Parts of the property were originally constructed in the 16th century, with subsequent additions in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Farmhouse (which does require significant internal refurbishment) is located within a self-contained courtyard adjacent to the original farmyard and a high calibre and sensitively renovated collection of residential barn conversions.

Situation & Access Lordship Farmhouse is located to the northern end of the popular village of Hinxton and close to the River Cam. The property is accessed by two driveways, the principal access being through the original farmstead and a secondary approach to the west of the Farmhouse which has not been utilised by vehicles for some time.

Hinxton itself is set off the A1301, and is a quiet village located with very easy connections to a number of important transport links which provide very quick access to the M11, A11 and A505.

Lordship Farmhouse Formerly known as Hinxton Manor, the Grade II Listed Lordship Farmhouse has all the makings of a fantastic family home and forms the focal point of the Property. The original outbuildings that sit within the curtilage of the site such as the Dairy, Forge and Bunk House still remain and are also Grade II Listed in their own right. The rooms are all well- proportioned, with a large kitchen and two large reception rooms as well as five bedrooms on the first floor. Conceptual architect’s plans have been prepared to illustrate how the property could be potentially renovated – please see the Data Room for further details. The Farmhouse is timber framed and plastered, with flint casting and painted brick plinth under a tile and slate roof. It consists of a long two-storey north-south range incorporating an early 16th century jetted cross wing with hipped gable roof and the original gable bargeboards. A 19th century cross wing and gabled porch forms the main entrance to the west of the house. The windows are of varying sizes but in the main are of the same style with glazing bars. Internally there are exposed timbers and ceiling beams. (Please refer to floorplans for dimensions of the interior).

Ground Floor On entering through the front porch, there is a Front Entrance Hall with a parquet floor and a staircase leading to the landing and doors opening onto the two reception rooms. The Sitting Room features a centred fireplace and wooden beams with sash windows enjoying views over the surrounding gardens including French doors opening to the south. The Dining Room leads off the front entrance hall with further doors to the back entrance lobby and kitchen. At each end of the room are windows including a set of French doors opening to the west. There is a large centred fireplace. The Kitchen also has a large fireplace which previously contained a range, wooden beams and a wooden staircase leading to the third landing. The kitchen is also accessed by the back entrance lobby as well as leading off into various stores, pantries and a freezer room providing scope for expansion into a large family room.

First Floor The main staircase leads to the landing with steps leading up to Bedroom 1 and a door and steps down to the second landing. Bedroom 1 has a large fireplace and cupboard and potential for an ensuite. This thoroughfare landing opens onto Bedroom 2, Bathroom 1 and a separate WC.
