In all 1.27 acres Savills Cambridge Unex House, 132-134 Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 8PA Contact: James Barnett BA (Hons) MRICS [email protected] 01223 347 147 www.savills.co.uk Situation Rectory Farm is set behind the historic All Saints Parish Church in the north-eastern corner of the popular and attractive South Cambridgeshire village of Barrington. Well known for having the largest village green in England, the village has good facilities including a shop/post office, football and cricket pitches, a popular pub/restaurant and a primary school. Secondary schooling is available at Melbourn Village College and there is also a wide selection of independent schooling available in Cambridge. Further amenities are in Melbourn (4 miles), Harston (3.3 miles) and the market town of Royston, 7 miles to the south-west. More comprehensive shopping, recreational and cultural facilities are available in the high tech university city of Cambridge which is 8 miles to the north east. For the commuter there are mainline rail links to Cambridge and London King’s Cross from local stations at either Shepreth (1.8 miles) and Foxton (2 miles) to the south and direct services from Royston into London King’s Cross (from 38 minutes). The M11 Duxford Interchange is 7.4 miles with access to London and the North via the A14 and A1 and the east coast ports via the A14. Description Rectory Farm has origins dating back to the 15th Century, the core of the house being a timber framed central former open hall. The early house was added to in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries with other changes in more modern times. The main facade to the south, dating from 1772, has a classic Georgian red brick symmetrical elevation with double hung sash windows and three dormers set into a clay tiled roof. Although distinctly different, each section of the house joins together to form a comfortable and characterful family house. The Georgian proportions within the southern part of the house include a fine partly panelled sitting room and family room, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and two loft rooms above. The central vaulted reception room, within the early core, is a superb light and airy vaulted drawing room with an open fireplace and two sets of deep sash windows giving a fine outlook overlooking the adjacent church. Beyond, there is a large family kitchen with four oven Aga and adjacent dining/sitting area with French doors leading out into the garden. The kitchen also leads to a rear hall with pantry, utility and access to the double garage. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom above the kitchen/dining room with link to the front of the house via “bridge” spanning the double height drawing room. The accommodation extends to around 3,300 sq ft in all excluding the integral double garage. Pre-application plans The vendors have submitted a pre-application to the local authority for a variety of changes to the house and conversion of the outbuildings. The changes within the house include making the attic rooms more accessible with the insertion of a newly positioned staircase, the addition of a master bedroom suite over the attached garage and the creation of a larger entrance hall and grand staircase with glassed walkway linking either end of house. In addition, further alterations to the outbuildings include conversion of the two storey barn into an annexe and the creation of an indoor swimming pool within the double sided open bay building. The indicative plans are available in a pdf document. The Local Authority Planning and Conservation Departments were broadly supportive and it is felt that this pre-application will help to pave the way to a full detailed application should an eventual purchaser wish to pursue this. The pre-application result has demonstrated where there may be potential (if required) and it may be that a buyer could pursue some, but not all of the options. The Planning Consultant used by the vendor may be contacted to discuss any options further. Outside Approached down a private shingled drive, the house is positioned at the western side of the site. The drive passes the Georgian elevation and proceeds around into a large shingled parking area. To the east of the house are the traditional farm buildings which surround a grassed courtyard on three sides. The outbuildings comprise: A two storey weatherboarded barn 30’ x 16’ (9.14m x 4.88m) attached to the end of which is a single storey former cow shed building with gardener’s w.c., store room 15’ x 10’2” (4.57m x 3.1m) and cow shed 29’ x 15’ (8.84m x 4.57m). To the middle of the site there is a long brick open bay cart lodge to either side of a central brick spine wall under a slated roof 63’ x 27’ (19.2m x 8.23m) To the far end is a further cart lodge 48’ x 15’ (14.63m x 4.57m) with hay racks and manger , a store room 15’ x 8’ (4.57m x 2.44m) with a brick workshop 32’ x 15’ (9.75m x 4.57m) with power and light laid on. Much of the delightful formal gardens are to the north of the house and outbuildings and there is a belt of trees along the northern boundary. There is also an ornamental pond within a gated section of garden that is situated behind the outbuildings and this includes an arched iron “Monet” style bridge with weeping willow and there are various other trees surrounding. A level lawn area with further trees is situated to the south of the pond enclosed by hedged boundaries. In all 1.27 acres Directions From Cambridge: Barrington can be entered either from Haslingfield to the north or Foxton to the south east.

  • Community Governance Review of Haslingfield Parish
    Community Governance Review of Haslingfield Parish Terms of Reference www.scambs.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 South Cambridgeshire District Council has resolved to undertake a Community Governance Review of the parish of Haslingfield. 1.2 This review is to address the population growth in respect of the new housing development at Trumpington Meadows: to consider whether the creation or alteration (and thus naming) of existing parish boundaries and any consequent changes to the electoral arrangements for the parish(es) should be recommended. 1.3 In undertaking this review the Council has considered the Guidance on Community Governance Reviews issued by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, published in April 2008, which reflects Part 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in HealthAct 2007 and the relevant parts of the Local Government Act 1972, Guidance on Community Governance Reviews issued in accordance with section 100(4) of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 by the Department of Communities and Local Government and the Local Government Boundary Commission for England in March 2010, and the following regulations which guide, in particular, consequential matters arising from the Review: Local Government (Parishes and Parish Councils) (England) Regulations 2008 (SI2008/626). (The 2007 Act transferred powers to the principal councils which previously, under the Local Government Act 1997, had been shared with the Electoral Commission’s Boundary Committee for England.) 1.4 These Terms of Reference will set out clearly the matters on which the Community Governance Review is to focus. We will publish this document on our website and also in hard copy.

  • East West Rail Update Oct
    East West Rail Update, October 6th 2020 On October 1st Harlton Parish Council attended a Zoom meeting with other parish councils (Toft to Great Shelford) to discuss comments on the alternative route alignments proposed in Route E by Cambridge Approaches (formally known as East West Rail Cambridge Approaches Action Group). There was also a vote on each alignment looking at the route as a whole, not just a parish-centric view using local information and the impact assessment charts (looking at proximity to property, noise, air pollution, visual impact, ecological impact, archaeological impact, roads and footpaths crossed) formulated by David Revell (chair of Cambridge Approaches). Below is Harlton Parish Council’s response to the alternatives, plus a map of the alignments. We support Route 6 (see separate map with grey route) primarily, as this sites the railway station north of Cambourne - supported by Cambourne village and Anthony Browne. Within Route E, we support Routes 1 and 1A. Of the parish councils that voted last night (seven), Route 6 came out as the most favourable option, followed by 1A and 1. Routes 3 and 5 were the least favourable. Cambridge Approaches EWR's 'Option E' Boundary 26 Sept 2020 Extension to Trumpington Park & Ride Industrial effluent disposal plant MRAO exclusion zone Tu n n e ls All alternative corridors shown are indicative of the general route EWR may take in this area and should not be taken as being definitive of the limits of an alignment.

  • South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward Report to Haslingfield Parish Council July 2021
    South Cambridgeshire District Council – Harston & Comberton Ward Report to Haslingfield Parish Council July 2021 Covid Update Rates of Covid-19 in Cambridgeshire have risen sharply and they continue to rise. At the time of writing, there are 92 cases per 100,000 across Cambridgeshire, which is an 85 increase on last week. There is particular concern about the rising rates of Covid-19 in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire. Again at the time of writing, there are 216 cases per 100,000 in Cambridge and 101 cases in South Cambridgeshire, with most cases being seen in 18 to 30-year-olds. Hospital admissions remain fairly low and there has been one death in the past month. What we are seeing in parts of Cambridgeshire is very similar to the rest of the country, in that the Delta variant, which we know to be much easier to pass on, is accounting for the rise in cases of Covid-19. There is a big push to promote testing amongst the 18-30 year olds, including people without symptoms, as you are no doubt aware the virus can spread without any symptoms showing. Alongside testing there is a race against time to ensure as many people as possible take up their first and second doses of vaccine before restrictions are lifted on the 19th July. The lifting of restrictions could further fuel the spread of the virus, exposing people at high risk, to infection. Cambridge South-West Travel Hub We understand the plans for the Cambridge South West Travel Hub go before the County Council Planning Committee on 29th July.

PUBLIC QUESTIONS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND DISCUSSION AT FUTURE MEETINGS (PARISH COUNCIL) 2.1 Housing Needs Survey -Presentation Mark Dees (Cambridgeshire ACRE) The Chairman invited Mr Dees to update attendees on the recent Housing Needs Survey. He introduced himself stating that the last survey had taken place in 2013 and there were various issues at the time and a site was not agreed. A new site had now been identified in the village and Cambridgeshire Housing Society wanted to take the project forward to provide affordable housing for local people. Mr Dees advised on other sites in the District where 350 affordable homes had been built in the past seven years. Newton was a relatively small village with around 170 homes. It was designated a rural area, and infill only village, so any affordable homes would be protected in perpetuity. He added that priority would be given to people from the community. Mr Dees then reported on the process for the survey adding that there had been a 35% return rate which he felt was good.
