A beautifully refurbished, Grade II listed former farmhouse, featuring a delightful south facing garden, nestled in the attractive south Cambridgeshire village of Orwell.
Cambridge 8 miles, M11 (Junction 12) 6 miles, Royston (fast train service to King's Cross 38 minutes) 7 miles (distances and time are approximate).
West Farm House is Grade II listed, built in the 18th century and constructed with attractive red brick elevations under Flemish bond and hipped, tiled roofs. The present owners purchased the property in 2002 and undertook a substantial programme of alterations and refurbishment, with the use of high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Exceptional care has been taken to retain and enhance the period features, and the house offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
The rural and idyllic village of Orwell lies to the south of Cambridge with easy access to the A10, M11, A1 and A1198. Local facilities in the village include a general store/newsagent, post office, public house/restaurant, hairdresser, Methodist church, 12th century parish church and Church of England, voluntary aided primary school. There is walking access from the village to the National Trust's Wimpole Hall Estate and Farm which is within about 2 miles. This active village has many clubs and societies, including thriving drama and horticultural societies and a large recreation ground with a football team and tennis club. It also has a village green with picnic area and a village owned Clunch Pit which is a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) supported by English Nature.
Cambridge is a world-renowned University city which offers an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, winding lanes and colleges, together with extensive shopping and cultural facilities. It also has become recognised as an important centre for the 'high tech' and 'bio tech' industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories, Science Park, ARM, Microsoft, AstraZeneca and Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus, one of the largest centres of health, science and medical research in the world. Some of the most highly regarded schools in the city, such as St Faith's, The Stephen Perse Foundation, The Perse, The Leys and St Mary's are also located on the south side of the city. London commuters are well served with a mainline railway station at Royston about 7 miles with services to King's Cross in about 38 minutes and the M11 (junction 12) is about 6 miles away, providing access to Stansted Airport and the M25.
