5 bedroom detached house for sale

This wonderful Historic, Grade II listed former coaching Inn is understood to date back to the mid 16th Century, built during the reign of King Henry VIII. The Swan and Salmon has evolved over the years and in its current form offers hugely practical accommodation extending to five double bedrooms, a dressing room, two bedrooms have en suites and there are two further bathrooms. There is generous ground floor living accommodation and a bespoke Kitchen/Breakfast room.

The house has been beautifully restored and still retains many stunning period features and character elements. The tasteful and costly refurbishments very nicely compliment the tone of the original house. There are numerous notable Inglenook fireplaces, many original internal doors with smithy hinges and masses of exposed brick and timber work. Every room has its own individual charm and character. It really must be viewed to fully appreciate the scale of the building and all the wonderful elements to the house.

The house stands in well established gardens with a detached Cart Barn and private parking for quite a number of vehicles.

With anecdotal connections to the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin this really is a fabulous opportunity to acquire one of Cambridgeshire’s truly Historic private houses.
