Church House is an elegant and generously proportioned country residence, offering bespoke, high-quality accommodation with a beautifully bright and spacious interior. Perfectly suited to both growing or extended families and those seeking a modern, comfortable home, it provides exceptional entertaining spaces and superb facilities for home working.

Recently refreshed by the current owners, including a fully remodelled and equipped breakfast kitchen, the property extends to around 4,200 square feet. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a vast reception/dining hall that sets the tone for the home. There are three additional reception rooms, a practical laundry/utility room, a walk-in pantry, and a guest cloakroom.

The principal bedroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom. With five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, the home offers a versatile layout, with two areas that could easily be transformed into separate suites or annex accommodation for guests or extended family.

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, Church House is accessed via electronically operated gates and sits within delightful wraparound gardens, extending to nearly half an acre. These gardens were once part of the grounds of the Old Rectory and can be enjoyed through French doors from all the principal ground-floor rooms.

This home perfectly blends timeless charm with modern living, offering both comfort and privacy in an idyllic country setting.

Location
The desirable village of Spaldwick is situated just off the recently upgraded A14 and about four miles north of Kimbolton, home to one of the leading independent schools. The village has a church, primary school with playgroup, an excellent public house/restaurant and services with petrol station, Little Waitrose, Costa and Greggs. The secondary school for Spaldwick catchment is Hinchingbrooke in Huntingdon. The A1 is about 4.5 miles to the east, giving excellent dual carriageway access both north and south, M1/M6 to the west and A14/M11 east. Main line commuter train service to London’s Kings Cross is available at Huntingdon (approx. 7 miles) and St Neots (approx. 12 miles). Bedford is approximately 19 miles and Cambridge 25 miles away. The airports of East Midlands, Stansted and Luton can be reached in a little over an hour.

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.
