House For Sale £950,000
The Waterhaven is the perfect name for this stunning, Dutch architecture inspired modern family home which is set in an exclusive development of riverside homes in the very heart of the popular and well served village of Earith. This truly is a must see property for anybody looking for a luxury home with river access and private mooring.
Built in 1999 with an abundance of natural light and the unrivalled views, the property has been updated, maintained and presented to the very highest standards by the current owner. The ground floor is currently arranged with a spacious light lounge with feature fireplace and three sets of French doors opening out to the patio and garden with river frontage. Further internal doors lead through to both the office/study and conservatory. The office/study has French doors opening onto the front courtyard garden. The high end contemporary kitchen has integrated appliances, a breakfast bar, seating area and French doors opening out to the front courtyard garden. A single door leads from the kitchen to the dining room which flows through to the conservatory and garden creating a fabulous entertaining space.
Upstairs are five very well appointed bedrooms. The spacious principal bedroom is particularly special with doors opening onto a balcony with plenty of room for seating, and to enjoy the stunning views over the river and fields beyond. It also benefits from a modern en-suite, dressing area and ample fitted wardrobes. There is a good size guest double bedroom which has an en-suite and Juliet balcony. A modern family bathroom serves the other three double bedrooms, all with Juliet balconies.
To the front of the home is a very private walled courtyard garden with low maintenance planting and a good size seating/eating area accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room. The property also has a double garage and parking. To the rear of the property is a beautifully elevated patio and landscaped garden with views out to the river, the marina, and the Cambridgeshire countryside beyond. Stepping down onto the jetty there is a 30ft private mooring.
This stunning property should be viewed immediately to avoid disappointment.
Seller Insight
Tucked quietly away within the village of Earith, this magnificent, spacious, family home enjoys an incredible frontage onto the Great Ouse. Set in its quiet, private, enclave, reflecting a Dutch architectural style, it is one of a small development of award winning properties constructed to a demanding specification. No 4 has been the home for its present owners for the past sixteen years.
The setting of this property is truly magical. Its main living space faces south and overlooks the river providing ever changing vistas and interests. It is not hard to comprehend the owners’ attraction to this wonderful house and, since coming to live here, they have enhanced their home further resulting in a home full of luxury and practicality, combined with highly versatile and well-proportioned rooms throughout. The house offers extensive options for a comfortable living style and is wonderful for welcoming friends and family when they come to stay. The conservatory was part of the original build and adds to the flexibility of the house offering a wonderful connectivity and flexibility throughout.
Another significant enhancement undertaken by the owners was to replace the existing outside patio garden wall with a purpose built glazed barrier and, also, the principal bedroom balcony barrier was likewise replaced with similar glazing. These add further to the breathtaking viewpoints, particularly in the bedroom enjoying morning cups of tea and savouring the early morning activities on the river. Inside/outside living is a huge factor in the joy of this property, whatever the weather, or time of year, the utterly enchanting views never cease to bring joy, alongside the endless variety of wildlife, one being the annual delight of a baby seal pup. Steps from the patio lead down to the personal mooring which enables enjoyable boat trips to the local riverside pubs and other river places of interest. Having so much internal space, combined with the fabulous river frontage, this really is the ultimate party house of which there have been many over the years.
The local village has good amenities but, nearby, is the market town of St Ives and Huntingdon, both of which contain quality supermarkets. Huntingdon is where the main line railway station is based which provides efficient journeys into the capital whilst St Ives offers a guided bus service direct into the beautiful city of Cambridge. Schools, both state and independent are easy to reach, as are wide ranging leisure opportunities.
It is now time for another family to experience the exceptional lifestyle available in this brilliant house and the present owners wish them much happiness.
