Description

Introducing this breathtaking 18th-Century detached period home situated in the picturesque hamlet of Shelton, Huntingdon. This property blends historical charm with modern comfort, providing an unparalleled living experience for its new owners. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, this home offers peace, privacy, and scenic views in abundance.

Upon entering the home, you’re greeted by a spacious entrance hall/boot room, perfect for kids and muddy dogs! The ground floor comprises three versatile reception rooms, ideal for family living and entertaining. These include a family room/playroom, a formal dining room, and an additional living room with separate seating area, each showcasing period features such as exposed beams and original fireplaces, while also benefiting from large windows that flood the spaces with natural light.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the beautiful kitchen/diner. Designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, it offers ample space to entertain or to enjoy time with the family. Multiple appliances are included, such as the American style fridge/freezer, the dishwasher and the Falcon range cooker. There is also a spacious utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, the property boasts five generously sized bedrooms, each offering its own unique charm. A sixth room is currently utilised as a home office but could easily serve as an additional bedroom if needed. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring stunning views of the surrounding countryside, ample wardrobe space and a lovely en-suite shower room with roll-top bath. There is also a second en-suite and a family bathroom.

The exterior of the property is equally captivating. The house is set on a circa 1/3 acre plot, with wrap-around gardens that are beautifully landscaped to include mature trees, flower beds, and lawned areas. The rear wall garden is completely enclosed and perfect for children and pets. A garden studio/office provides a versatile outdoor space, perfect for working from home or pursuing creative hobbies, all while enjoying incredible views of the countryside.

Additional features include an oversized carport and a spacious in-and-out driveway that offers ample parking for multiple vehicles. The property’s location in Shelton provides a tranquil rural setting with no neighbours, yet it remains within easy reach of nearby villages that offer essential amenities, including shops, schools, and dining options.
