Grade II listed village house with annexe and extensive useful outbuildings.DescriptionChalk Farmhouse is a substantial former farmhouse situated in the centre of this popular well connected village just south of Cambridge. Grade II listed, the property is believed to date from the 16th Century with later additions and alterations and it includes extensive outbuildings. Of timber framed construction with lime rendered painted elevations under a plain tiled roof, the house has undergone some renovation works during the current owner’s tenure (of around 10 years) including replacement of the render to two elevations with new chestnut lathes and the insertion of sheep’s wool insulation.The house has well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors which extends to around 4557 sq ft and would benefit from a degree of modernisation but it retains that special period farmhouse feel with lots of character and space. On the ground floor there are three large reception rooms, a study, a farmhouse kitchen, large utility/boot room and a small garden room. Beneath part of the ground floor are reasonably large cellars which may have further potential (subject to appropriate permissions and Listed Building consent). At first floor level - accessed via two staircases - there are 7 bedrooms and two bath or shower rooms (one refitted in recent times).In addition to the house there is a separate converted former granary which is currently let but has provided useful income from letting on Holiday Lettings (Trip Advisor). This is a first floor conversion with an open plan kitchen/living room/bedroom and a shower room.The accommodation is shown in greater detail in the attached floor plans.OutsideThe property is approached from the street via the entrance to The George public house and a shared drive (shown shaded blue on the siteplan) passing adjacent to a weatherboarded barn leads into a large shingled courtyard.The Granary is to the left, accessed via a short flight of stairs, and straight ahead is a long single storey range of brick slated outbuildings divided into 7 stores which may offer potential for conversion (subject to any necessary consents). Please note these were reroofed in 2012. On the other side of the courtyard is a horse-shoe shaped range of brick and flint buildings currently converted to office use and let as two units. These spaces could be used by the owner of Chalk Farmhouse or alternatively, continue to be let out as a potential source of income. The layouts of the buildings are also shown in the attached floor plans.To either side of the farmhouse are areas of garden, laid to lawn with mature trees and sheltered from the road by extensive planting.In all 0.58 of an acreLocationBabraham is a sought-after small, pretty village 4.1 miles south east of the Cambridge city boundary.

Mines Park offers a rare opportunity to acquire an incredible plot of approximately 100 acres, with planning permission for an outstanding contemporary manor house and staff cottages, designed by Tom Emerson of 6A Architects. It is located just eight miles south-east of Cambridge in a rural, lake-side location surrounded by rolling arable fields and ancient woodland.The design proposes a main structure of over 12,000 sq ft, with a further 2,900 sq ft of staff cottages, in a form that echoes and reinterprets the traditional 18th-century timber-framed manor house. Sustainability is at the heart of the project, employing an exposed-oak structure in-filled with hempcrete for a lower carbon footprint.The main house is set over four levels and surrounded by a terrace at ground level. Internally, the plan is largely open and therefore highly flexible, with a double-height drawing room at one end, and kitchen, pantry and dining areas at the other.Seven bedrooms are set over the upper levels, including a double-height master bedroom, all cleverly interspersed with terraces on the first floor and external courtyards on the second.A swimming pool, spa and gym occupy the lower-ground level, along with staff quarters and underground parking for three cars.The two staff cottages, 1,500 sq ft and 1,400 sq ft, will offer a low profile next to a wooded area, capped by the contemporary aesthetic of a concrete roof. They are arranged across a central courtyard and linked by sheltered parking bays.A natural meadow falls to the lake where there will be an orchard and a walled growing garden containing a greenhouse and a family garden. A new woodland is intended to provide around 50 acres of sustainable fuel for the house and a system has been devised for water re-use. Involving reed-bed filtration into a clean-water lake.Mines Park is set in beautiful rural seclusion between Weston Green and West Wratting. The city of Cambridge and its broad selection of shops and restaurants is easily reachable. Cambridge train station is approximately 20 minutes by car, with direct routes to London King’s Cross in a journey time of around 50 minutes.
