About Orwell
Orwell is a lovely, traditional Cambridgeshire village
about 7 miles south west of Cambridge and a similar distance north
of Royston.
The pretty centre of the village carries very little
through traffic and its compact size gives it a close sense of
community aided by a thriving primary school, handsome dining pub,
general convenience store, post office and
hairdresser.
There is a large recreation ground and a Parish Council
owned hillside nature reserve that is a designated Site of Special
Scientific Interest.
A 15th Century Parish Church overlooks the village and
there is a village hall and Methodist Church.
There are tennis and football clubs, an amateur
dramatics society, singing group, gardening group and golf
society.
The National Trust‘s Wimpole Hall and Home Farm are
nearby.
Orwell is a most attractive village which lies to the
south of Cambridge with easy access to the A1198, A10, M11 and
A1.
Other facilities within the village include a general
storenewsagent, post office, public houserestaurant, hairdresser,
12 century parish church and Church of England Voluntary Aided
Primary School.
There is a large recreation ground and variety of clubs
and societies. It also has a village green with picnic area and
‘Site of Special Scientific Interest‘ (SSSI) supported by English
Nature.
The National Trust owned Wimpole Estate, which comprises
a magnificent country house with 3,000 acres of park and farmland,
is within about 1.5 miles.
Cambridge is just a few miles away (approx 7) and is not
only world renowned for its academic achievements, but has also
become a ‘high tech‘ and ‘bio tech‘ hub with the University
Research and Development Laboratories, Cambridge Science Park and
Addenbrooke‘s HospitalBiomedical Campus. The city also provides a
wide range of shopping and cultural facilities along with an
excellent choice of schools for all ages.
For the commuter the A603 gives easy access into west
Cambridge by Barton Road or on to the M11 in about 6 miles.
Royston‘s mainline station gives access to Kings Cross frequently
and quickly, often in under 40 minutes.
Additional Information:
Dating potentially from medieval times, it is thought that the
property was converted to a residential dwelling from what would
probably have been a barn for the main Lotfield farmhouse a couple
of doors down. It is on the Grade II listed buildings of
architectural or historic interest.
The Property was skilfully converted to create a bright and airy
cottage which successfully combines the convenience of modern
living with the charm and character of the original building.
Outside:
A small Path leads from the front door to a gravel driveway
(shared with next door) and on to a good sized front garden which
may provide an option to enclose.
Directions:
On entering the village from Fishers Lane, continue past the
church and take either the first or the second turning right into
Town Green Rd or Stocks Lane. Lotfield Street is a continuation of
Stocks Lane and joins to Town Green Rd at the other end. Primrose
Cottage (No.26) is on the left hand from Stocks Lane or right hand
side if coming in from Town Green Rd and sides with the street.
Schools:
Orwell is particularly well placed for access to schools on the
west and south sides of the city including St John‘s College School
and King‘s College School in Grange Road and the Perse, St Faith‘s
and The Ley‘s in Trumpington Road.
Transport:
A mainline railway station at nearby Royston (about 7 miles)
provides fast train services for commuters for London‘s King‘s
Cross in about 38 minutes. Transport Cambridge 8 miles, M11
(junction 12) 6 miles, Royston (fast train services to King‘s Cross
38 minutes) 7 miles, Stansted Airport 28 miles, (distances and time
are approximate).
