4 bedroom detached house

Rose Cottage is a beautifully presented detached property built in the late 17th century. It exudes a wealth of traditional character, with its quintessential long straw thatched roof, plastered timber framed elevations with contrasting red windows and doors and exposed internal beamwork.

A light-filled reception hall opens into the attractive dining room and adjacent drawing room, divided via a central fireplace and inset log-burning stove with stone hearth. From here is a separate potential study space and from the vaulted drawing room, French doors open into the peaceful terrace. Further is the bright and stylish kitchen comprising a range of chic bespoke curved cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces and a variety of integrated appliances including a 5-burner gas hob. The space flows naturally into the peaceful breakfast room and further utility. Completing the floor is a luxury family bathroom with a chic freestanding bathtub and separate walk-in shower.

A pair of turned stairways rise to the split first-floor level, which houses the larger principal suite alongside a contemporary shower room and two further well-proportioned bedrooms with peaceful garden views.

The property also benefits from a sizeable and carefully landscaped private wrap-around plot with picturesque views of adjacent pastural fields, approached via a generous gravelled driveway. The adaptable two-storey annexe has a sleek fitted kitchenette with built-in appliances, alongside a living area and a modern shower room. A stairway rises to the first-floor study or potential bedroom. The pretty garden is divided into neat sections, with a formally arranged front garden and several sections of level lawn, a wealth of considered and manicured shrubbery, trees and a large tranquil pond. There are charming paved and gravelled terraces enjoyed by both buildings and a wealth of mature and colourful varied planting and beds throughout.

The property is located within a Conservation Area and on a no through road leading to Croxton Park, with its designated historic Grade II parkland and organic livestock farm surrounding the village.

The historic university city of Cambridge is just a short distance away, whilst St. Neots station offers speedy London rail links. Convenient road connections are available via the A1 and A14 to the M11 and M1 motorways.
