High Street, Huntingdon, PE28

Set opposite the village green with three mature oak trees providing a green outlook, this home offers characterful accommodation in excess of 3,500 square feet, plus garaging and outbuildings.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall sets the tone with character features, including exposed beams and a quarry tile floor. Bifold doors and full-height glazing open onto the south-facing garden, bathing the open-plan kitchen and dining room with light. The space combines the best of period and modern living and is ideal for entertaining and a busy family. A cloakroom space near the back door provides ample storage for coats and wellies after enjoying nearby countryside walks. A cosy snug provides the perfect spot on a winter’s evening and leads to the sitting room.

The generous sitting room is particularly special, converted from a barn by the current owners, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, large windows overlooking the garden, and a brick fireplace with a timber mantelpiece and wood-burning stove. Two additional reception rooms with wood-burning stoves are utilized as a study and family room, providing flexibility for changing requirements. A utility room and shower room offer practicality and complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite transports the occupants to a boutique hotel. The vaulted bedroom boasts bifold windows overlooking the gardens and exposed beams. A dressing room and en-suite complement the luxurious feel. The further five double bedrooms are well served by a family bathroom. Should a further en-suite be desired, bedroom two has ample space and backs onto the principal en-suite, allowing for easy installation.

Outside, the rear garden is a private oasis. A large flagstone patio off the kitchen and living room is great for al fresco dining. The garden continues to an expanse of lawn with a selection of mature specimen trees and plants. At the bottom of the garden, raised beds and a greenhouse offer an opportunity to “grow your own,” and a barked area is perfect for a trampoline and children’s play equipment. Ample parking and storage are provided by a driveway, double garage, workshop, and store.

Two self-contained annexes are currently rented but offer numerous potential uses, making them a standout feature. These versatile buildings can be combined into one large annexe, perfect for multi-generational living, ensuring both privacy and togetherness for families. Alternatively, keep them as two rented properties to generate additional income. For those seeking lifestyle enhancements, the annexes can be transformed into a gym, leisure suite, or home office, offering a private space for fitness, relaxation, or productivity. The dual annexes provide unmatched flexibility and functionality, making them a key selling feature of this unique property.

There are also lots of local footpaths for walking the dogs, and Grafham Water for sporting activities is just a short cycle away.’

‘The house has supported our love of socialising, and we have hosted family events, easily seating up to sixteen with room for fourteen people to sleep comfortably.’
