Description

Charming 19th-Century Cottage with Character, History & Modern Comforts – No Onward Chain

Nestled in a highly desirable location, this charming end-of-terrace home is steeped in rich local history while offering the convenience of modern living. Believed to date back to the early 1800s, this two-bedroom property forms part of a pair of cottages (Middle Cottage and Far Cottage), once belonging to The Close – an impressive period residence originally built by the Cotton family in 1805 to replace the old rectory.

This character-filled home enjoys excellent transport links to the A14 and M11, and is offered with no onward chain, ensuring a smooth transition for its new owners. Gas central heating is provided throughout, and with an EPC Rating of D, the home balances comfort with efficiency.

The bay-fronted lounge exudes warmth and charm, featuring an electric fire that creates a welcoming ambiance. The layout upstairs is both practical and comfortable, with a well-placed shower room serving the two bedrooms.

The property sits on a generous plot with off-street parking, a garage, and a large rear garden. There is also scope to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents, offering the chance to truly make the home your own.

The historical significance of this cottage adds a unique dimension. Once part of the grounds of The Close—a grand Georgian home developed by Alexander Cotton in the late 1820s—it shares in the legacy of a key piece of Girton’s architectural and social heritage. Anne Maria Cotton, the last of the Cotton family to live at The Close, was a notable local figure who built the Glebe School in 1844 and was a strong supporter of Girton Church.

This is a rare opportunity to own a slice of local history with all the modern benefits of a comfortable, well-connected home.

The village is home to Girton College, which was the first women’s college in Cambridge. There is an 18-hole golf course on the edge of the village with around 270 members that field ladies, men, junior and mixed teams against other clubs as well as internal competitions.

Girton has a primary school and an independent special school which caters for primary, secondary and further education. Secondary schooling is also provided by Impington Village College, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. 

Local amenities include a care home, co-op, doctor’s surgery, petrol station and a farm shop. The Old Crown pub claims to be the largest thatched pub in the country and has three dining areas, including a garden overlooking the countryside. There is also the George pub which has a Thai restaurant and takeaway.
