The Range, Abbotsley, PE19

Completed in 2021, this beautifully presented eco-home perfectly blends environmental efficiency, contemporary open-plan living, and an idyllic countryside setting.

The thoughtfully designed ground floor features a striking open-plan kitchen, flooded with natural light from full-height windows and bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect the interior with the garden and open fields beyond. The kitchen itself is a showstopper, boasting a dropped ceiling, a generous central island, premium stone work surfaces, and a full suite of integrated appliances — including a built-in coffee machine. Ideal for families, couples, or those who love to entertain, the space flows effortlessly into the adjoining living areas. Double doors lead to a separate sitting room, allowing for either open living or a more private retreat. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the high-quality design continues with vaulted ceilings and full-height windows throughout.
There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three share a stylish Jack and Jill bathroom, while a luxurious family bathroom serves the rest of the floor. All bathrooms feature sleek, high-end fittings.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A contemporary, high-spec studio with a living green roof offers exceptional flexibility — currently used as a gym and home office, it would be equally suited as a creative studio or hobby space. Additional garden land has been acquired, allowing for a generous lawn, enclosed with post and rail fencing, and a wraparound Indian sandstone patio — ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining while enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

There are four private parking spaces.

Eco-conscious features include SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) construction, an air source heat pump supplying underfloor heating on the ground floor, a super-inverter air conditioning system, and a substantial solar panel array with battery storage— all seamlessly integrated into this luxury home.

This is a rare opportunity to own a future-proofed home that delivers on both style and sustainability in a truly picturesque setting

Seller Insight
"It was the ultra-modern design, set in a private, semi-rural, and peaceful location with excellent rail and road links, that won us over," say the owners of this eco-friendly home. "The stunning views across the fields and out towards St Neots sealed the deal."

Since moving in four years ago, the owners have made several thoughtful upgrades. "Built in the style of a Huf House and based on Kingspan designs, we loved the home as it was and didn’t need to change much. However, we added an Okopod garden room with solar panels and full air conditioning, which we’ve set up as a home gym." Enjoying time outdoors, they add, "We also recently landscaped the front and rear gardens to make the most of the space. The garden is now fully child- and dog-proofed, with plenty of room for entertaining."

Outside, the substantial, south-facing gardens are easy to maintain and largely laid to lawn, with mature trees adding to its charm. “The rear garden is bordered by fields on two sides, with a beautiful line of trees creating the most stunning outlook. Whatever the weather, you feel connected to nature – watching the sunset from the raised decking area is a real joy.” They add, “Whether you want to relax in the sunshine, dine al fresco, or entertain guests, the garden is perfect.”

With a well-designed layout for everyday living, this stunning home also boasts impressive green credentials. “With a top-tier eco rating, we live practically off-grid during the summer. The air conditioning and filtration system keeps everything cool and fresh on the warmest days, while the underfloor heating and HVAC system ensure it’s cosy in winter.” Open plan downstairs with four bedrooms upstairs, the owners say, “all bedrooms have impressive double height ceilings mimicking the slope of the roofline.”

Positioned within a private and secluded development of just nine desirable properties, the owners speak highly of their neighbours, saying, “They are lovely, and we’ve become great friends. Everyone in The Range is friendly and sociable without invading one’s privacy. ”Beyond the property, comprehensive amenities are just minutes away. “Abbotsley offers a church, village hall, and a pub serving food.
