This beautiful five-bedroom Grade II-Listed farmhouse is located in the sought-after village of Whittlesford, approximately ten miles south of the city of Cambridge. The internal living space of 2,650 sq ft has been sensitively renovated, coupling modern details with the original 17^th Century architectural features. A densely planted cottage garden, tennis courts and grounds of around 0.65 acres surround the house, with off-street parking for several vehicles. Whittlesford Parkway is a five minutes by car and provides a direct route to London Liverpool Street in just over one hour.

The house is approached via a quiet country lane and set back from the road by a long shingle driveway and turning circle. Scarlet roses, tall wavering hollyhocks and deep beds of lavender and rosemary provide a charming introduction to the entrance, which is positioned under a pan-tiled arched porch way.

Two primary reception rooms are set to the left and the right of the ground floor plan, with dense oak beams, white-washed walls and parquet flooring running underfoot throughout. The expansive living room is a warm and welcoming space, cool in summer months and cosy in the winter, with thick stone walls and roaring open fires, set in the two red brick fireplaces.

The adjacent dining room also has an original log-burning stove and is interlinked to the kitchen, complete with original Conran enamel tiling, fittings and fixtures. Two staircases lead up to the first floor and the five beautifully proportioned bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and also a family bathroom.

Externally, expanses of lawn are edged by mature trees and shrubs, providing excellent privacy. Deep herbaceous borders of cottage-garden flowers are dotted around the terrace; a wonderful position for summer suppers, with open fields providing a rural backdrop.

Whittlesford is considered a most sought-after village in the area, renowned for excellent schooling and a rich community spirit. Regular community events are held on the village green and there are also shared tennis courts accessible to village residents. The popular village pub, The Tickell Arms, is a ten-minute walk away and serves a modern menu in an adjoining glasshouse.

Whittlesford Parkway is less than one and a half miles from the house and easily reachable by car or bicycle, providing routes to London Liverpool Street in around one hour and five minutes and Cambridge in approximately eight minutes.
