Property description

A modern five bedroom detached Mock Tudor style property set back from the road situated on the edge of the highly regarded market town, within landscaped gardens of approximately 0.29 acres

The property provides over 2,720 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation including an entrance hall, three reception rooms, enhanced by exposed beams and timbers and inglenook and period style brick fireplaces in the sitting and dining rooms, and a custom-built conservatory which opens directly, with steps down, to the landscaped gardens. There is a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining utility room, and a cloakroom on the ground floor. The galleried landing provides access to the five bedrooms, the family bathroom, and the shower room. The principal bedroom also has an en suite bathroom. The property is screened by a combination of post and rail fencing and mature hedges with a timber gate providing access to the side and rear gardens. A timber five bar gate opens to the gravel driveway providing parking for up to six cars and access to the double width garage with two up and over doors, power connected, and double doors to the rear garden.

Entrance Hall and Reception Rooms

The entrance hall has a cloaks cupboard and a full turn staircase with a cupboard under, and exposed timbers which continue throughout the house. The triple aspect sitting room has an inglenook fireplace with a raised hearth and a canopied flue with a log burning stove. Double doors lead to the dining room with a brick fireplace housing a log burning stove, bespoke oak bookshelves, and glazed sliding doors to the custom-built conservatory. This brick, uPVC, and double-glazed construction has a pitched glazed roof with automated opening skylights. Two pairs of part glazed double doors open to the terrace and lawn.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Utility Room

The modern kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with cabinets and worksurfaces with a double sink unit and drainer. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven, a ceramic hob with extractor over, a dishwasher, a microwave, and a corner pantry cupboard. Windows overlook the rear garden and there is space for a table. The utility room, accessible from the driveway and rear garden, has fitted units and worksurfaces, with an inset sink and space and plumbing for appliances.

Gardens

A timber gate leads to the enclosed gardens, which are a particular feature of the property, and extend to the front, side, and rear of the house, with the village brook running down one side. Landscaped, they include a shaped lawn and borders with abundant planting and mature trees. To the rear is a paved terrace and a further circular sitting area on the lawn. Also included are: a timber garden shed, an outdoor kennel, a custom-built greenhouse, and a covered area for the oil tank.

Situation and Schooling

Kimbolton is a market town approximately 7 miles west of St Neots, 24 miles west of Cambridge, and 14 miles north of Bedford. The centre of the village is Kimbolton Castle which now forms the main building of Kimbolton School (an independent day and boarding school), but its predecessor on the same site was once home and prison to Katherine of Aragon after her divorce from Henry VIII.
