Description
Riverside Tranquillity: Immerse yourself in the serenity of an acre plot with panoramic views and versatile accommodation.
Finished to an excellent standard, this bright residence spans three floors. Notably, the open-plan kitchen dining room and family room on the first floor perfectly capture the stunning views. The kitchen dining room, ideal for entertaining, features a luxurious kitchen with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. The family room, adorned with a wood-burning stove, opens onto a southwest-facing balcony. Additionally, a dual-aspect garden room with doors leading to the west-facing garden and a separate utility room enhance the overall functionality.
The ground floor boasts an en suite bedroom and a reception room with a secondary kitchen, suitable for use as a self-contained annexe. The second floor accommodates three further bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, and a well-appointed bathroom.
Outside, a block-paved drive provides ample parking, winding through the gardens to an oversized double garage. The gardens, primarily laid to lawn, extend to the riverbank and surrounding farmland. Featuring a variety of specimen trees, a generous patio, and a cabin complete with a kitchenette and shower room, the property also includes fishing and mooring rights.
Seller Insight
“The location was a big part of the appeal for us as there are outstanding views in all directions; it’s a good-sized plot in an idyllic spot with the canal nearby and scenic walks right from the doorstep, and everything we need is easily accessible as we’re positioned right in the heart of the countryside between Cambridge and Peterborough,” say the owners.
“It’s pitch dark at nighttime as there is no light pollution, so we are treated to vast, starry skies overhead and can see thunderstorms and lightening coming in from over 30 miles away. It’s peaceful and very quiet here, so it’s attractive for wildlife and we see an interesting range of birds and animals such as hedgehogs, muntjac deer, rabbits, pheasants, kestrel, ducks, and swans.”
“For the keen golfers, there are two courses here to enjoy with one green being only a few hundred yards away and it’s an easy walk to the clubhouse. There are nice restaurants in Ramsey, as well as several pubs in the nearby vicinity that do some quite exceptional food. It’s only half an hour to Huntingdon train station where we can leave the car and be in Kings Cross in an hour or so which works well for hybrid working and days out.”
“The garden is a lovely space to relax and entertain. The summerhouse is a wonderful feature that has been well used and loved by all and there’s plenty of space for BBQs in the summer. The garden is full of mature trees and bushes, and we have mooring rights to the river just next to the property where we can paddle, fish, and go out on the boat.”
“The property is ideal for multigenerational living and entertaining as there is a ground floor annexe and space for seating 24 guests in the main lounge and kitchen / dining area upstairs. We designed it as an upside-down property to make the most of the views over the fields which can be seen from every aspect. The main lounge has south facing windows overlooking the river and the sun streams in all day long; it’s certainly one of the most used rooms for us but we also enjoy sitting out on the balcony, at any time of day and night, just taking in the peace and looking up at the sky.”
