Elegant Georgian Residence in a Sought-After Village Setting

Set in a well-served and highly desirable village with excellent transport links to both Cambridge and London, this impressive Georgian home offers flexible accommodation, perfectly suited as a single spacious residence or for intergenerational living.

The striking Queen Anne façade and Georgian doorway (mentioned in Pevsner’s Buildings of England) set the tone for the character and elegance of this house. Stepping into the spacious entrance hall, you are greeted by an elegant spindle staircase and an immediate sense of light, thanks to the period windows and high ceilings.

The principal reception room is expansive and features an open fireplace with a Jetmaster, and full-height windows and doors that open onto the garden, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The kitchen also enjoys access to the garden and flows into the formal dining room through double doors, ideal for both intimate dinners and entertaining larger groups. Adjacent to this is the conservatory, which offers light and sunshine year-round, as well as access to the garden.

Connected to the main living area is a secondary sitting room and an office/utility room. The back staircase leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom, providing an excellent self-contained space, perfect for an office, guests, older children, or multigenerational living.

The main staircase leads to four further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room and three elegant sash windows overlooking the mature rear garden.

Outside, the property is complemented by a beautifully established garden offering excellent privacy, mature planting, and an abundance of greenery. There is also a south-facing garden studio with its own kitchenette and shower room, which further adds flexibility to the house and could be ideal as a hobby room, home office, or potential guest accommodation.
