is average. Flood risk is low and the plot and finishings make the property appealing for families, commuters and buyers seeking a high-quality, characterful home close to Cambridge and London transport links.
This is a distinctive, well-maintained home for buyers who value privacy, generous garden space and a strong blend of period atmosphere with contemporary comfort. Independent verification of all details is recommended.
