Nestled within the picturesque village of Wicken, this enchanting thatched cottage is brimming with charm and character, offering a rare opportunity to own a truly unique home. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by beautiful exposed beams, cosy living spaces, and an abundance of warmth and personality throughout.
The spacious living room is the heart of the home, complete with a feature fireplace that creates a wonderful focal point for family gatherings. The modern fitted kitchen and dining room provide a perfect blend of character and contemporary living, while an additional snug offers another versatile reception area.
Downstairs also boasts a generous main bedroom, a well-appointed bathroom, a convenient W/C, and a utility room. Two separate staircases add to the individuality of this home – one leading to a generously sized bedroom, and the other to a charming mezzanine level that would make an ideal study or dressing room, with a further bedroom accessed beyond.
Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway and enjoys a large garden to the front, creating a picturesque setting in keeping with the cottage’s character. To the rear, additional outdoor space offers plenty of potential for enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The location is every bit as special as the cottage itself. Wicken is one of Cambridgeshire’s oldest and most picturesque villages, famed for its thatched cottages, pretty lanes, and the stunning Wicken Fen Nature Reserve. With beautiful walks, wildlife, and wide open skies on your doorstep, it is a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a slower pace of life. Despite its tranquil feel, Wicken also offers a welcoming community with a village pub, and local events, while the historic city of Ely and the vibrant city of Cambridge are both within easy reach, providing excellent shopping, dining, and transport links.
Early viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
