House For Sale £800,000
This charming, thatched Grade II listed cottage is set in over one acre with far reaching south facing open field views to the rear and offers idyllic countryside living while being just an eight minute drive to St Neots Train Station with services into London in about 40 minutes and a 20 minute drive into Cambridge.
Dating back to the 16th century there is a plethora of period features throughout the beautiful accommodation. The spacious dual aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace and word burning stove, original beams and bifold doors lead to the garden/family room with French doors overlooking the garden and countryside views. The good size dining room has a brick feature fireplace with wood burning stove. The contemporary shaker style kitchen breakfast room has been finished with granite worksurfaces, underfloor heating and French doors opening onto the generous size patio, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs the principal bedroom with some exposed brickwork and original beams has a large dressing area which leads to one of the recently refitted family bathrooms. The second double bedroom has exposed beams and built in storage and the third double bedroom, currently used as a home office, are served by another recently refitted family bathroom.
Passing through the wooden farm gates the newly laid drive offers ample parking and access to the double garage. The room above the garage would make an ideal space to work from home or could potentially be converted into a self-contained annexe subject to the necessary consents. The patio and garden have far reaching countryside views and the natural pond and abundance of mature trees throughout the garden is a haven for wildlife.
Seller Insight
Situated in a glorious location within the quiet, friendly, village of Toseland, surrounded by a stunning pastoral landscape, this delightful, pristine, thatched, period, cottage has been the home for Pat and Anna for the past twelve months.
“We wished to move out of London into a property with a rural setting, but one which offered easy access to both road and rail networks. We were attracted to Toseland, not only because of its fabulous location but the village had an open welcoming ambience - discovering Mulberry Cottage was the icing on the cake. Everything the cottage offered was perfect for our busy lifestyle, with the added advantage of excellent amenities for home working. In pristine condition when we moved to live here we have, of course, added our own enhancements to the cottage which included new bathrooms and kitchen. The cottage very much reflects its unique history but has the added benefits of the luxuries and comforts essential for modern day lifestyles. The generous amount of glazing enables natural daylight to flood into our home and the flexible adaptable layout presents a sociable flow. It is such a natural hospitable home into which we have welcomed our family and friends on several occasions.”
“As with the house, we have given much attention to the outside of the cottage. The driveway has been improved, as has the patio at the rear. The cottage sits within its spacious garden whilst the meadow beyond extends its space. It is an absolute delight to enjoy al fresco dining outside, relax and savour the multitude of visiting wildlife passing over or through our garden, or to watch the seasons unfold. We do take advantage of our local environs and it is so easy to depart direct from the house and enjoy walking in the local countryside.”
“We do have a community shop in the village but, within minutes, we can be in the bustling market town of St Neots where several quality supermarkets are located. It is from here where we can catch the train into St Pancras which takes under one hour. We are also very close to the A1 and, also, the recently upgraded A14 which we use to visit the beautiful city of Cambridge for its architecture, cultural activities and outstanding shopping facilities.”
“It is for logistical reasons that we must sadly say farewell to our magical home in this exceptional village. We have enjoyed participating in village life which we will miss, along with the many friends we have made.
