Description

Rose Cottage is an incredibly special period detached cottage located in an equally wonderful setting, almost completely surrounded by countryside yet only a 10-12 minute walk to the village centre and its excellent facilities and amenities.

For a period home, Rose Cottage is incredibly light, particularly the living room, which features a triple aspect with French doors to the large rear garden.

The house is believed to have been built in 1680. It is Grade II Listed and constructed with timber-framed and plastered elevations under a thatched roof. In the 1980s, the house was extended to create the living room, bedroom 1, and en-suite. The detached double garage was also built at that time.

The house is full of character and charm, with a wealth of original features, including exposed timbers, brick floors, and an inglenook fireplace. Yet it is practical in the modern sense, with spacious, versatile living accommodation, a kitchen with hand-crafted cabinets and an integrated Neff dishwasher, two bath/shower rooms on the first floor, a ground-floor wc and an incredibly useful detached annexe, complete with a toilet and shower, and small kitchen. The annexe is a perfect place for visiting guests to stay, and the covered terrace provides a charming and relaxing entertaining space.

The gardens are particularly special. They are enclosed by mature hedgerows and trees, which create a high level of privacy. There are extensive lawns, a large kitchen garden and greenhouse, mature flower beds, and an ornamental pond.

A detached double garage with power and light has an adjoining office, a perfect work-from-home space located a few moments' walk from the main house.

There is parking for three vehicles on the paved drive.

Bourn is a rather splendid village, and in 2023 was voted as one of the Sunday Times’ Best Places to Live in East Anglia. Bourn punches massively above its weight in terms of services and amenities per capita. It has a locally-owned gastro pub, an award-winning Indian restaurant, and a popular café. Bourn is also home to the super-swish Cambridge Country Club, which includes a golf course and health spa. Other excellent amenities include an outdoor hot tub experience centre and the Wysing Arts Centre.

Bourn features a number of practical services including a doctor’s surgery, butcher, local shop, and primary school that feeds into high-achieving Comberton Village College and Sixth form. Bourn provides country living within commuting distance to all that the historic city of Cambridge has to offer.
