3 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Cottenham, Cambridge CB24

Tucker Gardner are delighted to present this attractive Grade II listed period home, situated in the village of Cottenham, just 7 miles north of Cambridge. Originally a farmhouse dating back to around 1850, with elements of an earlier 18th-century timber-frame structure, the property blends historic character with modern enhancements.

This detached, double-fronted residence offers versatile accommodation across two floors. The ground floor comprises four reception rooms, one of these (approx 6m x 4m) with a barn-like ceiling, a striking vaulted ceiling kitchen, a utility room, cloakroom, and bathroom. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en-suite WC and walk-in wardrobes (added in 2018), alongside a family shower room.

The house has undergone significant improvements over the years, including a full renovation in 1999, a rear extension in 2008, damp-proofing and insulation works in 2022, and sash window renovation in 2025. Both fireplaces in the main reception rooms remain functional for open fires, adding to the home’s period charm.

Externally, the property enjoys a lawned rear garden and driveway parking to the side. Please note: As part of the neighbouring barn renovation, the title for 35 High Street will be amended and the garden reduced in size (see attached plans).

Cottenham is a large and well-served village offering a wide range of amenities, including local shops, a Co-Op, pharmacy, two gp surgeries, dental practice, library, primary school, and secondary education at Cottenham Village College. The village also boasts a church, community centre, public houses, and restaurants. Excellent transport links via the A14 provide easy access to Cambridge, the M11, and A11 commuter routes.
