Description

This exclusive four bedroom detached residence is located in the beautifully secluded location of Monks Wood, nestled on a 2 acres plot surrounded by 450 acres of ancient woodland and national nature reserve. This property is a rare find and would be ideal for any buyers who are looking to 'get away from it all' but still be within easy reach of ideal road and rail links to Cambridge, London (50 minutes by rail) or Peterborough and the north. This truly is a lifestyle choice, where the natural surroundings and nature of the woodland border this very special home.

Built in 2005, this bespoke four-bedroom home offers over 3500 square foot of accommodation including the double garaging, cart lodge and loft room. The very well-presented accommodation comprises of a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom, a generous living room with impressive inglenook style fireplace housing a wood burning stove, double doors through to the dining room which is and ideal size for entertaining and family get togethers. The focal point and highlight of the ground floor is the kitchen/breakfast room opening to the naturally lit garden room. This is where the owners spend a great deal of their time, overlooking the garden and cooking with the feature Aga oven. The useful study/work from home office and the generous utility room complete the ground floor accommodation. The first floor comprises of four double bedrooms (formally five bedrooms) with the principal bedroom and guest bedroom both benefiting from en-suite shower rooms. There is also a well-appointed family bathroom to conclude the first floor.

There is a solar panel system installed on the roof of the double garage which produces 3.5 KWH, this provides an annual income to the current owners/buyers which covers the majority of the utility running cost for this home.

Monks wood is located a short drive from Abbotts Ripton which boasts a Gastro style public house as well as a local shop and post office. The location enjoys easy access to the A14/A1/M11 and Huntingdon station is a short drive away with its mainline service to St Pancras in under an hour.

OWNER INSIGHT
The owner says: "The property is a paradise for anyone who loves nature, being bordered on 3 sides by a private part of the 450 acre nature reserve. As a result the grounds take advantage of all the natural elements of the wood. It includes numerous trees, predominantly Oak and Ash but also 2 Wild Service trees, indicators of ancient woodland. Primroses and bluebells line the garden in the springtime and this year we discovered about a dozen bee orchids in the lawn. The trees and hedgerows are alive with the songs of birds such as blackcaps and chiffchaff in early summer and woodpeckers and nuthatches visit our bird feeders. In high summer woodland butterflies including the Silver Washed Fritillary and Purple Emperor can be seen and in the autumn Jays and Squirrels squabble over acorns and hazel nuts. Deer occasionally visits us, particularly in the winter when food for them is scarce. We will miss all of this greatly."
