Pierce Lane, Fulbourn, Cambridge

A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning detached Grade II listed thatched house, in the heart of Fulbourn, extended and beautifully presented, retaining many original features and set within gardens and grounds of 0.4 acres.

35 Pierce Lane is a stunning detached Grade II listed residence dating back to the seventeenth century with later additions, most recently the kitchen extension in 2000. It was completely re-thatched last year (2025). The boiler was replaced in 2020 and the property has been periodically improved by the current owners, yet with great care taken to preserve all of the character and charm associated with the original building. The property offers the best of both worlds, blending many of the original features with all the modern conveniences associated with contemporary family life. The property is nestled in mature and private gardens and grounds which extend to 0.4 acres with a generous driveway and garage.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading to a hall with parquet flooring. There are three reception rooms, both the sitting room and dining/family room have feature inglenook fireplaces and a wealth of exposed timbers. The generous office/music room is a Victorian extension. The property's side entrance opens to the reception hall, off of which is a utility room and a cloakroom/WC. The kitchen/breakfast room is very much the heart of this beautiful home, enjoying a dual aspect with stable door that leads to the kitchen garden and patio. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, solid hardwood working surfaces with inset ceramic butler sink, integrated freezer and dishwasher plus a Smeg range style cooker and space for an American style fridge/freezer.

Upstairs off the landing are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Most notably is the dual aspect master bedroom with exposed timbers and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has vaulted ceiling and access to the family bathroom via a Jack & Jill arrangement.

Outside, a driveway provides off road parking for at least four vehicles and leads to a single garage, power and light connected plus EV car charging facility. The beautiful gardens envelope the property on all sides, laid mainly to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds, a wide and varied selection of plants, specimen trees, bushes and hedging with seating areas dotted throughout and there is ample space for children to play. The kitchen garden is enclosed by a picket fence with a generous paved terrace, making this a wonderful place for alfresco dining and summer evening entertaining. The property is completely screened on all sides from the road and enjoys maximum levels of privacy and seclusion.
