Description:
While the property would benefit from updating, it represents an excellent project opportunity, offering impressive square footage in one of South Cambridgeshire’s most desirable villages. Tucked away along a peaceful road and only a short walk from local amenities, it enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting.
The flexible layout offers a generous reception hall leading into a large sitting/dining room featuring an impressive fireplace and patio doors to the garden. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room provides extensive cabinetry, ample work surfaces, a double sink, induction hob, double oven, extractor, and space for appliances, opening into a sizeable dining area. A utility room and cloakroom/WC sit just beyond.
Across the property are multiple reception rooms, ideal for creating distinct living areas, home offices, or hobby rooms. Several well-proportioned double bedrooms, additional study/bedroom spaces, and multiple bathrooms ensure excellent versatility for a range of lifestyles and family needs.
This adaptability is what makes the property so exciting. Just as it has been tailored over the years to suit the needs of its previous owners, it now offers the next owner the opportunity to re-imagine and shape it into their perfect family home. With its exceptional footprint, scope for reconfiguration, and peaceful village setting, this is a property that could evolve beautifully over time and serve as a long-term home in one of the area’s most charming communities.
Outside:
A driveway provides parking for at least three cars and leads to a double garage with power and light. The gardens extend to around 0.25 acres and include generous lawns, a large paved patio, a fishpond, a bespoke workshop/barn, and further brick-built storage. The entire plot is enclosed, offering privacy and a lovely sense of seclusion.
Location:
Thriplow is a highly sought-after village located approximately 8 miles south of Cambridge. It offers an excellent range of local amenities including a Parish Church, a highly-regarded Church of England primary school and access to leading private schools (The Leys, St Faiths, The Perse and St Johns) are all close by. A village shop, village hall, a community-owned pub, and an active cricket club also serve the village. Secondary schooling is available in nearby Sawston or Melbourn, and the renowned Duxford Imperial War Museum is also close by.
The village is ideally placed for access to Cambridge, with strong road links and regular local bus services. Mainline railway stations at Whittlesford Parkway (to Liverpool Street) and Royston (to King’s Cross/St Pancras) provide convenient routes into London and beyond.

The next steps...
1
Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
