We would like to welcome you to our home. Once a working farm, we have lovingly restored the Victorian granary and outbuildings into four unique spaces for two with their own character and special features, surrounded by five acres and a large natural swimming pond and wood fired sauna. The land has been rewilded to a certain extent but needs management and seasonal clearing and tidying. If being outside and amongst nature appeals then this could be the perfect place for you. Our guests love that they can relax in their own comfortable, calm space surrounded by nature, with us on hand without ever being intrusive. Most come here to relax and unwind from all responsibilities, sometimes never leaving the premises, though a potter in Cambridge is highly recommended!

We are looking to clear our wooded area and create a path around the property. It has become overgrown with brambles and nettles and we are making progress but could use some help! There are always lots of gardening jobs but not requiring knowledge of plants, just clearing! There is also some painting/decorating to do too.

We are located in a small peaceful village 5 miles from Cambridge with a good cycle route into the city and occasional buses. There's lots of walks from the door, a pub in the village and a supermarket within walking distance. Cambridge is a beautiful city seeped in history, just an hour from london on the train. The surrounding countryside offers many activities and great weather.
