4 bedroom detached house for sale

An Exceptional Contemporary Barn Conversion in a Glorious Semi-Rural Setting

Completed in 2020 and thoughtfully enhanced, this outstanding barn conversion offers approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of bespoke accommodation, combining striking contemporary architecture with the comfort and practicality of a refined family home. Occupying a superior plot approaching one acre, the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic countryside views in the charming village of Catworth.

Electric gates open to a sweeping gravel driveway, setting an impressive tone of arrival. The naturally weathering Siberian larch exterior and standing seam roof with integrated solar panels reflect both architectural integrity and environmental consideration.

The reception hall is a dramatic introduction, with full-height glazing flooding the space with natural light. Twin oak staircases with glass balustrades rise to a magnificent galleried landing, creating a striking focal point and versatile study or reading area.

To the front of the property, two generous dual-aspect reception rooms are accessed via glazed double doors, offering flexible space for formal entertaining, family living or home working.

The 43 ft. kitchen/breakfast/family room forms the heart of the home. A vaulted ceiling and extensive glazing, including bi-fold and French doors, maximise the rear outlook and provide seamless access to the terrace. A wood-burning stove adds warmth to the seating area, while the beautifully appointed kitchen features white granite worktops, lacquered cabinetry and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including Miele steam and pyrolytic ovens, combination microwave, coffee machine and induction hob set within a central island with breakfast bar and wine cooler.

A well-equipped utility room provides additional storage and side access. Engineered oak flooring extends across much of the ground floor, complemented by underfloor heating powered by an air-source system.

Upstairs, the light-filled galleried landing leads to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. Two benefit from en suites, while the principal suite also enjoys a superb dressing room with glazed oak sliding doors and bespoke storage. The family bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a freestanding double-ended bath and walk-in wet-room style shower.

Outside, the private landscaped grounds extend to close to one acre, featuring wrap-around paved terraces, expansive lawns, young trees and post-and-rail boundaries that blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside.

Ample parking and turning space is provided alongside a double garage with electric doors and a further workshop/storage barn.

The village of Catworth lies approximately one mile south of the recently upgraded A14, offering convenient access to the A1, M1 and M6. Nearby Kimbolton provides independent shops, eateries and well-regarded schooling, while mainline stations at Huntingdon and St Neots offer direct services to London King’s Cross.

Seller Insight
From the moment we arrived at Field View, the far-reaching views across open countryside captured us completely. Watching the landscape change with the seasons has been one of the greatest joys of living here.

We naturally gravitate towards the open-plan kitchen and living space at the rear of the house. It is wonderfully bright and sociable, perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike. In winter, the woodburner creates a cosy atmosphere; in summer, opening the doors onto the patio makes gatherings effortless.

Since the property was completed, we have enhanced it with air conditioning, an alarm system, landscaped gardens and additional storage, making it even more comfortable and practical.

The double-height space and galleried landing have provided a beautiful setting for family celebrations over the years, while the garden, generous yet easy to maintain, offers privacy and space for grandchildren to play.

We have particularly valued the balance of peaceful village life in Catworth with the convenience of nearby Kimbolton for shops, restaurants and schooling. Excellent road links and direct rail services to London and Cambridge make travel straightforward, yet returning home always feels like stepping back into calm countryside.

Field View has offered us the perfect blend of contemporary living, space and rural tranquillity.
