Area:

Cottenham is one of the larger villages surrounding the city of Cambridge. The property is situated in a prime location in the heart of the village, bordered by the civil parish of Histon and Impington to the south.

Amenities:

As a relatively large village, Cottenham has numerous amenities including two GP surgeries, a dental surgery, public library, Co-operative store, pharmacy, butcher, bakery, greengrocers, two newsagents (one of which now incorporates the Post Office) a primary school, and a secondary school and adult education centre combined in Cottenham Village College. There are numerous other small businesses, organisations and charities present in the village. Cottenham has four remaining public houses: The Chequers, The Hop Bind, The Jolly Millers (temporarily closed) and The Waggon and Horses. Cottenham also has a fish and chip shop and Chinese takeaway, as well as a curry house established in the former White Horse public house. The Cottenham Community Centre (CCC) and coffee shop is on the High Street on the site of the old Methodist church, opposite the Co-op.

The recreation ground is located off Lamb's Lane and is home to Cottenham United Football Club, Cottenham Cricket Club and a bowling green and tennis club.

The Village College provides a gymnasium, sports centre and field, 3G pitch and tennis courts for the community. The college is also home to the Cottenham Renegades, north Cambridge's only rugby-for-pleasure club; the team is also affiliated with The Cottenham Club.

Travel / Infrastructure:

For the commuter there are fast and frequent train services from both Ely, Waterbeach and Cambridge, serving London's Kings Cross and Liverpool Street Stations. There is also ready access to the A14, A11 and M11 with Stansted Airport being just approximately 45 miles distant. The property is conveniently located 6 miles from Cambridge and 9 miles from Ely. 

The village is directly connected by road to Cambridge by the B1049, with rail links to London at Waterbeach, accessible via Beach Road. Cycle commuters from Cottenham make use of a shared pedestrian and cycle track that lies between Cottenham and Histon, which is to be expanded towards Cambridge in 2018. Cottenham lies four miles north-west of Cambridge Science Park and Cambridge Business Park, both accessible by car and by the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, which has an adjacent commuter cycle track. Cottenham also lies directly west of Cambridge Research Park, with bus services linking the village to Cambridge, Ely and to neighbouring Fen Edge villages.

Schooling:

The area offers a wide range of state schooling including a primary school, and a secondary school and adult education centre combined in Cottenham Village College and the many independent schools and sixth form colleges in Cambridge.

Cottenham Racecourse

Horse riding is relatively popular in the parish, with numerous maintained bridleways and riding clubs. A racecourse lies directly to the east of the village at Mason's Pasture off Beach Road. The University of Cambridge horse racing clubs have been riding at Mason's Pasture since the late 18th century. The Grand National Hunt Steeple Chase, now held at the Cheltenham Festival, was staged there in 1870 and 1877. A permanent course was laid out in the 1880s and the land bought by the parish in 1918, with the grandstand rebuilt in 1923. The racecourse is used for three point-to-point race meetings each year, usually in January, February and March.

Full Details:

On approach you are greeted by a mix of quality village properties.

This impressive Barn Conversion provides an imposing yet private setting, within an incredibly sought-after location. This style and size of property is incredibly rare in the area and with such close proximity to Cambridge.

This unique six-bedroom barn conversion offers a wealth of versatile accommodation exceeding 3,759 square feet and with the unusual yet useful fact that it remains not a listed building! We believe it dates from circa 1755.

SITTING / DINING ROOM

SITTING ROOM: 25' x 15' (7.62m x 4.57m).

DINING ROOM: 19.5' x 15' (5.92m x 4.57m).

The more than generous ground floor space provides an open plan living area with a vaulted ceiling to the dining room, a large solid fuel burner fireplace central to the living space and creating two distinct zones including the sitting room with French doors to the outside space (Currently overgrown).

GALLERIED LANDING

The dining space is wrapped with a galleried landing, providing a real focal point and hub of this impressive property and the perfect space for entertaining. The oak beams can be enjoyed throughout, and the space is well lit.

KITCHEN

19' 7” x 11' 4" (5.97m x 3.45m).

The kitchen is fitted with matching wall and base units, range style cooker, solid wood worktops, apron/farmhouse sink, free standing mobile island and a rear door leading on to the garden and what could be an excellent and very useful breakfast terrace if cleared.

UTILITY ROOM

8' x 7' 9" (2.44 x 2.36m).

Just off the kitchen is a utility room allowing space and plumbing for utilities, keeping the laundry hidden and out of view.

GUEST SUITE / BEDROOM 2

19' x 12' 8" (5.97 x 3.86m).

There’s a guest suite complete with en-suite bath/shower/sink. With a re-fit, we believe there is also space and plumbing for a wc here.

FAMILY WC (GROUND FLOOR)

Family wc/sink

OFFICE / RECEPTION ROOM

10' x 7' 8" (3.05m x 2.34m).

Further reception room on the ground floor with outlook onto the front of the property.

SWIMMING POOL / POOL ROOM

19' 10”x 19' 9" (6.05m x 6.02m).

The "Endless" indoor heated swimming pool is a fantastic addition to this property and was added at significant cost. It has been designed for low maintenance. It has a water current that can be set via remote control to the speed of most swimmers, perfect for health and fitness. There’s also floor space for additional gym equipment. A superb leisure space for the family to enjoy and when friends come to visit.

MASTER SUITE / BEDROOM 1

OUTSIDE

Externally, the front of the property is at the end of a private courtyard and has a gravel driveway which allows parking for several vehicles.

The rear garden is located to the left side of the property which is fully enclosed with high walling and gated access to the front. This area is overgrown and will need clearing by the new owners but will provide an excellent family space once cleared.

There are lovely period features throughout with solid wood flooring (certain rooms will need sanding back and re-sealing).

The property provides a fantastic opportunity to own a very large authentic barn conversion that remains unlisted and therefore without the normal restrictions that one would expect to be in place for a property of this period. There is not insignificant work to get this property up to par. The gardens will need considerable clearing and the property itself will require a complete makeover. Given that most buyers would want to put their own stamp on a property like this, we think this is an excellent opportunity to do just that.

Chain Free / Not a listed building / 3,759sq ft of living space / Indoor heated swimming pool / Close proximity to Cambridge.
