Camps End, Castle Camps, CB21

Set amid open countryside at Camps End, Byhurst Cottage is a characterful detached home offering approximately 1,275 sq ft of versatile accommodation. Mature gardens, established trees and farmland beyond create a wonderfully private, peaceful backdrop, making this an appealing escape from busier town or city living without feeling disconnected. A gravelled driveway provides parking alongside the cottage.

The entrance hall opens to a ground-floor bathroom with a shower and the impressive living room, where exposed timbers, traditional detailing and a broad brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove establish the cottage’s warm, welcoming character. Windows draw in natural light and frame leafy garden views, while the generous proportions provide room for relaxed seating and entertaining.

At the opposite end of the house, the kitchen forms a practical everyday hub and features an Everhot electric stove, combining traditional country styling with modern convenience. A utility room provides valuable additional storage and laundry space, while the adjoining office offers an ideal place to work from home and could equally serve as an occasional fourth bedroom, playroom or snug.

Upstairs, three individual bedrooms retain the cottage atmosphere through sloping ceilings, exposed beams and timber doors. Each bedroom benefits from fitted storage, while the family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, serves the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the established gardens offer space for outdoor dining, children to play and keen gardeners to develop, with lawns, mature planting and useful outbuildings. The surrounding network of lanes, footpaths and open countryside encourages walking, cycling and a slower pace of life.

Despite its rural position, the property remains well placed for Cambridge, Linton, Haverhill and Saffron Walden. Great Chesterford and Audley End stations provide rail connections towards Cambridge and London Liverpool Street, allowing buyers to enjoy country living while retaining practical access for commuting, hybrid working and city-based leisure.
