The house is also just 300 yards from the Great Ouse River and St. Ives town centre, and enjoys a wonderfully-kept landscaped garden with ample space for entertaining.
On entering the property, you're immediately wowed by the outlook and open-plan architecture, which provides insight into the quality seen throughout. The entrance hallway is immediately welcoming with parquet flooring, light décor, carpeted stairs to the first floor, and access through to the sitting room, living room, and an ideally situated cloakroom, comprising WC and hand washbasin.
Through a wide open archway, you step into the sitting room and instantly sense the warm, homely atmosphere, with an attractive ornate fireplace and wood burning stove, cornices, chandelier lighting, pretty quarry tiles, and a deep bay window to the front aspect. Moving through another open arch into the dining room, similar quality is seen here, with pretty quarry tiles, chandelier ceiling and high skirting boards. Both rooms are in keeping with the Edwardian era and enjoy high ceilings and ample room for a variety of sitting and dining room furniture, including space for various decorative dressers.
The study is accessed from the sitting room and provides a quiet escape, perfect to work, read or relax. With a large window to a front aspect and spiral stairs to the first floor, the room is very bright and open, and it enjoys a thick comfortable carpet with space for a desk, bookcases and a bureau.
The living room is another warm and homely space, and is a very generous size with the same beautiful wood flooring, door from the kitchen, and a door from the entrance hallway. It is a very bright room due to its symbiosis with the kitchen as well as the large glazed door providing access to the rear garden.
The ten-metre-long kitchen/dining/garden room truly is the heart of this wonderful property, and the current owners have extended and renovated it to an incredibly high standard, with a wide range of cream base kitchen units, granite work surfaces, a long island with low-hanging lighting, and integrated appliances, such as an oven, microwave, hob, cooker hood, fridge and dishwasher. The wide skylight and recessed lighting create a light and airy atmosphere and, coupled with the beautiful wood flooring and cheery décor, this room really is one you can spend quality time cooking with the family. There is ample space for a further dining table, and the room has been intelligently planned so that it opens up into a wide garden room. The garden room enjoys the same beautiful flooring as well as a panoramic view of the garden. There is plenty of room for further sitting/conservatory furniture and provides dual side access to the rear garden. Off of the kitchen, the property also features a large utility area, with a range of kitchen units, a sink, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Upstairs to the first floor, 19 North Road continues to impress, offering an abundance of space, light and impeccable interior design. It must be expressed how much care and detail the current owners have put into this property to make it a wonderful family home. There is a long L-shaped carpeted landing that leads to the majority of the bedrooms and bathrooms, and another rectangular carpeted landing, with a window to a front aspect, which leads to the guest suite/second bedroom, as well as downstairs to the study. A ceiling hatch gives access via a fitted ladder to a large floored, loft space with lighting and electrical sockets.
The master suite is outstandingly attractive and enjoys beautiful wooden flooring in the bedroom, twelve velux windows to a dual aspect, integrated bookshelves and recessed lighting. Through an archway, the carpeted dressing room can be accessed, and it enjoys a wall of floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes, ample space for a variety of furniture, including a dressing table, drawers, chairs, and a glazed door out onto a long balcony. The ensuite bathroom is fully tiled and comprises an integrated WC, shower cubicle, hand wash basin, a range of built-in cupboards, and a window to the side aspect.
The second bedroom/guest suite comprises an incredibly spacious bedroom and private bathroom, and is the perfect space to house guests while they stay overnight. The bedroom has two large windows to a front aspect, plush carpets, and a vast amount of space for bedroom and sitting room furniture. The ensuite is a full-sized bathroom with a shower over the bath, WC, hand washbasin, and a large storage cupboard.
Bedrooms three, four are both good-sized double rooms with the fifth bedroom being a well sized single with unique Edwardian features, including ornate fireplaces in bedroom three and five, and a large bay window in bedroom four. Each room has cream carpeting, light and cheerful décor, and plenty of space for bedroom furniture. The family bathroom enjoys a window to the front aspect and a four-piece suite, comprising a shower cubicle, full-length bath, hand wash basin and WC. Across the landing, the shower room is equally a very generous size and comprises a corner shower cubicle, WC, hand wash basin and a window to the centre of the house.
Outside to the front, the property offers remarkable curb appeal with an immaculate extended frontage and elegant Edwardian features. The property is approached by a wrought iron gate and fence, and the front garden is planted with pretty shrubs and flowers. The large garage has a remote controlled electric up and over door, with rear doors giving access to parking for a further two cars.
To the rear, 19 North Road offers a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of this vibrant market town. The south-facing garden has been particularly well designed and cared for, with meandering grass, stone pathways, alpine rockeries, and flowerbeds bursting with a variety of plants, trees and shrubs. There is a lovely paved patio area with a covered pergola, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a family meal in the summertime. A high brick wall with trellis and climbing plants further ensure privacy, security and tranquillity, and there is an attractive summerhouse with bay window and French doors, as well as a shed and an allotment area that the current owners have created to grow a variety of vegetables.
Situated in the heart of the very popular market town of St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, the property is a rarely available and impeccably presented Edwardian character family home. St. Ives offers an abundance of shops, activities, local culture hotspots, landmarks and schools, and it offers direct connection via the Guided Busway to Cambridge. Covid-permitting, there is a weekly market as well as a biweekly farmer's market, and a myriad of entertainment going on throughout the year.
Vendor Insight:
"The reason why we purchased our lovely home is predominantly that we wanted a change, " says the owner. "We hadn't lived in a town for 48 years, and St. Ives was right where we needed to be. With its beauty, history, culture and close proximity to the river…it fit the bill! The house has plenty of space for family visits, and we also knew that the big garden was rare for a home so close to the town centre. We also love that the house came from an Edwardian time period. We understand that, around 90 years ago, the oldest section of the house formed part of a well-known local corn merchant's business!
"Having visitors has been such a joy with this house-not including 2020, of course! But we have loved our family of three children, their spouses and six grandchildren coming to stay for Christmas and other holidays. They've always been delighted to stay in the big house in St. Ives.
"Our favourite room in the house has to be the ten-metre-long kitchen, especially since you get a wonderful view of the garden from the garden room. It's just such a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by.
"St. Ives is such a vibrant town with many events during the year, lots of cafes and a fine selection of restaurants. We've enjoyed boat trips, riverside walks, and the nearby swimming pool. This is why, even though we intend to downsize, we intend to stay in the town as we've fallen completely in love with it."
