This imposing period farmhouse is perfectly positioned set back from the road on an elevated plot approaching half an acre, with fine gardens, garaging and range of outbuildings with a variety of potential uses.

The characterful accommodation of the main residence extends to a generous 2,300 square feet and will equally suit the growing or extended family and those looking for a distinctive, comfortable home with a wealth of style and original features, which takes full advantage of the garden views and delightful semi-rural location.

Believed to date back to the late C17th/early C18th, the property has been considerably extended and much improved over the ensuing years to now provide three reception rooms, all with dual-aspect, comprising drawing room, sitting room and separate formal dining room; for those requiring more space, the is also a useful study/home office.

The well-proportioned, rustic breakfast kitchen features a comprehensive range of oak-fronted cabinets and there is also an adjacent laundry/utility room with pantry and a shower room.

There are four double bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom and a recently remodelled and refitted shower room.

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.
