Stonebridge Lane, Fulbourn, CB21

This Grade II listed thatched cottage, believed to date back to the 18th century, is full of character and charm. Tucked away in a peaceful position on Stonebridge Lane in the sought-after village of Fulbourn, the property was originally two cottages and later converted into one, creating generous and flexible accommodation extending to circa 246 sq.m. While the house now requires modernisation throughout, it retains an abundance of period features including exposed beams, fireplaces and panelling, and offers superb scope to update and create a wonderful family home.

The ground floor comprises a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, utility and store, as well as two large reception rooms – a sitting room with bay window and fireplace, and a spacious living/dining room. A bathroom and further utility complete this level. The first floor is arranged into two wings: the main bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom, and three further bedrooms plus a WC. This flexible layout could easily accommodate multi-generational living or an annexe.

Outside, the cottage is set well back from the road in mature gardens with fruit trees and a gate leading to a wildflower paddock. A double cart lodge, storage and driveway provide ample parking. The property enjoys a private and secluded setting yet is only a short walk from village amenities including a primary school, butcher and greengrocer, and just a few miles from the historic city of Cambridge with its excellent schools, road links and rail connections. A rare opportunity to modernise and personalise a period home of considerable character in a desirable south Cambridgeshire village.
