Halfway House is a charming and characterful Grade II Listed detached thatched cottage, occupying a delightful semi-rural position along the Dunsbridge Turnpike, on the edge of the highly regarded village of Shepreth. Surrounded by open countryside and set within approximately one acre of garden land, the property offers a rare blend of period charm, generous accommodation and exciting future potential.
The cottage provides approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of internal accommodation, inclusive of the detached barn, and is thoughtfully arranged to offer versatile living space well suited to modern family life. The main house features three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, alongside a separate family bathroom. The living accommodation is flexible in nature, allowing rooms to be adapted for formal or informal use, home working, or multi-generational living.
Externally, the property is approached via an attractive U-shaped in-and-out driveway, providing ample parking A detached garage sits behind the 5 bar gate. The gardens extend to approximately one acre, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and space, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside—ideal for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle or keen gardeners looking for scope to create something special.
A particular highlight is the substantial detached barn, measuring almost 1,100 sq. ft., which presents an excellent opportunity for conversion (subject to the necessary planning permissions). This space could lend itself to ancillary accommodation, a home office, studio, or leisure use, significantly enhancing the overall offering.
The thatched roof has been rethatched and ridged approximately two years ago, providing reassurance on one of the most important elements of a property of this nature. While the house would now benefit from a degree of modernisation and TLC, this has been reflected in the opportunity to create a bespoke country home tailored to individual tastes.
The property is offered Freehold and, as a Grade II Listed building, is EPC exempt.
Despite its idyllic setting, Halfway House is exceptionally well connected, with a golf club and coffee shop, garden centre, and Shepreth train station all within close proximity, making it a rare combination of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.
