Full property description

A charming and characterful cottage set within an attractive courtyard, offering two double bedrooms, a refitted kitchen, and a modern shower room. The property occupies an idyllic position next to Holy Trinity Church, in the centre of this sought-after and well-served village.

Steeped in history, the picturesque village of Bottisham is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and boasts a wealth of charm, from its striking 13th-century Holy Trinity Church to the historic 16th and 17th-century buildings lining the High Street. Today, it is highly regarded as one of the most popular and well-served villages in the area, offering excellent everyday amenities including a general store, Post Office, public house, restaurants and a doctors' surgery.

Educational facilities are a major draw for families. The village features a popular local primary school and the well regarded Bottisham Village College. Opened in 1937 as the second of Henry Morris’s pioneering Cambridgeshire village colleges, the secondary school recently converted to an Academy in 2011 and features a superb sports and swimming pool complex open to the general public, serving as a vibrant focal point for the community. For those seeking independent education, a full range of renowned schools is available in nearby Cambridge, including The Leys, The Perse, St Faith's, St Mary's, and the Stephen Perse Foundation.

Ideally situated for the commuter, Bottisham offers a perfect balance of rural living and superb connectivity. The high-tech university city of Cambridge lies just 7 miles to the west, while the world-famous racing town of Newmarket is only 6 miles to the east. The village is perfectly placed for access to the A14, providing swift road links to the A11 and M11 for onward travel to London, the M25, and Stansted Airport. Mainline rail connections are highly accessible via Cambridge Station (7.5 miles) or Cambridge North (7 miles), both offering regular services into London Kings Cross and Liverpool Street from around 50 minutes.
