About Orwell

Orwell is a lovely, traditional Cambridgeshire village about 7 miles south west of Cambridge and a similar distance north of Royston.

The pretty centre of the village carries very little through traffic and its compact size gives it a close sense of community aided by a thriving primary school, handsome dining pub, general convenience store, post office and hairdresser.

There is a large recreation ground and a Parish Council owned hillside nature reserve that is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. A 15th Century Parish Church overlooks the village and there is a village hall and Methodist Church. There are tennis and football clubs, an amateur dramatics society, singing group, gardening group and golf society.

The National Trust's Wimpole Hall and Home Farm are nearby.

For the commuter the A603 gives easy access into west Cambridge by Barton Road or on to the M11 in about 6 miles. Royston's mainline station gives access to Kings Cross frequently and quickly, often in under 40 minutes.

Additional Information

Dating potentially from medieval times, it is thought that the property was converted to a residential dwelling from what would probably have been a barn for the main Lotfield farmhouse a couple of doors down. It is on the Grade II listed buildings of architectural or historic interest. The Property was skilfully converted to create a bright and airy cottage which successfully combines the convenience of modern living with the charm and character of the original building.

Outside

Small Path leads from the front door to a gravel driveway (shared with next door) and on to a good sized front garden which may provide an option to enclose.

Directions

On entering the village from Fishers Lane, continue past the church and take either the first or the second turning right into Town Green Rd or Stocks Lane. Lotfield Street is a continuation of Stocks Lane and joins to Town Green Rd at the other end. Primrose Cottage (No.26) is on the left hand from Stocks Lane or right hand side if coming in from Town Green Rd and sides with the street.
