Full Details

We are delighted to present this exceptional Grade II listed thatched cottage in the picturesque village of Great Wilbraham. This is a unique cottage, steeped with an abundance of character and history that will certainly captivate the next owners.

This 4/5-bedroom detached cottage with three reception rooms on the ground floor, offers a fantastic space for both entertaining and hosting guests as well as creating an idyllic and spacious home. The original cottage dates back to the 13th century which lends to the historical importance of the property. An especially noteworthy feature is that some of the beams in the cottage were taken from the Church itself during a restoration project in what is believed to be the 19th century. The current owner is a former master builder and he devotedly restored the cottage to its former glory himself. This was a labour of love and you can instantly appreciate and admire his achievements in sympathetically maintaining many of the original features. The cottage famously has been recognised by the makers of Lilliput Lane cottages and both 'dew drop cottage' and a winter version were modelled off the original stable of the property.

Exposed wooden beams feature throughout the property. Stunning gardens with a breath-taking view of the Church which is directly opposite the cottage. This is a rare opportunity and to view the property in person will allow all the charm of the cottage to speak for itself.

As you enter the property through the solid oak door, you instantly get a feel of the charm that is prevalent throughout the property and its grounds.

From the entrance hall, you enter the lounge on the right:
Lounge: 11'4" x 15'5" (3.45 x 4.71m)

Great Wilbraham

This lovely village is host to idyllic countryside views, a wealth of local history including the present Church which dates from the 12th Century and all of the anticipated charm and character of an English village. There is a local post office/shop and various local businesses. The village has a strong community presence, and the Great Wilbraham Parish Council meets fortnightly to discuss village events. There is a local primary school which has maintained a Good Ofsted rating in the recent years.

The village is just a 15-minute drive to Cambridge City Centre, where there are brilliant historical buildings, many associated with the esteemed University of Cambridge and plenty of popular shops, restaurants and other amenities. The PR2 bus route from Stretchworth to Cambridge City Centre runs through Great Wilbraham and will take roughly 32 minutes to arrive at Cambridge Drummer Street Station. Road access to A11/A14 and M11 motorway.
