A rare opportunity to purchase a Grade II listed farmhouse on the edge of the popular Cambridgeshire village of Bourn.
The detached house has a pitched tiled roof with timber frame and rendered elevations, and is in need of complete repair and refurbishment, but comes with benefit of approved plans to re-order the accommodation (South Cambridgeshire DC planning ref: 24/00414/FUL), therefore presenting a wonderful opportunity to owner occupiers and developer buyers alike.

The gross internal floor area of the property is approximately 239 sqm (2566 sqft).
Outside: The property benefits from a lawned area to the left hand side of the accommodation which is accessed via the Conservatory, and also from the rear of the building. The garden and rear of the property benefits from views of a large neighbouring pond which abuts the rear boundary.
As part of redevelopment works that are taking place to the rear of Great Common Farmhouse, the subject property will benefit from a newly constructed carport, which will be accessed via a shared driveway to the right hand side of the dwelling, along with a doorway from the carport into the rear courtyard area of Great Common Farmhouse.
