Description
Cambridge 14 miles, Huntingdon 4 miles (King's Cross 50 minutes), St Ives 3 miles (distances and time are approximate)
The Forge is Grade II listed and believed to date from the 17th century. Constructed of a timber frame with rough cast rendered elevations under a tiled roof, the property is a fine example of the period with high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms. In recent years the property has been subject to an extensive programme of modernisation carried out to a high standard by the present owners with great care and sensitivity taken to retain and enhance the period features. The result is a beautiful and immaculately presented family home.
Hemingford Abbots is a very picturesque and highly regarded conservation village with many period properties. The spire of the medieval church is a riverside landmark and the village square has the Axe and Compass public house. There are also delightful riverside walks, golf range. Further facilities are available in the sister village of Hemingford Grey (about 1 mile), including a public house/restaurant, general store, primary school, farm shop, sports and social club with facilities for tennis, squash, cricket, bowls and football. Cambridge is recognised as the centre of the 'high tech' and "bio tech" industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories and the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park. The city provides an excellent choice of shopping facilities and a wide range of educational and cultural amenities. For the commuter, the nearby A1307 provides fast access to Huntingdon Station, Cambridge and the M11 for London to the southeast, Peterborough, via the A1, to the north and the M1 and M6 to the west. A mainline railway station at Huntingdon provides a fast service to London's King's Cross in about 48 minutes and there is a guided bus route, which runs between Huntingdon and Cambridge with a park and ride site available at St Ives (about 3 miles).
The Forge is situated in a superb location just off the High Street, with southerly views over adjoining paddocks.
