Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
- Rural location on the edge of Wimpole Estate
- Idyllic garden with stunning views beyond
- 4 Bedrooms
- Off street parking
- Additional garage
- Summer house, workshop and separate hobby room
The main entrance hall opens to either the 4th bedroom or as it is today, an impressive 23ft. dual-aspect music room, with its herringbone oak floor and garden views. The traditional kitchen with a tiled floor links the main hall with a second hallway with Victorian chequerboard floor tiles, which leads on to the striking octagonal drawing room, an excellent multi-aspect living and entertaining space with a central double-sided fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. In addition, there is a dining room with an ornate cast-iron fireplace and a further cloakroom.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom with a freestanding rolltop bathtub and large separate walk-in shower. The generous 22 ft. principal suite also benefits from an ensuite bathroom.
Outside, the generous gardens serve as an extension of the house itself. The garden has a framework of box hedges complemented by lawned areas, herbaceous borders, shrubs and roses. At around a third of an acre, the garden also offers a fruit and vegetable patch, a charming summer house and a paved terrace all of which are lovely places to sit and relax with the views of the beautiful countryside just beyond.
A brick-paved driveway and built-in garage provide parking for several vehicles, whilst the flexible outbuilding has been converted into a workshop and separate hobby room.
Old Wimpole is located on the edge of the National Trust Wimpole Estate, although the house itself is set on the corner of the estate well away from the hustle and bustle of the main hall. Also, being on a hill, the home benefits from wonderful views, which is rare amidst the flat landscape of Cambridgeshire. The rural location provides privacy, although it remains within easy reach of nearby villages for shops and excellent local schools such as Comberton and Bassingbourn Village Colleges. The historic city of Cambridge is just a short drive away, while trains from nearby Royston or St Neots take you into London with ease.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
