Offers considered £850,000 - £900,000

There are houses that tick boxes, and then there are homes that simply stop you in your tracks. Venandi House firmly belongs in the latter category.

Occupying a plot of approximately 0.25 acres (STS) on the edge of the sought-after village of Pidley, this remarkable self-build home enjoys uninterrupted views across open Cambridgeshire countryside stretching for miles. From sunrise over the fields to spectacular sunsets from the garden, the setting is every bit as impressive as the house itself.

Built and finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the property extends to approximately 2,731 sq ft and showcases a specification rarely found locally, including a stunning German-designed Beckermann kitchen, bespoke dressing room, cinema room, CAT-wired network infrastructure, solar and battery storage system, air conditioning and a host of energy-efficient technologies.

The welcoming entrance hall immediately creates a sense of space and quality, enhanced by the striking galleried landing above. A bespoke fitted storage and boot room area has been thoughtfully incorporated into the hallway, providing stylish everyday practicality whilst creating an impressive first impression for visitors. To one side sits a substantial study measuring 15’1 x 11’0, ideal for those working from home, whilst opposite is a dedicated cinema and games room measuring 11’8 x 11’6 complete with bespoke media cabinetry and feature electric fireplace.

The true heart of the home is the stunning Beckermann kitchen and dining room measuring an impressive 28’11 x 19’6. Designed as a space to gather, entertain and enjoy everyday family life, the kitchen centres around a substantial island with breakfast seating and is complemented by premium integrated appliances, wine storage and generous preparation space. The combination of contemporary cabinetry, striking worktops and countryside views creates a room that is as practical as it is impressive. Full-height glazing and sliding doors flood the space with natural light and create a seamless connection between the home and garden beyond.

A separate living room measuring 18’7 x 11’8 provides a more intimate retreat and benefits from air conditioning offering both heating and cooling.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with a dedicated utility room and separate plant room both accessed through a hidden door and ground floor cloakroom all discreetly positioned away from the main living spaces.

Upstairs, the galleried landing serves four genuine double bedrooms.

The principal suite is particularly impressive, extending to over 20 feet in length and enjoying elevated views across the surrounding countryside. Complementing the bedroom is a luxurious dressing room fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room and an additional adjoining room currently utilised as storage but equally suited as a private office, gym space or nursery.

Bedroom two is another generous double and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, whilst bedrooms three and four are both excellent-sized doubles served by a stylish family bathroom.

Throughout the property, the attention to detail is evident. Bespoke fitted storage, contemporary sanitary ware, large-format tiling, quality flooring and carefully selected finishes combine to create a home that feels both luxurious and highly functional.

Outside, the property is approached via a substantial gravel driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. The current owners have future-proofed the plot with ample space available for the construction of a double garage, subject to the necessary permissions.

The south-facing rear garden has been designed to maximise the exceptional setting, offering extensive entertaining terraces, a covered seating area, dedicated fire pit and generous lawn. Whether hosting family gatherings or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the countryside backdrop, it is a space that is difficult to leave.

Beyond its appearance, Venandi House is also highly efficient. The home benefits from a 7.2kW solar array comprising 16 panels, 11kW battery storage, 3.6kW inverter, air source hot water system, infrared heating throughout, EV charging point and CAT wired network infrastructure. Air conditioning units provide additional heating and cooling to both the principal bedroom and living room.

For buyers seeking a substantial modern home with outstanding energy credentials, breathtaking views and a level of finish rarely found on the open market, Venandi House represents a truly special opportunity.
