Thicket Road, Houghton, Cambridgeshire, PE28

The Cedars is a stunning Victorian residence with elegant architecture, located in one of Cambridgeshire’s most sought-after villages. Sat on a plot approaching an acre, it boasts a self contained annexe and outbuildings.

The powered timber gates swing open to unveil the elegant architecture, characterised by large sash windows, ornate fascia boards, and tall chimneys adorned with decorative pots. Retaining the charm of typical period features, the interior showcases meticulously restored ornate cornicing, open fireplaces, and tall skirting boards.

Entering through the generous porch into the entrance lobby, the beautifully presented accommodation unfolds. Double doors lead to the entrance hall, featuring a galleried landing above, parquet flooring, and an arched door opening onto the gardens. The living room, illuminated by three full-height bay windows overlooking the lawns, provides an ideal setting for intimate gatherings or larger events. With two open fireplaces and bay windows, it offers year-round comfort and ambiance. Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining room. It sits alongside a luxurious kitchen breakfast room, complete with integrated appliances and a double-sided slate-clad fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

Upstairs, the six bedrooms are distributed across the first and second floors. The principal suite, with views to the front and rear, is a spacious retreat featuring a dressing area with a fireplace and wood-burning stove, and an exquisite en suite boasting an oversized shower, freestanding bath, and waterproof television. The remaining bedrooms are served by two bathrooms and a cloakroom.

A self-contained annexe offers private accommodation for guests and/or staff, crafted with the same attention to detail as the main house.

Within the grounds, a bespoke summerhouse serves multiple purposes, currently utilised as a gym and office, with a covered veranda.

An oversized garage ensures secure car storage. Lawns wrap around two sides of the property, with the rear facing south and privacy provided by numerous mature specimen trees.

While elegant period features abound, modern technology and comfort have been seamlessly integrated, including security systems, air conditioning in select rooms, and a central media and communication system.

Nestled within a peaceful and private plot, the property enjoys the convenience of a well-served village with pubs, shops, and a National Trust property, along with excellent transport links to Cambridge and London.
