Walnut Tree Cottage is a stylish Grade II thatched property full of atmosphere nestling in the Conservation Area of Streetly End surrounded by similar properties. Close to the City of Cambridge, the cottage is easily accessible from the M11 and is a perfect location for a romantic weekend or enjoyable longer sightseeing break.

The cottage is surrounded by nearly an acre and a half of garden with trees and flowers and views of the surrounding fields and nearby wood. Ideal for fun and summer barbeques with a cosy wood burning stove for romantic snug winter evenings. Perfect for those looking for a romantic weekend. Or - perhaps you are more energetic looking to do some rambling over the numerous public footpaths or even cycling!

Plenty of parking space.

For the comfort of all our guests we have a no smoking and no pets policy.

We have recently installed wireless broadband which is accessible in both parts of the building.

A welcome pack of provisions can be provided by arrangement prior to arrival.

There is easy access to main roads and motorways to London and beyond. The main line rail service via Liverpool Street Station takes approximately 1 hour. 		 

Whatever your fancy, Walnut Tree Cottage as a whole is a self-catering cottage that can sleep up to 10 people. However, the accommodation can be split to provide independently secure accommodation for fewer guests. The main cottage, "Walnut", can sleep up to 6 whereas the annex, "Pickled Walnut", can sleep up to 4.

Accommodation

Walnut

Fully centrally heated, “Walnut” has a downstairs loo and offers comfort for up to six people. The spacious hallway with original tiles invites you through to the sitting room with television, wood buring stove and sofa bed. Backing southwards, the garden room provides easy access to the large garden with patio, BBQ, table and chairs and provides a view of the surrounding fields and Hare Wood.

The boot room is an ideal place for walking shoes after a ramble along the various local footpaths including the old Roman Road to Cambridge.

The farmhouse kitchen has a dresser and large pine table which seats six people comfortably. It is fully equipped with oven, hob, refrigerator and dishwasher.

Upstairs there are two comfortable double bedrooms with views of the gardens and a newly appointed bathroom.

In winter a complementary basket of logs is provided for the wood burner and additional logs can be purchased on site.

Pickled Walnut

Being solely on the ground floor, “Pickled Walnut” can be let independently with its own entrance. It comprises a double bedroom, sitting area (with sofa bed) with kitchenette, bathroom and its own small south backing patio area. Ideal for that romantic weekend away for two!
