Description
The main house is a treasure trove of original features, from exposed solid timber beams and traditional ironwork to original room structures preserved across the centuries. One particularly remarkable area showcases historic wooden pegs and remnants of its former thatched roof—now protected beneath a later covering and offering a tangible connection to the home’s heritage. With exception of the garden room, the house also benefits triple UPVC double glazing throughout.
Two Substantial Outbuildings – Huge Potential (STPP)
The property also includes two large outbuildings, both offering significant development potential (subject to planning). The current owners previously held (now expired) planning consent to convert one into a separate dwelling—details available on request.
Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate this exceptional and versatile home with rare development potential in one of Cam’s most historic and desirable settings.
