Summary - High Street, Barkway, SG8 SG8 8EF
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious listed cottage with large garden, barn conversion potential and no onward chain.
Grade II listed detached cottage with extensive period features
An imposing Grade II listed detached cottage on Barkway High Street, offered chain-free and set over substantial floor space (approx. 2,321 sq ft). The house retains striking period features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace, vaulted ceilings and sash-like proportions — across four to five reception rooms, a generous kitchen, utility and three double bedrooms with en-suite and family bathroom. Mature, walled gardens, a garden room and off-street parking for multiple vehicles complete the main home.
The large barn and workshop at the rear present genuine scope for conversion into additional living accommodation or ancillary space (subject to planning and listed-building consent). The plot and room count suit buyers seeking flexible family living, home-working rooms or a project with value-add potential in a very desirable village setting.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status: any alterations, including works to the barn or outbuildings, will require listed-building and planning approvals and may complicate or increase costs of renovation. The property is sizeable and comes with maintenance responsibilities typical of older, historic homes; council tax is described as quite expensive.
Located in a prosperous, very low-crime village with excellent commuter links to Royston, Cambridge and London, this home will appeal to families or buyers seeking character, space and conversion potential in a picturesque rural community.
