Description

NESTLED in the HEART of the IDYLLIC CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTRYSIDE VILLAGE of Needingworth, 'THE OLD PRIORY' is a BREATHTAKING GRADE II LISTED PERIOD CHARACTER PROPERTY, built circa 1610, offering a RARE BLEND of HISTORIC CHARM & MODERN ELEGANCE. Spanning an IMPRESSIVE 3,520 sq ft, this EXQUISITE FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOM home sits behind PRIVATE ELECTRIC GATES on a WEST FACING 0.27 of an ACRE PLOT (sts), boasting METICULOUSLY REFURBISHED INTERIORS & a wealth of CHARACTER FEATURES, including EXPOSED BEAMS, INGLENOOK FIREPLACES & stunning GEORGIAN BOW WINDOWS added in the early 18th century.

Steeped in History & originally known as "The Priory," this remarkable property is tied to the legacy of Ramsey Abbey, constructed in the post-Dissolution era of the 1530s when monastic estates were sold. In the 19th century, a front extension along High Street was added, securing its place on the National Heritage List in 1982. Once called "Priory Farm," it even features a unique 1960s nuclear blast shelter in the garden, built by the former Dale family owners. Renamed The Old Priory after their departure, this home is a living piece of Cambridgeshire’s rich heritage.

Just under 2 miles away lies the OUSE FEN NATURE RESERVE, an RSPB-managed wetland masterpiece and one of BRITAIN's FINESTS, nominated by BBC Countryfile Magazine in 2013 as a top nature reserve. Spanning 700 HECTARES (larger than Central Park), it’s a haven of reedbeds, open water pools, and wet grasslands teeming with bitterns, marsh harriers, dragonflies, and otters. Enjoy scenic walks or cycle paths connecting to the historic market town of St Ives.

Perfect for families, the property is 0.2 MILES from the Ofsted “OUTSTANDING” Holywell CofE PRIMARY SCHOOL, ensuring top tier education for young children. The Ofsted “Good” St Ivo Academy is also nearby, offering excellent secondary schooling. Safe, quiet village roads and cycle paths make school runs a breeze.

Directly opposite The Old Priory, the Needingworth bus stop connects to the CAMBRIDGESHIRE GUIDE BUSWAY, providing swift access to St Ives and Cambridge city centre. For broader connectivity, HUNTINGDON TRAIN STATION, under seven miles away, provides DIRECT ACCESS to LONDN KINGS CROSS in approximately 50 minutes.
