College Farmhouse is a substantial former farmhouse situated on the edge of this popular well-connected village west of Cambridge. Grade II* listed, the property is believed to be one of the oldest properties in the village and is a former hall house dating from the 15th Century with later additions and alterations. The farm was owned by St Johns College, Cambridge for five centuries and benefits from a wealth of original period features and an extensive outbuilding.

Of timber framed construction with lime rendered painted elevations under a plain tiled roof, the house and outbuilding can be seen in greater detail in the attached floorplan. The house has well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors which extends to around 3104 sq ft and would benefit from a degree of modernisation but it retains that special period farmhouse feel with lots of space.

On the ground floor there are two large reception rooms, including a former parlour with exposed timbers and an impressive chamfered beam, two studies, an Aga kitchen / breakfast room, large utility/boot room, WC and a conservatory.

At first floor level, accessed via two staircases, there are three large bedrooms (the principal being en suite) and a bathroom. On the second floor is a further bedroom with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling. In addition to the house there is a separate barn with red brick and weather boarded elevations with a part stone part corrugated roof. This extensive building which measures approximately 1322 sq ft has in the past had planning permission to convert into ancillary accommodation and could with the correct permission gain similar consent.
