About
A charming Grade II Listed cottage of considerable age and character, understood to be among the oldest in the village, set within established gardens and complemented by a substantial cartlodge/workshop with attic space above.
The property offers a rare combination of period features, with practical living spaces, likely to appeal to buyers seeking an architecturally interesting home, with pretty cottage gardens, a cartlodge, and off road parking.
The house is arranged over two floors and retains a strong sense of its origins, with exposed timbers, brickwork, and uneven lines that reflect its history.
The principal reception spaces are well-proportioned and distinct, with a sitting room centred around an open fireplace and a separate dining room.
The kitchen is fitted with high quality bespoke cabinetry and is both functional and characterful, with an Aga and direct outlook to the garden.
A ground floor bedroom and bathroom provide flexibility, whether for guests, single-level living, or study use.
The principal bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation and is beautifully fitted with a modern suite. Upstairs are three further bedrooms and a WC.
The rooms vary in shape and ceiling height, as expected for a building of this age, but offer comfortable accommodation with exposed structural elements that give each space a clear identity.
The outbuilding is a particularly valuable addition, comprising a car barn and workshop with a substantial attic above.
This upper space offers clear potential for conversion, subject to the usual consents, and may suit those seeking a studio, workspace or ancillary accommodation separate from the main house.
The property benefits from pretty cottage gardens, planted with mature trees and shrubs.
The gardens are well-established and heavily planted with a variety of bulbs, providing a riot of colour in the spring. The setting feels private without being isolated.
The village will appeal to those prioritising a quieter pace of life while remaining within reach of Cambridge or London.
Day-to-day needs are typically met locally, with broader amenities, schooling, and commuter links accessible in the surrounding area.
Foxton is a historic village about 4 miles south-west of the city boundary along the A10.
It is attractive and compact, with about 500 houses, and is well served by an OFSTED 'Good' rated primary school, a well-stocked local shop / post office, a traditional pub, modern village hall and playing fields with tennis courts, a bowling green and allotments.
The village has a feeling of community, and is tranquil while being very well connected - the mainline railway station connects to Cambridge in 10 minutes and the fastest service to London Kings Cross takes just less than an hour..
