Description


A charming Grade II Listed cottage, set in just over a quarter of an acre plot with enviable views over Barrington Green. The property is well proportioned and has a self-contained annexe, a carport, and off road parking.

Candlestick Cottage is an extremely pretty, C17 thatched cottage that is often admired by visitors to the village. It was formerly the village butchers' shop and may also have been a bakers' in times gone by. The property is in a picturesque location and has direct access to the green.

The cottage offers versatile accommodation and is unexpectedly bright and spacious with many dual aspect rooms. It also benefits from a wealth of character features including exposed timbers, beautiful inglenook fireplaces, and pretty windows. The property does not suffer from the low ceilings so often associated with this type of home and benefits from a first floor bathroom. For those with mobility issues, the study on the ground floor has an en-suite cloakroom, making it equally ideal for use as a fifth bedroom.

The cottage is set well back from the road and has a driveway to the side providing off road parking and access to the carport. The front door opens to a small hallway and there are two reception rooms, one of which is dual aspect, while both have beautiful inglenook fireplaces and lovely views over the green.

The kitchen is at the far end of the building and is a bright, triple aspect room, which is very generously proportioned. There is a ceramic sink and drainer and space for a cooker, fridge, and freezer. There is also space for a table and chairs, a door to the ground floor shower room, and a door out to the rear garden. At the other end of the cottage is a bedroom/study with an en-suite cloakroom fitted with a w.c. and hand basin. The ground floor also features a utility/cloakroom with space for a washing machine and dryer as well as a further w.c. and hand-basin.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms all with lovely period features and most have exposed timbers. There are three doubles, two of which are dual aspect with views over the green and garden, and there is a further single room overlooking the rear garden, there is also a bathroom fitted with a bath, w.c. and hand basin.

The first floor is accessed over two staircases both of which are easy to climb.

The property has a private rear garden, which is laid to lawn with mature hedges, trees, and shrub borders. The annexe is completely self-contained and is an attractive looking building with a pantiled roof and weatherboard exterior. There is an open plan living room with a sitting area, and a kitchen fitted with a sink and drainer, cooker point, and space for a washing machine and fridge. The annexe also has a bedroom with an en-suite shower room off.

There is a small service charge of £150 for the maintenance of the green which is collected annually.
The annexe is A rated for council tax.

Barrington is renowned as one of the most beautiful villages south of Cambridge, with numerous handsome period buildings set around a large village green, purported to be the longest in England.

It is about 8 miles south west of Cambridge and is close to the A10, giving easy access to the M11. There are mainline railway stations available at Foxton and Shepreth which are 2 miles and 3 miles away respectively.

Local facilities include a 13th Century public house overlooking the green, a well-stocked post office stores, and an Ofsted 'Good' primary school.

About Cooke Curtis & Co, Cambridge

40 High Street, Trumpington, Cambridge, CB2 9LS
Industry affiliations:

Cooke Curtis and Co. have been Cambridge's thinkingest estate agents since 2015.

We're warm, we're bright, we're experienced, we're calm and considered under pressure, we're masterful marketeers and we're entirely devoted to giving our clients the very best we can.

And our best is demonstrably pretty exceptional. Witness our glowing (genuine, not paid for - watch out for that) online reviews and the industry awards and plaudits we can't stop winning (including Best Single Office Estate Agency in the whole of Great Britain from The Best Estate Agent Guide 2022 - beat that).

The people of Cambridge who have embraced us and shared in our success have done so not because we're the cheapest or the most ruthless, but because we always work enormously hard to achieve the best results for all our clients and we do so without compromising our ethos of being fair, honest and kind. Don't get us wrong, we're here to sell and let as many properties as we can, that kind of drive is exactly what you need from an estate agent, but we manage to do it without forgetting to make our parents proud of our methods as well as our results.

If we sound like your kind of people, you're probably our kind of person too. Let's work together.
