Description
This individual architect-designed residence offers contemporary living with stunning natural light, set in 1.87 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. With a west-facing rear garden, extensive outbuildings, and scope for a self-contained annexe, it’s a rare opportunity combining space, flexibility, and design.
Inside, the home is flooded with natural light from expansive windows throughout. The entrance hall welcomes you with practical cloak storage and an adjoining cloakroom. From here, you step into a striking open-plan snug, featuring a dramatic double-height window, a spiral staircase with galleried landing, and a charming brick fireplace with wood-burning stove.
Bifold doors create a seamless connection between the snug, dining room, and kitchen—perfect for family life and entertaining. The dining area is enhanced by a walk-out bay window and pitched glass roof, offering wonderful views of the garden. The kitchen is supported by a large walk-in pantry and a separate utility room, ensuring everyday functionality.
The generous sitting room is ideal for hosting large gatherings, with two full-height windows framing picturesque views over the rear garden.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite includes a private dressing area, luxurious en suite, and spacious bedroom. Three additional bedrooms are served by two further en suites and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the property is set behind mature hedging with a sweeping gravel driveway providing ample parking. The substantial outbuilding includes a studio with a reception room and office which are easily adaptable into a self-contained annexe if desired. Additional outbuildings include a double garage and workshop.
The grounds are a real highlight, featuring a sandstone patio perfect for al fresco dining, expansive lawns, and an ornamental pond. Beyond the formal garden lies a wooded area and orchard, backing onto open fields, offering peace, privacy, and a haven for wildlife.
Seller Insight
“It was the light, the peace and the space that drew us here nearly 45 years ago,” say the owners of this traditionally-styled home on the edge of a small Cambridgeshire village. “We worked with architects to design something timeless and practical, a house rooted in its setting, using top-quality materials and designed to last.”
Built in 1982 on former De Ramsey Estate land, the house takes inspiration from traditional yeoman’s homes, constructed from hand-made Bedfordshire bricks and reclaimed roof tiles, with bespoke hardwood windows and doors. “We wanted it to be beautiful but also functional, comfortable to live in throughout the seasons. The handmade sliding partitions downstairs give flexibility: open plan when you want it, or separate rooms for privacy, warmth or quiet.” Set across two floors, the owners add, “The layout works perfectly for guests and family alike, and with three immersion heaters no one is ever short of hot water.”
Living spaces flow beautifully, from the light-filled dining room with bay window and patio doors to the practical kitchen and adjoining storerooms. “A separate annexe has been adapted to create a library and offices, with underfloor heating, a woodburning stove and water supply already in place,” explain the owners. “The study, with its spiral staircase and gallery above, is one of my favourite spaces.”
Outside, the grounds have been carefully nurtured to encourage wildlife. “We planted native trees to create shade and shelter, and now the garden is full of birds, butterflies, and mammals, even otter, polecat, deer and badger. We’ve captured 30 species on our cameras over the years. It’s incredibly peaceful.” Two ponds, one natural, draw kingfishers, sparrowhawks and owls, while sunsets and starlight bring their own quiet drama. “It’s dark enough here to see the stars properly. A neighbour has a telescope, and we’re careful with our lights so as not to spoil their view.”
Beyond the grounds of Seaton House, the owners note, “The wider village community is close-knit and welcoming and there’s a strong spirit here, people look out for each other. We’ve loved the WI, the gardening club, and the lunch groups.” Local amenities include a nursery school, a celebrated farm shop, and a popular gastro-pub. The nearby village of Abbots Ripton offers a primary school and an excellent post office and store. “It’s rural, but incredibly convenient for Huntingdon, Cambridge and London via fast trains or the guided busway.”
