This captivating Grade II Listed thatched cottage, nestled in a serene semi-rural area near the esteemed village of Shepreth, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on approximately one acre of lush gardens, this property combines historical charm with significant potential for modernization. With about 3,000 sq. ft. of versatile living space—including a detached barn measuring nearly 1,100 sq. ft.—the home's layout is well-suited for contemporary family living while retaining its period character.
The main residence features three spacious bedrooms, two equipped with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a separate family bathroom. The adaptable living areas allow for various uses—be it formal entertaining or casual gatherings—and can accommodate home office setups or multi-generational arrangements.
Externally, the property is approached by a picturesque U-shaped driveway and includes ample parking alongside a detached garage. The expansive gardens provide privacy and tranquility, making it ideal for gardening enthusiasts looking to cultivate their dream landscape.
One of the standout features is the substantial barn ready for conversion into additional accommodation or leisure space, pending planning approvals. While the thatched roof has been recently rethatched—ensuring one less concern for future owners—the interior would benefit from some updating and personal touches to fully realize its potential as a bespoke countryside home.
Located within easy reach of local amenities in both Shepreth and Melbourn and well-connected to Cambridge's transport links, this property strikes an impressive balance between rural charm and accessibility, offering an exceptional canvas to create your ideal home.
