House For Sale £700,000
This truly unique property is located in an enviable position right in the heart of the bustling town of Godmanchester, and less than a mile from the centre of Huntingdon.
Converted from a former Baptist chapel in the late 1980's it has been updated and improved by the current owners to create a breath-taking blend of character features and high end, contemporary design.
With incredibly versatile living accommodation there is scope to add additional living space or potentially an annexe area at the rear for the growing family.
Entering through the elegant main doors there is a lobby with access to two work from home office spaces which could, alternatively be used as additional guest bedrooms, from the lobby you then enter the fabulous open plan family space with vaulted ceilings and a very modern feel. Also on the ground floor are two generous bedrooms, a family bathroom and a stunning kitchen/breakfast area.
To the rear is a workshop/studio area which could be a home gym, cinema room or possibly a self-contained annexe.
Upstairs is a glorious main bedroom suite with en-suite wetroom, dressing area and spiral staircase.
Outside is a very smart garage with additional parking if required.
Seller Insight
Font House immediately attracted the present owners, who loved the unique and charming ambience of this former Baptist Church that has been sympathetically converted into a spacious and comfortable family home. They experience the wow factor of the striking glass entrance, and the welcoming atmosphere of the house, with its flood of natural light pouring in through the generous windows.
The luxury of space within the open plan ground floor is quite spectacular. The large family zone is the outstanding sociable hub, being the heart of the home where there is enough room for everyone to meet or have individual space, in the two rooms to the front of the house. It is a pleasure to sit in the living area where the walls soar to the peak of the chapel roof, resulting in a stunning visual treat and a calm and relaxing mood.
The spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine area where the splendid master bedroom suite is a peaceful sanctuary. You can lie in bed with a view through the great triangular entrance window. It is another of the wow factors in this remarkable home.
The ground floor contains a further two bedrooms and there is also an undeveloped area to the rear of the main zone. This provides a totally blank sheet for the next owners, and it would, perhaps, make a garden room to lead into the small garden and patio which is a perfect place for al fresco dining.
Godmanchester is a small historic town, with shops for everyday needs and good local schools. The owners love the choice of country walks and say that a favourite treat is to walk to Brampton Mill, a local pub and get a water taxi home. It is only a twenty-minute walk into bustling Huntingdon with its weekly market, and Riverside Park and annual fireworks and Picnic in the Park. There is a fast and frequent train service into Kings Cross and easy connection to the A14 and M11. You can enjoy the best of town and country from Font House. The owners will miss this very special home and know that they will never be able to replace it. They take away many happy memories.
