Description
This exquisitely modernised Grade II listed, four-bedroom detached residence, with a complete onward chain, in the charming village of Catworth harmonises historic character with contemporary luxury.
Set amidst idyllic countryside with easy access to the historic village of Kimbolton, it offers an inviting blend of amenities and scenic walks.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a home filled with character and sophistication. Original
elements, such as exposed beams and working fireplaces, combine seamlessly with sleek, modern
updates. The spacious ground floor features an extended garden room, bathed in natural light, which opens through bi-fold doors to a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. This open-plan layout is a versatile living area for entertaining and relaxation.
Additionally, the cosy yet expansive lounge features a dual-fuel stove and connects to a dining area that boasts a curved wall and a bay window, creating a delightful mix of charm and spaciousness.
The bespoke Brookmans kitchen is fitted with granite countertops, handmade cabinetry, a Belfast sink, Quettle hot water tap, Neff double oven, and a unique corner Neff ceramic hob with extractor fan. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room, equipped for laundry needs, while the study, which could serve as a fifth bedroom or playroom, features an original fireplace. The ground floor is
completed by a modern shower room/WC, accessible from the hallway.
On the first floor, four spacious bedrooms await, two of which include built-in Hammonds
wardrobes, along with a modern family bathroom featuring vanity storage and underfloor heating.
Additional amenities include a detached, two-storey garage with a rear log store, as well as two
upper-level rooms suitable for a potential guest annexe (subject to planning approval). A potting
shed and a timber log cabin, currently used as a gym but adaptable for a home office, complete the
outbuildings.
Outside, the south-facing garden offers a private oasis with block-paved seating, lush lawns, and a
solid Tuin log cabin with external power, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. The front garden and
driveway lead to the detached garage, equipped with remote-controlled entry.
Seller Insight
"Our family has called 15 High Street home for 25 years. Moving here from North London in 1994,
we wanted a countryside lifestyle for our growing family. The south-facing garden, spacious rooms,
and ample parking immediately felt like the perfect fit."
"In 2012, we extended the patio into a large garden room with bi-fold doors and underfloor heating, creating a versatile space that connects the indoors to the outside. It has hosted countless gatherings with friends and family over the years, and it's where we celebrate Christmas and other milestone events. In summer, it's perfect for breakfast or reading, while in winter, we love the lounge with its wood-burning stove for cosy evenings."
"Our garden, designed by a local architect, feature lime, cherry, larch trees, and black bamboo,
offering year-round beauty with minimal upkeep."
"The village has a strong, welcoming community, and we've formed many friendships through local
events, our dog walks, and visits to the farm-to-table village pub."
"As our children have grown, it's time to embark on a new chapter, but leaving will be bittersweet.
We'll miss our cherished walks with our dog Ted, the vibrant village life, and the warmth that has
always greeted us upon returning home."
