The Accommodation
4 Pear Tree Cottages is a house with a story. Built in 1865 by Samuel Condor, a local builder also responsible for the village bridge, the property began life as two cottages for the Cambridge and Pampisford Brewery. Later serving as farmhouses and eventually converted into one residence in the 1970s. Inside, the home is filled with character and warmth. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a reception area with exposed timbers and wooden flooring. The formal living room centres around a cast iron Danish Heta multifuel log burner, framed by a brick surround and oak mantel, and opens into the light-filled conservatory, which in turn flows into the garden. The dining room, with its original tiled floor and exposed beams, makes a wonderfully atmospheric space for family meals and entertaining, while the handmade kitchen, complete with oak surfaces, butler sink and traditional tiled floor, blends the feel of a farmhouse with the practicality of modern day-to-day living. A utility room, cloakroom and modern shower room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged off the landing, with the master bedroom to the front and a second bedroom enjoying far-reaching views across open farmland. The recently refitted family bathroom is a particular highlight, featuring a classic rolltop bath on cast feet, separate shower and elegant tiling.
Outside
Outside, the cottage is approached by a gravel driveway and wooden five-bar gate, with parking for two vehicles and access to the garage. The front garden is principally laid to lawn with raised vegetable beds, while to the rear the recently landscaped garden offers a private and secluded retreat. Lawned areas, paved terraces, raised beds and a barbecue area create a setting that is as well suited to quiet moments of relaxation as it is to outdoor gatherings with family and friends.
