Description

This Grade II listed residence, offering over 3,600 sq ft of diverse living space, presents a unique opportunity for both renovation and investment. The property is steeped in architectural charm, featuring traditional elements seamlessly integrated with some modern upgrades. Located in the desirable village of Swaffham Bulbeck, just a short drive from both Cambridge and Newmarket, it offers significant potential for various lifestyles including family living or home-based work environments. The entrance hall welcomes you with its classic pamment tile flooring leading to a spacious courtyard. Multiple reception areas—including a characterful sitting room with an open fireplace—and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room facilitate an adaptable living arrangement. The first floor accommodates several generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite complete with a modern en suite. Notably, the substantial detached barn/outbuilding—partially converted—extends over 1,300 sq ft and represents excellent potential for customisation as guest accommodation or additional workspace. The space is characterized by vaulted ceilings and ample natural light, but further renovations will enable full realisation of its capabilities. Outdoor areas include a secure courtyard that could be transformed into an elegant garden or additional parking solutions while maintaining low maintenance requirements. With its blend of historical significance and contemporary flexibility, this property invites creative vision to unlock its full potential.
