This three-bedroom single-storey residence presents a significant opportunity for renovation and development, positioned on a tranquil no-through lane at the edge of a desirable village. With full planning permission already secured, you can transform this property into an impressive five-bedroom home, ideally suited for modern living while maintaining sustainability.
The existing structure features flexible accommodation originally designed as a dairy, connected through an external walkway with a covered veranda. Currently, the home is divided into three distinct units, each with its own entrance. One unit offers a well-equipped kitchen with wood-effect flooring, space for essential appliances, and room for dining. This unit also includes a double bedroom and shower room. The second unit consists of a lounge area and an additional snug or guest bedroom, alongside another shower room. The third unit provides a further bedroom and cloakroom space, complete with utility storage.
The adjoining historic Grade II listed timber-framed barn comprises over 1,600 square feet of versatile space categorized as storage, garage, and workshop areas. It's characterized by striking timber framing and high ceilings that add to its charm. With the necessary renovations planned, the current accommodations could be swiftly adapted into your dream residence.
Planned upgrades involve converting the existing living spaces into a dedicated bedroom wing featuring five double bedrooms—one with an ensuite—and ample family bathrooms. The barn is set to become an expansive family hub that includes an entrance hall with W/C amenities and an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area designed for both relaxation and entertainment. Enhancements like vaulted ceilings will elevate the sense of airiness throughout while preserving the barn's historic elements.
Additionally, permissions are in place to construct a new garage on the gated driveway which leads to ample parking options alongside storage facilities within the workshop area.
Externally, the property is framed by a walled garden that features reconstructed elements from another historic barn now utilized for outdoor dining and recreational seating. The surrounding yard offers considerable space for vehicles as well as possibilities for further storage or development.
Situated in Bourn—a rural village approximately nine miles west of Cambridge—the property enjoys access to local amenities including shops, medical services, restaurants, and educational facilities such as an outstanding-rated primary school. For those commuting or seeking more extensive services, Cambridge city center is easily reachable with robust transport links available via mainline stations nearby.
This property represents not just a home but also an investment opportunity where potential returns can be maximized through thoughtful renovation consistent with contemporary standards while honoring its historical significance.
