About this property
Impressive Grade II Listed, thatched residence with generous mature gardens The Cheese House is a striking four-bedroom, thatched Tudor long house, standing proudly in a prominent position overlooking the village green in the well-served village of Cottenham and embodies English heritage while offering a practical family layout in a thriving village with excellent connections to Cambridge. Originally built around 1450 as a Great Barn, the property was converted to a dwelling a century later and extensively modernised in 1642 with the addition of two impressive back-to-back inglenook fireplaces. Its name derives from the Cheese Press that once stood in the kitchen, which remained until the mid-20th century.
