A Truly Charming Thatched Cottage in the Heart of Ellington.
Nestled in the quintessentially English village of Ellington and positioned a stones throw away from the idyllic church and highly rated Mermaid pub, The Olde Stores is a beautifully presented, detached cottage that perfectly blends timeless character with modern comfort. This exquisite home is truly picture-perfect, offering a unique opportunity to acquire a slice of village history without compromise.
Inside, the home exudes charm and warmth. The current owners have taken great care to retain and enhance the property’s original features, including stunning inglenook fireplaces and exposed timbers.
Both the living and dining room benefit from dual-aspect windows, which flood the rooms with natural light and boast ample space for family gatherings and dinner parties alike. The result is a character-rich home that’s ready for a family to move in and enjoy. The internal accommodation is both spacious and versatile. At the heart of the home is a well-appointed contemporary kitchen, complemented by a separate utility room and a convenient modern shower room. The ground floor also offers a cosy living room, a formal dining room, all full of charm and character.
Uniquely, two staircases lead to the first floor, where you will find four generously sized bedrooms, each offering a tranquil retreat with views over the surrounding village. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, finished with contemporary fittings.
The property enjoys an enchanting, walled rear garden that provides complete privacy. A gated entrance leads to a driveway offering the convenience of off-road parking.
The Olde Stores presents a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning period home in one of Cambridgeshire’s most sought-after locations, offering both character and comfort in equal measure.
