High Street, Croxton, St. Neots, Cambridgeshire, PE19

Rose Cottage is a beautifully presented detached property built in the late 17th century. It exudes a wealth of traditional character, with its quintessential long straw thatched roof, plastered timber framed elevations with contrasting red windows and doors and exposed internal beamwork.

A light-filled reception hall opens into the attractive dining room and adjacent drawing room, divided via a central fireplace and inset log-burning stove with stone hearth. From here is a separate potential study space and from the vaulted drawing room, French doors open into the peaceful terrace. Further is the bright and stylish kitchen comprising a range of chic bespoke curved cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces and a variety of integrated appliances including a 5-burner gas hob. The space flows naturally into the peaceful breakfast room and further utility. Completing the floor is a luxury family bathroom with a chic freestanding bathtub and separate walk-in shower.

A pair of turned stairways rise to the split first-floor level, which houses the larger principal suite alongside a contemporary shower room and two further well-proportioned bedrooms with peaceful garden views.

The property is located within a Conservation Area and on a no through road leading to Croxton Park, with its designated historic Grade II parkland and organic livestock farm surrounding the village.

The historic university city of Cambridge is just a short distance away, whilst St. Neots station offers speedy London rail links. Convenient road connections are available via the A1 and A14 to the M11 and M1 motorways.

The property also benefits from a sizeable and carefully landscaped private wrap-around plot with picturesque views of adjacent pastural fields, approached via a generous gravelled driveway. The adaptable two-storey annexe has a sleek fitted kitchenette with built-in appliances, alongside a living area and a modern shower room. A stairway rises to the first-floor study or potential bedroom. The pretty garden is divided into neat sections, with a formally arranged front garden and several sections of level lawn, a wealth of considered and manicured shrubbery, trees and a large tranquil pond. There are charming paved and gravelled terraces enjoyed by both buildings and a wealth of mature and colourful varied planting and beds throughout.
