Description

Offered at auction, this freehold Grade II Listed former mill house in Grantchester includes a seven-bedroom main residence and a separate one-bedroom annexe. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with a kitchen/dining room, utility room, study, two reception rooms, conservatory and library in the main house. The first floor has four bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, alongside a bathroom and shower room, with two further bedrooms on the second floor. The annexe provides a kitchen/dining room, garage, reception room and bathroom in addition to its bedroom. The property is vacant and requires modernisation. It sits alongside the River Cam and has approximately 1.28 acres of gardens. Grantchester’s village amenities and riverside routes are nearby, with Cambridge a short distance away. The Grade II listing and the scale of the house and grounds should be considered when assessing the scope and feasibility of any proposed works.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This Grade II listed former Mill House has an unusually generous canvas: seven bedrooms, a separate one-bedroom annexe and around 1.28 acres of gardens, with spacious reception rooms, exposed beams and fireplaces adding character. The interiors and kitchens and bathrooms are dated, and the grounds need attention, so there is scope for a medium-scale programme of updating and garden improvement while retaining the house’s established features.

The score is a cautious 51/100 (D), rather than a judgement that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed. The property is offered by auction with a guide price of £1.4m; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not remain at that level.

Key opportunities

  • Update the dated interiors, including the main-house and annexe kitchens and several bathrooms, to create a more coherent finish.
  • Make the most of the spacious reception rooms, exposed beams and fireplaces while refreshing decoration and flooring.
  • Clear and improve the overgrown gardens, retaining the mature trees and established features across the approximately 1.28-acre plot.

Key risks

  • The rendered exterior shows weathering and marks, and the tiled roof appears aged in places; the photos do not establish whether repairs are needed, so condition should be checked.
  • As a Grade II listed property, the scope and approach for alterations and updating should be checked against the relevant listing requirements.
