High quality barn conversion near Cambridge to enjoy countryside & city

Located 8 miles west of Cambridge, in the Cambridgeshire village of Bourn, The Bull Pen is a high quality build designed to keep a feel for its history and location. It is a comfortable and peaceful place with open space indoors and outside for friends and families to enjoy. All the rooms look across traditional pasture with mature oak and ash trees, hedgerow and then arable fields beyond. It is ideal for a holiday combining 'time in' the city and 'time-out' of the city! Traveling into Cambridge is easy; there is a Park&Ride bus station just 10 minutes drive away.

The main kitchen/dinning/living area - Open plan with floor-to-ceiling windows and a vaulted ceiling with steel beams. The new kitchen is well equipped and has a large oven/grill, electric hob, microwave and fridge. There is a comfortable dining area and lounge area for up to 6 adults with Smart TV. For warmer days there are French Doors leading to a patio and a garden snug area to enjoy the outdoor space and BBQ. And for cooler winter days, The Bull Pen is cosy with constant thermostatic underfloor heating and large triple glazed windows so you can still enjoy the view of grass, trees and big sky.

Snug room with Smart TV and sofa - This room is also where the laundry facilities are: washing machine, tumble dryer and drying area.
The Snug room has a double sofa bed and blackout curtains so could also be used as an additional bedroom for one extra guest to sleep and would be sharing the shower room with guests in bedroom 3 (extra bedding cost per stay £40).
The snug room is also suitable for a travel cot ( extra cost per stay £10).

Bedroom 1 (first floor) with ensuite: a spiral staircase leads to the master bedroom with a kingsize bed with large velux windows to watch the night sky. There is also a Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom (with shower in bath) N.B this room is similar to a mezzanine, there is no door between the hall and bedroom but it is private.
A single folding bed suitable for a child can be added in this room on request (extra charge per stay £40)

Bedroom 2 (ground floor) with ensuite wet room- super kingsize double bed/or twin 3ft single beds (adjustable electric & massage), vaulted ceiling with fan and en-suite wet room.

Bedroom 3 - (ground floor) also a twin or double; two single beds will link/zip together to make a king size double. A compact room but with a very comfortable bed, and has an ensuite shower room and a private adjoining Snug room with sofa & Smart T.V.
