A barn conversion set within the historic grounds of a Grade II* Listed hall, this cottage sits close to the River Great Ouse with peaceful water views and meadowland nature walks right from the door.

About Cambridgeshire
Awash with tradition and history, it's easy to believe that this region revolves around scholarly Cambridge and its namesake university. But, while the ancient colleges, gothic chapels, and cobbled avenues lined with shops and cosy cafes are well worth visiting, this vibrant centre of academia is not all Cambridgeshire has to offer.
