West Street, Comberton, Cambridge

A stunning detached Grade II listed period house, extended and beautifully presented, retaining many original features and set within a large South facing garden in this highly sought-after village.

Morcott is a beautiful 18th century Grade II listed thatched cottage, which has been subject to a programme of expansion and sympathetic refurbishment. The property was extended in the year 2000 and offers spacious, versatile and beautifully presented accommodation. The current owners have made a series of improvements and periodic updating. Most notably these include a full re-thatching in 2024, a kitchen refurbishment in 2023 and a new boiler in 2025, yet at all time preserving the original character features and unquestionable charm of the original building.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, which gives access to a large siting room with a feature fireplace and exposed timbers. There is a further lounge, again with a wood burning stove and exposed timbers. Off an inner hallway is a shower room and an office, which boasts a mezzanine sleeping deck above and views over the garden beyond. The kitchen/dining/family room is the heart of this beautiful residence and boasts a virtually glazed rear elevation and a glazed vaulted ceiling and a door to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with attractive cabinetry, including deep pan drawers, pull out larder cupboards and a matching dresser with integral lighting, ample quartz working surfaces with an inset ceramic butler sink, bevel drainer and a matching central island, again with quartz tops. There is a Bertazzoni range cooker with an extractor over, an integrated dishwasher and microwave, a bin store and an American style fridge/freezer. Just off is a utility room, which accommodates the new Firebird envirogreen boiler with a 10 year guarantee, plus space for the usual white goods and door to the garage. The ground floor also accommodates the principle master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a door to the garden, dressing room and a luxury ensuite shower room. There are two staircases to the first floor and these lead to three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, which includes a claw-foot roll top bath and there is a separate WC also.

Outside, there is a large one-car garage with bi-folding doors, power and light connected, and a door to the utility room. Secure gated side access leads to the rear garden, which is mainly laid to shaped and manicured lawns with flower and shrub borders and beds, a selection of specimen trees and mature bushes, a generous paved patio with pathway to a wildlife pond with bridge over to an additional paved terrace with pergola above. There are raised vegetable, herb and fruit beds, a greenhouse, timber shed, chicken coop, bike shed and a discreetly positioned oil tank. All enjoy a sunny southerly aspect and excellent levels of privacy and seclusion.
