About this property
Description
A unique opportunity to acquire an enchanting Grade II listed village house of immense charm and character, which is attached to a larger Grade II listed, former farmhouse in a delightful position in the heart of this highly sought-after South-Cambridgeshire village.
King's Yard is an intriguing and charismatic period home and originally formed part of the attached house, known as King's Farm. The property has been sympathetically improved in more recent times, and retains its own rather special and unique ambience, together with a wealth of character features. The versatile and well-proportioned accommodation retains many fine features, including high ceilings to the principal bedrooms, attractive fireplaces, and exposed timbers.
