Frog End, Shepreth, Royston, SG8

Nestled in the picturesque village of Shepreth, Plum Cottage is a truly enchanting three-bedroom detached thatched cottage that effortlessly blends period charm with modern luxury. Beautifully restored by the current owners, this unique home is offered to the market with no onward chain.

A quaint bridge over the front garden leads you beneath the elegant thatched roof into a home rich in character. Inside, you’ll find a wealth of period features including exposed brickwork, original timber beams, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout.

The ground floor boasts two generous reception rooms, ideal for entertaining or relaxing by the fire, while the recently installed kitchen combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. The stylish bathrooms have been renovated to an equally high standard, offering a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication.

Adjacent to the main house, the former garage has been cleverly converted to provide a versatile additional reception room or fourth bedroom, complete with a spacious and modern shower room—perfect for guests, a home office, or independent living space.

To the rear, the private and expansive garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature planting, offering a tranquil retreat. A selection of timber outbuildings add flexibility, suitable for use as a home office, gym, or potential annexe (subject to any necessary permissions).

A gravel driveway to the front provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, enhancing the property's practicality.

Rich in charm, thoughtfully updated, and ready to move into, Plum Cottage is a rare find in a sought-after village setting.

Viewing is highly recommended.
