Grade II Listed Thatched Cottage | Beautifully Restored | Village Setting | Walled Garden | Great Links to Cambridge & London

A charming detached thatched cottage in the heart of Melbourn, thoughtfully restored and full of character, with a private walled garden and excellent connections for commuters.

Tucked away on the High Street in the sought-after village of Melbourn, this beautifully presented Grade II listed detached cottage blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Lovingly restored and sympathetically renovated, the home keeps its original character while offering the comfort and practicality needed for everyday living.

Inside, you will find a warm and welcoming layout with plenty of personality, from exposed beams to cosy living spaces, all finished with care to respect the age and style of the property. Every improvement has been made with the character of the cottage in mind, creating a home that feels both timeless and easy to live in.

Outside, the walled rear garden offers a private and peaceful spot to relax, entertain or enjoy a bit of gardening, with the kind of setting that is hard to find in such a central village location.

Melbourn remains one of the most popular villages in the area thanks to its strong community feel and everyday convenience. The property is within walking distance of Meldreth station, local shops, pubs, schools, riverside walks, GP and dental surgeries, and a range of useful amenities. For commuters, there is straightforward access to the A10, A505, A1(M) and M11, with Cambridge and Royston both close by. London can be reached by train in under an hour, without needing to change, and Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Biomedical Campus are also within easy reach by car and with the new Cambridge South Station opening soon, also by train.

A rare chance to own a character home in a well-connected village setting, with the hard work already done.
