Ellis Winters Exclusive are delighted to offer Willowdene, a unique Victorian home measuring approximately 4910 SQ-FT in total. This substantial character home offers lots of period charm, generous and versatile accommodation throughout, as well as a beautiful mature garden, all conveniently located on the outskirts of the historic market town of St Ives.

You are greeted at Willowdene by an original front door which opens to a vestibule. Double doors then open to a truly lovely reception room with a bay window, a log burning stove, stairs leading to the first floor and a delightful, curved feature wall. The reception room provides direct access to the sitting room, dining room and kitchen. The stand out reception room of the house is the formal dining room with its fabulous open fireplace and walk out bay window with direct access to the garden. Linking the dining room and the sitting room is an original sliding panelled door which can be opened to create a fantastic social space. The sitting room also boasts a walk out bay window with access to the garden, as well as a Victorian style feature fireplace and access to a traditional styled conservatory.

The good sized kitchen has been fitted in a traditional style and connects directly to a lovely breakfast room with views over the rear garden. The kitchen also leads to a utility room which features a sought after, walk-in pantry. The utility room in turn leads to a versatile boot room suitable for a variety of uses, a two piece suite cloakroom, and the rear hall with stable door to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large, double aspect office overlooking the garden; perfect for someone working from home or as a play room for a young family.

Upstairs the traditional large landing with sash window to front welcomes you to the first floor. The landing provides access to four of the bedrooms. The impressive sized dual aspect principal bedroom boasts a feature corner fireplace as well as a southerly facing balcony overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom two is a good sized double bedroom with door to gain access to the self-contained annex if required. Bedroom three is another pleasant double room and bedroom four is a large single room or small double. The large family bathroom is fitted with a four piece suite. A separate WC is located next to the family bathroom with the first floor accommodation completed by a great walk in airing cupboard.

The self-contained annex, with its own separate external entrance, is ideal for guests or perfect as a retreat for relatives either young or old. The annex consists of a spacious main room full of natural light for a studio or as a living room with garden views, a three piece suite bathroom, a modern kitchen/breakfast room and a dual aspect double bedroom.

Willowdene is positioned on a plot measuring approximately 2/3 acre (sts). Wrought iron gates provide access to an extensive driveway providing ample off road parking for several vehicles. The driveway extends down to the side of the property providing vehicular access to the rear of the plot. Located to the rear of the plot is the detached triple garage and further parking ideal for storing a caravan, camper van or even river boat for the nearby River Great Ouse. The wrap around garden is southerly facing to the rear and boasts an extensive and unusual walled terrace, with feature rose beds, ideal for al fresco dining. Although Willowdene already offers so much, it still provides huge potential for further improvements and possible further development (stp).

Willowdene is uniquely positioned to not only provide walking access to both St Ives town centre and the Guided Busway to Cambridge, but has great road access to the nationally important A14 linking Cambridge, Huntingdon, the M11, M1, A1 and the east coast ports. The town of Huntingdon is only 6 miles away with its mainline train station offering frequent trains to Kings Cross and St Pancras in under an hour.

An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the wonderful space, charm, and character all offered with this truly magnificent individual Victorian home.
