This 19th Century period property is set in a tranquil location in the village of Yelling about 5 miles to the north east of St Neots and with easy access to the mainline rail station. The property sits on a plot of approximately 0.4 of an acre along a quiet no-through road with fields to the rear.
This period property was originally three cottages and has been converted into a four bedroom linked detached family home with scope for improvement. This charming home is bursting with original period features and retains beautiful, exposed beams and open fireplaces. Double French doors lead into the entrance hall and the family room beyond with an enclosed spiral staircase to the first floor. The family room leads through to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room with integrated cooking appliances. The large living/dining room has inglenook fireplaces at each end – one with a wood burner, exposed beams and wooden floor.

To the rear of the property there is a large lean-to with the potential of being converted into a garden room.

Seller Insight
Located around five miles east of St Neots and six miles south of Huntingdon in the linear village of Yelling, 10 Bridle End sits within the heart of the village in a peaceful spot on a no-through road surrounded by trees and open countryside. The deeds indicate that the property was originally four cottages, known as Little Barns, and that one cottage was once the village shop and tobacconist. Purchased by the current owner in 1972, who has developed the property into one dwelling, it has been an on-going project, and although lovingly transformed with some quirky features, it offers scope for a full refurbishment.
‘The property comes with four double bedrooms, a driveway with off-road parking, a large garden with countryside views and an abundance of cosy charm; low ceilings and a log burner give it that lovely cottagey feel. With the right amount of imagination and work to breathe new life into it, the perfect rural family home could be created here.’
‘The quiet end of road location means minimal traffic – the adjoining bridleway leads to the next village of Graveley. The area is popular with horse-riders and there is a riding stables in the village.’
‘The long, large garden is largely flanked by mature trees and backs onto fields – the views here are uninterrupted. There is a workshop in the garden.’
‘The three neighbouring houses are occupied by lovely friendly people – in fact, everyone in the village seem very pleasant. The small village has a cricket field and social club, so there are opportunities to get to know the locals if you are socially minded.’
‘Positioned in a triangle between St Neots, Cambridge and Huntingdon means there are plenty of options for accessing amenities. Whilst Yelling doesn’t have a village school of its own, many of the surrounding villages have primary schools. With the M1 not too far away, access to London and the north is easy.’
