Earning Street, Godmanchester, PE29

Tudor residence in exceptional condition located in a sought-after riverside town.

Renowned as one of the oldest homes in Godmanchester, this beautifully presented Grade II* property boasts spacious accommodation with excellent ceiling heights and an abundance of period features. The home is filled with natural light through large windows and was completely renovated in the mid-90s, restoring this signature home to its former glory.

The ground floor features a generous sitting room with an open fireplace, doors leading to the garden, and original friezes. The equally spacious dining room also boasts a fireplace (both currently not in use but which could be opened up). Additionally, there is a well-fitted kitchen, cloakroom, and a rear hall with a brick floor.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with a large dressing room (and a useful storage room in the attic). Two of the bedrooms have oriel bay windows with leaded light glazing, showcasing the property's Tudor architecture. Both a shower room and a bathroom serve the bedrooms, including the fourth bedroom on the second floor.

Outside, gates open onto a gravel driveway providing ample parking and turning space. A patio at the rear of the house is ideal for outdoor living. A path flanked by lawns and mature shrub planting leads to a sandstone patio and an elegant garden room with a vaulted ceiling and full-height gable glazing. This wonderful and flexible space offers numerous uses and sits alongside a double tandem garage. There is an additional lawn at the back of the garden, perfect for a kitchen garden or children's play area.

Seller Insight
“Tudor Farm has been my family’s cherished family home since 1995. Before my family acquired the property, it was in a state of disrepair, stripped of its charm and left to deteriorate. However, a dedicated charity undertook the restoration, using traditional materials to preserve its historical integrity. My family bought it as a shell and thoughtfully modernised it, bringing new life to this historic house. My father meticulously designed the garden and commissioned a garage and beautiful garden room.”

“Our family relocated from London due to work and immediately fell in love with Tudor Farm. My brother even purchased the property at the back. The house is rich in local history, with original wall paintings in the sitting room dating back to the 1600s.”

“A particular favourite among us is the room situated within the roof space, which exudes a cosy and inviting ambiance that everyone in the family adores. A lovely unique feature is the traditional milkmaid door in the hallway which always sparks conversation.”

“Tudor Farm is not just a house but a home filled with warmth and happiness. My mother, a teacher at the time, often brought her students here to draw and learn about the Tudors, making our home a living classroom. It is also a stop on a walking tour, where people admire its historical features.”
