Little Staughton
The popular village of Little Staughton is situated approximately 4 miles south of Kimbolton and 9 miles north of Bedford and is in the catchment area for Sharnbrook Upper School. Local amenities include a thriving farm shop and a public house. Conveniently situated for road and rail use, main routes such as the A1, A6, A428 and recently upgraded A14 are all within easy reach, with Bedford, Huntingdon and St Neots offering mainline stations and a commuter service to London. Stansted, Luton and East Midlands airports can be reached in just over the hour.
The nearby historic market town of Kimbolton boasts one of the area’s leading private schools, along with the well-regarded Kimbolton Primary Academy. It offers a wide variety of shops and eateries, chemist, dentist, health centre, supermarket and garage.

Following the success of the Huntingdon and St Ives offices, Kimbolton opened in 1997 and quickly established itself as the area’s leading estate agent, continuing the founding office’s ethos of providing exceptional customer service. To this day, we issue satisfaction questionnaires to our vendors and purchasers and, most importantly, take note of their comments. The office plays host to a mature and settled team, exceptionally experienced in all aspects of the buying and selling process and who will relish the opportunity to help you make your move. We are always keen to foster close links within the local community and have the pleasure of sponsoring the Kimbolton Children’s Christmas Party in the Mandeville Hall. The Kimbolton office enjoys close links with the Mayfair Office and regularly holds London Property Events in order to showcase some of the exceptional homes that are available locally. We are privileged to work in what is undoubtedly one of the most attractive areas of the country and the office is perfectly placed close to the borders of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Northamptonshire. The Three Shires Way is a long distance bridleway which runs between Tathall End in north-east Buckinghamshire and Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire. The route traces the outline of ancient track ways and passes through a beautiful rural landscape. The centrepiece of the village is Kimbolton Castle which forms the main building of Kimbolton School (now an independent day and boarding school), but its predecessor on the same site was once home and prison to Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII.
