Charming detached cottage in the heart of Willingham, offering flexible family accommodation across three storeys. The house combines period character—fireplace, exposed beams and a pitched roof—with a recent rear extension that provides a versatile fourth bedroom and modern ground-floor shower room. With around 109 sqm (1,173 sq ft) of living space, the layout works well for a family needing downstairs sleeping or an office/annexe-style space.
The garden is a genuine asset: a generous lawn, patio, timber shed and gated side access. Day-to-day life is convenient — the property sits within walking distance of village shops, pubs, bakeries and a primary school rated Good. Commuting to Cambridge is straightforward via the guided busway and improved A14/M11 links, making this attractive for those working in the city.
Practical points to note: the EPC is rated D and council tax is above average, so energy performance and running costs merit consideration. Room sizes are generally small-to-medium, reflecting the property’s traditional proportions rather than modern open-plan scale. The house is offered freehold and benefits from mains gas boiler with underfloor heating in parts.
This home will suit a family seeking village living with good transport links to Cambridge, or buyers looking for a characterful detached house with scope to personalise. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, garden and flexible ground-floor accommodation.
