Description
This characterful property blends rustic appeal with modern comfort and presents excellent potential to extend (STPP) or remodel to suit individual needs. Inside, the cottage features two bedrooms, a spacious lounge with period detailing, a fitted kitchen, and a ground-floor bathroom.
A major highlight of this home is the detached self-contained annexe, a beautifully finished one-bedroom building offering stylish, contemporary accommodation comprising a lounge, kitchen, double bedroom, and modern bathroom. French doors open to a private decking area with hot tub, enjoying views over the surrounding gardens and grounds.
The property benefits from newly installed solar panels, significantly reducing running costs by generating the majority of the home's electricity, and is sustained by a private well, providing an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient water supply.
Within the grounds is a timber stable block, ideal for storage or potential equestrian use, and a former ménage area, which could be reinstated with some works or repurposed to suit individual requirements — offering further scope and flexibility for outdoor enthusiasts or those seeking a smallholding lifestyle.
The annexe is ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or as a potential income opportunity for those seeking a small-scale holiday rental or Airbnb-style investment (subject to permissions).
Outside, the mature grounds extend to approximately 3.25 acres, offering a mix of formal gardens, open lawns, and woodland areas — providing a peaceful backdrop for outdoor living, entertaining, and recreation.
Located on the outskirts of Royston, within easy reach of Ashwell & Morden Station (approx. 35 minutes to Kings Cross) and excellent road links to London, Cambridge, and surrounding towns, this unique property combines rural tranquillity with modern convenience.
Offered chain free, Jockey Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in a stunning countryside setting.
