Description
A wonderful Grade II listed three bedroom barn conversion, sitting on a 0.34 acre plot in this picturesque village location, to the south of Cambridge.
Cambridge 13 miles, M11 (Junction 10) 5 miles, Saffron Walden 8 miles, Royston (King's Cross 37 minutes) 6 miles, Audley End Station (Liverpool Street 51 minutes) 7 miles, Stansted Airport 26 miles (distances and times are approximate).
The Thatched Barn is a lovely Grade II listed barn conversion built with weatherboard timber frame under thatched roofs. Believed to date to 15th century with later additions and formally a granary, the property has been converted into a wonderful family home, retaining many of the features of the original building, including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, inglenook fireplace, galleried entrance hall and having had a rethatch within the last 10 years. The property is arranged over to floors with versatile accommodation suitable for a variety of family needs.
Heydon is a small, attractive and unspoilt village lying in south Cambridgeshire, close to the Hertfordshire and Essex borders. The village lies within a Conservation Area and has a 15th century church, public house and a 18 hole golf course about 1 mile north. The market towns of Saffron Walden and Royston lie 8 miles to the east and 6 miles to the west respectively, providing a range of facilities including a variety of shops and restaurants. The University city of Cambridge is about 13 miles north and offers extensive cultural and shopping facilities together with an outstanding choice of schools for all ages.
London commuters are particularly well served by road or rail with services into Liverpool Street from Audley End (51 minutes) and Royston to King's Cross (37 minutes). The M11 (Junction 10) is 5 miles away, giving fast access to Stansted Airport and London.
