Property description
A Grade II listed six bedroom detached former farmhouse with gardens and grounds of approximately 1.85 acres including a historic moat, in a private position on the edge of the village.
The property is believed to date originally from the 17th century, with later 19th century additions. It is of timber framed construction with rough cast painted elevations under a tiled roof. The accommodation now extends to approximately 2,775 sq. ft. over three floors and includes a reception hall, four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, boot room and cloakroom on the ground floor. There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The master bedroom has bespoke fitted furniture and an en suite bathroom. The second floor has two further bedrooms which share a shower room. Remotely operated custom oak gates lead to the cobbled driveway which continues to the side and rear of the house and provides extensive parking. Part of the drive has inset uplighters.
Reception Rooms
The reception hall currently houses a grand piano. The inner hall has an original full turn staircase to the first floor. The dining room has sash windows overlooking the garden, exposed wooden flooring and a feature fireplace with an inset log burner. The sitting room and family room both have a feature corner fireplace housing a log burning stove. The family room also has a bay with glazed double doors to a walled terrace in the garden.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room
The kitchen/breakfast room has been refitted in a bespoke range of two tone Shaker style units, including a pull out larder cupboard, with quartz work surfaces incorporating a sink with a boiling water tap. Integrated appliances include two electric ovens, a warming drawer, an induction hob with extractor over, a dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer. There is an exposed original ceiling timber and a wood effect tiled floor.
Formal Gardens
The formal wraparound gardens are a particular feature and are principally lawned with established borders and mature hedges for screening. As well as the walled terrace by the family room, there is an outdoor entertaining area and kitchen, with power and sheltered by timber framed gazebos. There is a timber workshop/store, a children's play area and a further open fronted barn. A wooded area at the rear incorporates the historic moat, possibly the site of an earlier Manor House.
Situation and Schooling
The village of Ellington has a village hall, a church, tennis courts, playing fields and a gastro pub. Grafham Water provides outdoor recreational facilities. The A14 runs to the north of the village with the village itself lying immediately to the south of Junction 20 of the A14. Schools within a 5 mile radius are Spaldwick Primary, Hinchingbrooke School and Kimbolton School.
