"PROPERTY SUMMARY The Collection by Harvey Robinson are delighted to offer this charming, Grade II Listed character cottage for sale in Fenstanton. Situated in a prominent position within the conservation area of the village and fronting the Honey Hill green, the property enjoys peace and tranquillity to the front and the rear and is unrivalled on the charm that it offers. Originally constructed circa 1650 as three separate cottages, it has since been joined into one dwelling and uses traditional construction techniques such as a reed thatched roof, exposed timber beams, and lathe and plaster throughout. There is also hardwood double glazing the entire way through the property. Upon entering, you are greeted with two generous reception rooms currently used as a lounge and a dining room, both with central open fireplaces. The property was extended in the 1980 s to provide further downstairs accommodation. There is a galley style kitchen leading to a dining area, with a solid wooden fitted kitchen with inset range oven and a complementary utility room. Completing the ground floor space of the main house there is a downstairs cloakroom and an extended rear boot room. The ground floor has been subdivided to create a separate annexe which forms the left wing of the ground floor. Currently accessed via its own entrance, this space incorporates a double bedroom, lounge, kitchen and bathroom and can be used completely independently from the main house if required, perfect for guest use or for renting out as a holiday home. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, a dressing room, a family bathroom and a recently refitted ensuite to the master bedroom. The rear garden is spacious and enjoys an excellent degree of privacy. There is a detached double garage with up and over door to the side of the property and a driveway in front. The garden is subdivided, providing a veggie patch, a cottage garden, and a large area of patio perfect for outdoor dining. Viewing of this truly unique property is essential and can be organised by contacting the St Ives office.
