A substantial former Vicarage with extensive, well-proportioned accommodation, situated within established gardens of just over an acre, in the heart of this convenient south Cambridgeshire village.

Cambridge 7 miles, Whittlesford Parkway Station (Liverpool Street 1 hour) 2 miles, Stansted Airport 20 miles, London 53 miles, (distances and time are approximate).

Dating from 1882, The Old Vicarage is constructed with brick elevations under slate roofs. It is a classic example of Victorian architecture with beautifully proportioned rooms, high ceilings and large windows. The extensive accommodation, arranged over 3 floors, has been extended and altered over the years to create a substantial home which offers tremendous versatility, suitable for a variety of needs. Further planning permission has been obtained ref: S/2208/18/FL for alterations to the second floor with roof windows, demolition of the boiler house, conversion of the stable block to provide a useful annex, construction of a two bay cart lodge and extension of the driveway.

In short, the property provides a rare opportunity to acquire a 6 bedroom, period house with many fine original features, well situated for access to Cambridge.
