### open house on Saturday, 10th September 2022. Please call to book an appointment ###
Set on a plot approaching half an acre in this highly sought after village, this substantial home is within walking distance of village amenities.
Set back from the village lane behind mature hedging and trees a large gravel drive offers ample parking, turning space and access to the double garage which has adjoining garage stores. The handsome and symmetrical front welcomes you into a bright and light family home. Stepping into the spacious entrance hall, with stairs to the first floor, the hall opens to two of the three dual aspect reception rooms and the kitchen breakfast room. The living/family room with brick feature fireplace also has a door out to the gardens and is a very flexible space which could be easily transformed into a home office or study. The dining room also benefits from garden access with French doors opening onto the south facing gardens. The spacious drawing room has a large bay window to the south facing garden and also benefits from a Bodart & Garnet wood burner. The generous size kitchen breakfast room has plenty of room for a table and chairs for casual family meals and a door leads to the newly refurbished utility room offering plenty of storage and access to the garden. A separate cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the large landing leads to the spacious principal bedroom which has a refitted fully tiled en-suite with Bette steel bath and Aqualisa power shower over and a walk-through dressing area. Bedrooms two, three and four are all good size double bedrooms whilst bedroom five is a small single bedroom which could be used for occasional use or transformed into a dressing room or study. These are served by a family bathroom and separate WC.
This exceptional corner plot is particularly special, with the garden wrapping around the property, and benefiting from being mainly south and west facing. An established tree and hedge line most of the boundaries and ensures a high level of privacy. The plot also offers the opportunity to extend or create a separate plot (subject to planning permission etc.).
Village information
The Hemingfords (Hemingford Grey and Hemingford Abbots) are situated along the banks of the River Great Ouse and are well-known as very picturesque and sought-after Cambridgeshire villages with beautiful river walks and footpaths to St Ives. Much of the villages are within a Conservation Area with many thatched cottages and barns and other architecturally important buildings. The Grade I listed village church with its tall spire is also a landmark for miles around the Ouse valley.
Hemingford Grey has a wide range of facilities including the Award winning “Cock” pub, village shop “Budgens”, Post Office, children’s playing area, 12th Century church, Church hall, Coffee shop, Primary school, Pavilion sports club with facilities for tennis, squash, cricket, football, bowls and a variety of social clubs and activities.
The sister village, Hemingford Abbots, also has the “Axe & Compass” pub, an all purpose-built Village Hall, playing field equipped with children’s play equipment and a golf range/course. Between the two villages there is a wide range of clubs, societies and activities such as the annual Regatta and biennial Flower Festival.
Transport
Hemingford Grey sits about halfway between the towns of Huntingdon and St Ives (approx. 3 miles respectively) where a wider selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities are available. The newly modified A14 provides quick and easy access into Cambridge and links to the A1, M11 and the national motorway network. Huntingdon has a railway station with fast trains into London King’s Cross in around 52 minutes and links to the North via Peterborough (approximately 15 minutes) whilst St Ives offers the Guided Busway service to the Cambridge Science Park and city centre.
Schools
