House For Sale £320,000
This cottage is a period former estate house that was part of the recently sold Alington Estate and forms part of a small exclusive range of eight properties. This is a charming, period property offering light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor accommodation includes a reception and a dining room, opening onto the kitchen with a range of wall and base units and space for modern integrated appliances. A door from the kitchen opens to a side hall with a modern family bathroom and a door to the garden.
A staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor which provides a principal bedroom, and two further bedrooms with stunning views over open countryside.
The property is in the small settlement of Little Barford just to the south of the picturesque town of St. Neots. Set on the banks of the River Great Ouse, the town offers a wide range of day-to-day amenities including a parish church, local shopping, a Waitrose supermarket and a pretty market square, host to a weekly market. The town also benefits from an arts centre with six-screen cinema, restaurants and a gym, ten pin bowling centre, two golf courses and Riverside Park, a 72-acre recreational site with a café, children’s activity area, skate park, miniature railway and mile-long river frontage forming part of the Ouse Valley Way walking route and Sustrans national cycle route. More extensive shopping, service and leisure amenities can be found in both Bedford and the thriving University city of Cambridge.
Surrounded by agricultural land yet ideal for the commuter, the property enjoys easy access to the A1 and A14, with their onward links to the M11, M1 and national motorway network, and St. Neots station which offers excellent rail links to London Kings Cross in around 40 minutes.
The house sits behind mature hedging and is approached through a picket gate and through an area of level lawn to the front door with a side gate to the rear aspect. The good sized enclosed garden to the rear is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by mature shrubs.
There is a brick outbuilding which could be suitable for a variety of uses such as further utility space, home office or just as a store. By the house is a gravelled terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. There is vehicular access to the rear with private parking for multiple vehicles with beyond far-reaching views over neighbouring farmland.
