SUMMARY
A striking and individually designed family home set within the highly sought after village of Castor, renowned for its excellent primary school, MICHELIN recommended dining and strong local amenities.
DESCRIPTION
Enjoying views towards the historic village church, the property offers four bedrooms including a superb principal suite, extensive and flexible living space, and a beautifully landscaped, private south facing rear garden of approximately one fifth of an acre.
Situated within the highly sought after village of Castor, this property enjoys a prime position in one of Cambridgeshire's most desirable and well served locations. Castor is particularly favoured for its strong community feel, attractive rural setting and excellent local amenities, including a highly regarded primary school, making it an ideal choice for families.
The village offers an impressive range of social and lifestyle facilities, including the MICHELIN recommended Chubby Castor restaurant, together with two public houses and a café, providing a vibrant yet traditional village atmosphere. Despite its semi rural feel, Castor remains extremely well connected, with excellent access to Peterborough city centre, the A1, and mainline rail services, ensuring convenient links for commuters and onward travel.
Occupying a prominent and attractive position overlooking the historic St Kyneburgha Church, this striking and individual home has been thoughtfully remodelled and extended to create a contemporary yet characterful residence. The design combines a variety of modern materials, including zinc, Rockpanel cladding and rendered elevations, resulting in a visually impressive and highly individual property.Notable features include areas of underfloor heating, an integrated vacuum system, and a striking oak and glazed staircase rising to the first floor. The property enjoys a particularly enviable outlook, with open views across to the church to the front, most impressive from the first floor accommodation, while the rear garden benefits from a sunny south facing aspect and extends to approximately one fifth of an acre.
