Description

Gardener's Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed detached Georgian home that is rich in character but in need of significant refurbishment. This property, dating back to 1827, boasts original features such as low beamed ceilings and inglenook fireplaces, providing a unique canvas for those willing to undertake a modernisation project. Set within attractive gardens of approximately 0.18 acres in a sought-after village near St Mary's Church, the setting offers both tranquillity and community. The cottage includes two spacious reception rooms, a ground floor shower room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Additional highlights include a large driveway with detached garage and landscaping that lends itself well to outdoor entertaining. Located in the charming village of Burwell, just over eleven miles from Cambridge and close to Newmarket's horse racing hub, this property benefits from its proximity to essential amenities such as schools, healthcare services, shops, and excellent transport connections via the A14 dual carriageway. The cottage's potential for renovation allows buyers to personalize the space while preserving its historic allure. Given the need for updates throughout—including kitchen improvements and bathroom renovations—this property is ideal for investors or homeowners looking for a bespoke project that combines modern living with historical charm.
