A beautiful Grade II listed thatched roof cottage, in one of Cambridgeshire’s prettiest villages, has just entered the market
Set in the most idyllic location, the semi detached period property in Hilton Village has around 0.3 acres of private gardens, fronted by a small stream and bridge that leads to the Village Green.
It benefits from a separate detached studio/workshop in the garden. Plus, there’s a summerhouse, a fenced fruit and vegetable garden and a potting shed – ideal for the green-fingered among us.
Highlights of the four-bedroom cottage include an Inglenook fireplace, exposed timber beams and natural brick flooring which add a wealth of character.
On the ground floor, you’ll find a cloakroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom. On the split level first floor is a further four bedrooms, one with an ensuite, a family bathroom and dressing room.
With ample parking space and gravelled driveway, you can access Hilton Village Green via the small footbridge or driveway.
As for the area, Hilton is 11 miles northwest of Cambridge and once home of writer David Garnett and Angelica Bell who lived at Hilton Hall and were members of the Bloomsbury Group. The village green features a turf maze which was cut by William Sparrow in 1660. It’s one of just eight remaining turf mazes in England and has been laid in a similar style to the famous labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral. The main house of the Wilcox family in E.M. Forster’s 1910 novel Howards End was also set in Hilton.
The property is currently on the market for £775,000 with Cheffins.
