Elevated gracefully beneath a pitched tile and slate roof, View Farm is a charmingly presented period family residence featuring characterful accommodation and modern enhancements, notably highlighted by its contemporary, architecturally designed extension.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious hall that serves as the central hub connecting the original and new sections seamlessly.
Turning left from the entrance hall leads you to the original cottage, where the dining room takes centre stage around an inset wood burner. A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine level, currently used as a study. Continuing from the dining room is a sitting room featuring a striking inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and stairs leading to the guest bedroom, equipped with a cloakroom and built-in wardrobes. Flowing from the sitting room is the sun room, providing captivating views over the gardens and direct access to the rear patio. The sitting room also grants access to the wine cellar. The centrally positioned kitchen comprises wall and base cabinetry, with a mono-pitched ceiling with roof lights and Velfac windows offering picturesque views onto the paved patio and gardens beyond.

Gardens and Grounds
The property encompasses front and rear gardens spanning just over two acres. A private gravel driveway provides ample parking, leading to a substantial open fronted garage with a studio/office above, accessed via a rear staircase. A further 5-bar gate to one side gives vehicle access to the side of the rear plot and gardens if required. A neighbour has agricultural access only to a meadow backing on to View Farm.

The expansive patio area from the rear serves as an ideal outdoor entertaining space, enclosed by raised beds and featuring an ornamental fish pond. Steps lead to the extensive lawned area with herbaceous borders, mature trees, and another pond. The gardens also contain a generous workshop with light and power adjacent to the growing area with three greenhouses, raised and covered beds, and a potting shed. At the top of the garden is extensive storage, including a seven-bay wood store area, a separate three-bay unit, which stores a trailer and lawn mower with additional storage and access to the meadow beyond.


Bourn is an attractive west Cambridgeshire village with a good range of local facilities, including a post office/shop, church, hairdressers, cafe, two public houses/restaurants, and a primary school rated as outstanding by Ofsted. Cambridge Country Club (formerly Bourn Golf and Country Club) is a luxurious new complex, offering a wellness centre, gym, luxury spa, swimming pool, and a bar and restaurant with views over the well-established 18-hole golf course.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). 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
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
