College Farmhouse is a breathtaking Grade II listed house, believed to date originally to circa 1513, with multiple extensions carried out over time, to include an outstanding converted granary and tithe barn area to the rear of the property. Believed to be a guild hall or woolhall originally with later usage as a granary and converted to a farmhouse in the 16th century. Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge owned the property from 1654 to 1825, according to Historic England, where there are several references to the building in their archives. The property retains many historic structural features e.g. mullion windows, crown-post roof, exposed jetty giving on to churchyard and a large fireplace. Renovated in part in late 19th century with contemporary, Victorian remodelling with further renovative work being carried out in 1975-78. The current owners arranged the renovation and re-purposing of the barns to a gym and games rooms forming the west wing in 2009-2011. The property is in wonderful condition throughout and offers prospective purchasers a unique opportunity to purchase a property in the centre of the village, with substantial historical value.
