Description

WellingtonWise is proud to bring to market this wonderful three-bedroom thatched cottage located in the characterful cul-de-sac of Rideaway Drive in the sought after riverside village of Hemingford Abbots. Situated in one of 'Britain’s poshest villages' (as voted by The Telegraph in 2026) this beautifully kept and much-loved home is a rare delight. Nestled near the heart of the village and close to the Axe & Compass, St Margaret’s Church and a vibrant community hall, this unique residence truly warrants a personal viewing.

The front of the property has bags of kerb appeal with an attractive enclosed front garden well stocked with a host of colourful flowers and shrub borders. A timber gate and path lead to the front door. The entrance hall is spacious with stairs leading to the first floor and doors leading to the dining room to the right and the double aspect living room to the left. The living room is a lovely light room with views over both gardens. The dining room seamlessly opens to the fitted kitchen, through to the utility room, and on to the useful work from home office/study at the rear of the property.

The first-floor landing is a generous size with views over the rear garden and towards Hemingford Abbots village centre and the church. The principal bedroom is a spacious double room with built in wardrobe and bright southerly aspect to the front. The second bedroom is also a generous size double room with the same southerly aspect and built in wardrobe. Bedroom three is a smaller double being 11' 5" in length. The modern white family bathroom completes the internal accommodation of this charming home.

The generously sized rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a wealth of trees, mature shrubs and attractive flower borders. The garden enjoys a large amount of sun as well as shady spots for relaxing after a long day. There is private access on foot to Royal Oak Lane to the rear.

Well placed for commuting, with straightforward access to both London and Cambridge, Hemingford Abbots is the best of both worlds - quiet country village life with city connections when you need them. Properties like this don’t usually stay on the market for long!


“In an increasingly fractious and challenging world, Hemingford Abbots offers a real sense of peace, calm and social community. I was fortunate enough to grow up in this village and returned in the late 90s after many years living in London and elsewhere. Happily, the thatched houses, village pub, 14th century church, biennial flower festival, annual regatta and beautiful surroundings were much as I had left them. With cafes and essential shopping in nearby Hemingford Grey and St Ives, and easily accessible road and rail networks (30-minutes by car/bus to Cambridge; five-minutes to main line station), it is great to get away – but it is always so much nicer to come home…”
