Gog Magog Cottages, Haverhill Road

Set at the end of a private road in one of the area’s most distinctive settings, this substantial semi-detached family home extends to over 2,090 sqft and occupies grounds of approximately 0.7 acres. Constructed in the 1930s and enjoying an elevated position on the edge of the Gog Magog Hills, the property combines generous family accommodation with a setting that is difficult to replicate; mature gardens, open views across the Cambridgeshire landscape and direct proximity to protected countryside.

The house has evolved carefully over many years to provide flexible accommodation suited to modern family life. The layout offers a balance between shared and quieter spaces, with two substantial reception rooms and a separate study creating scope for family living, home working and entertaining without compromise. Both principal reception rooms enjoy a strong relationship with the gardens, with large windows and glazed doors bringing natural light into the house and creating a connection with the surrounding landscape.

The kitchen/breakfast room is arranged as a practical everyday space with generous cabinetry and room for informal dining, while the separate study offers a useful work-from-home space away from the main living areas. Across the first floor there are five bedrooms and four bath/shower facilities, giving the house flexibility for larger families, visiting guests or multigenerational living. The principal bedroom benefits from its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while a second bedroom suite with dressing area and ensuite provides equally adaptable accommodation.

Outside, the grounds are a defining feature of the property. Extending to approximately 0.7 acres, the gardens are arranged predominantly as lawn interspersed with mature trees, established planting and a number of seating areas designed to make the most of the setting. A broad terrace sits directly off the house for outdoor dining, while a summer house and further garden areas provide additional usable space beyond the immediate patio. A double garage and extensive driveway parking complete the practical aspects of the property.
