Description

This stunning historical property, originating from the 15th century, has seen several modifications throughout its lifetime, with significant updates in the late 18th century that contribute to its unique character today. The central entrance hall serves as a focal point, leading to spacious reception rooms that create an inviting environment for both gatherings and day-to-day family living. Boasting eight bedrooms and three bathrooms across two main floors, this residence offers considerable accommodation potential. Surrounding the main house are expansive grounds that facilitate a luxurious country lifestyle, featuring a heated swimming pool, tennis court, and a charming Grade II listed Garden Room equipped with a large inglenook fireplace—perfect for outdoor entertaining. Additional structures include a garage, workshop, potting shed, store room, and a large barn that presents an opportunity for conversion into various functional spaces such as an office or gym. The landscaped parkland includes a picturesque lake and an impressive lime avenue that enhances the property’s grand setting over its sprawling 17.13 acres. Also noteworthy is Lot 2 which features outbuildings with independent access from the High Street and comes with previously granted planning permission for converting these structures into four distinct dwellings—ideal for an astute investor looking to develop further. An existing converted 3-bedroom cottage is currently let informally to staff. Lot 3 encompasses 9.41 acres of pasture currently leased for grazing, situated close to the village's edge with promising long-term development potential given its location within reach of local amenities and transport links to Cambridge and beyond. Accessed via a discreet gravel drive that complements its noble stature, this property sits just eight miles northeast of Cambridge in the highly sought-after village of Swaffham Prior—renowned for its historic charm.
