About
Tucked away within a secluded shared drive in the heart of the highly sought-after Cambridgeshire village of Barton, this enchanting Grade II listed semi-detached timber-framed thatched cottage dates back to the 1800s and sits proudly within a designated conservation area.
Brimming with charm and period character, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a quintessential English cottage in a picturesque setting.
Internally, the home showcases a wealth of original features, including horizontal sash windows, beautiful Suffolk floorboards, exposed timber beams, and a characterful fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove—creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The ground floor opens into a cosy yet spacious living room, complete with traditional latch doors, ample space for dining, and a useful understairs cupboard.
A well-appointed kitchen enjoys delightful views over the garden and is fitted with a range of oak base and eye-level units, a ceramic sink, and a fan oven with a four-ring hob.
White goods—including a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer—are included within the sale.
A charming bathroom completes the ground floor, featuring a white suite with a bijou half-bath and additional storage.
Upstairs, the property offers two inter-connecting bedrooms—a generous double and a single—both full of character, with the principal bedroom also providing access to a useful loft space.
Externally, the cottage benefits from a mature and thoughtfully maintained garden, complete with well-stocked flower borders, a vegetable patch, and planters—perfect for keen gardeners.
A pleasant seating area to the front provides an ideal spot to relax, while the driveway, currently utilised for shed storage, offers additional practicality.
Ideally located, Barton provides excellent road access to Cambridge City Centre and the Addenbrooke’s Bio-Medical Campus, as well as convenient links to the M11, making it an attractive option for commuters seeking a tranquil village lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.
This delightful period home perfectly combines historic charm with everyday comfort—an idyllic countryside retreat within easy reach of the city.
