Mill Hill, Weston Colville, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire,

A handsome unlisted former rectory tucked away at the end of a long private drive, perfectly positioned in the centre of its plot and surrounded by peace, privacy.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
The Old Rectory is the kind of house you dream of – a handsome unlisted former rectory tucked away at the end of a long private drive, perfectly positioned in the centre of its plot and surrounded by peace, privacy and beautifully tended gardens.

The house is full of charm, warmth and light. Sunlight streams through large sash windows, illuminating soft tones and original features throughout. The proportions are spot on. High ceilings, wide hallways and generously sized rooms that lend themselves to everyday living and entertaining.

The drawing room is elegant and inviting, with an open fire and garden views. French doors open into the garden room, a peaceful space to enjoy year-round. There’s a cosy sitting room and a separate study, while the kitchen is the true heart of the home, centred around the AGA, it's made for relaxed gatherings.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a calm retreat with its own dressing room, en suite and sweeping views across the garden. All the bedrooms are generous in size, ideal for family living and welcoming guests – with a separate guest suite, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, lawns stretch out from the house, with terraces for entertaining and space to roam. There’s a tennis court, paddock, and two converted outbuildings – one set up as a playroom, the other as a separate home office.

The Old Rectory is elegant, timeless and incredibly special.


ABOUT THIS AREA
The Old Rectory sits just outside the charming village of Weston Colville, one of those rare homes that offers proper countryside living without compromising on connection.

Surrounded by rolling fields and big skies, you’re just 25 minutes from the centre of Cambridge, with London easily reached by road or rail, door to door in less than an hour and a half.
Newmarket is just over 10 minutes away and offers a fantastic range of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and local amenities. It’s also a global hub for equestrian sport, renowned for its racecourses and training grounds.

Families are especially drawn to the area for its outstanding education. Top-rated village primaries sit alongside some of the region’s most sought-after independents – including The Perse, St Mary’s, The Leys, and King’s Ely.

Weston Colville itself has a strong community spirit, with a cricket club, village green, and a network of footpaths and bridleways to explore the open countryside. Nearby beauty spots such as the Gog Magog Hills, Wandlebury and the meadows along the River Cam offer endless opportunities for walking, cycling and weekend adventures.

The Old Rectory ticks every box – connected, peaceful and perfectly set up for family life.
