High Street, Melbourn, Royston, SG8

This Grade II listed semi-detached thatched cottage, believed to have roots dating back to the early 17th century, presents a rare opportunity for restoration in the scenic village of Melbourn. With its rich history and unique character, this property has been cherished by the same family since around 1850 and is now awaiting a new owner who is ready to undertake its rejuvenation. The residence features distinctive period elements such as exposed beams and original brickwork. Internally, it includes two reception rooms on the ground floor—a space once functioning as a tea room—and a versatile dining area leading to a rear kitchen extension with access to the bathroom. Upstairs, you'll discover two spacious double bedrooms, one equipped with ample storage solutions. The rear garden not only offers potential for landscaping but also possibilities for extensions (subject to planning permission), allowing you to craft a remarkable home tailored to modern living while retaining its historical charm. This property is particularly appealing to developers or visionaries looking for an engaging project within a well-connected community that balances rural allure with contemporary amenities.
