Stow Road, Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen, PE34

An individual, attractive and wonderfully presented detached property located on the outskirts of this popular Village. Very effectively, ‘Barn Cottage’ was designed and constructed to provide all of the benefits of a modern home whilst also offering the feel and character of something much, much older. The ground floor is especially successful, established with an open-plan connection creating a sociable and welcoming environment. The 22ft sitting room provides an impressive main reception space, whilst the superb 22ft kitchen/breakfast space flows seamlessly into a 14ft dining room. The presence of ceiling beams, older style radiators and the cast iron stove in the sitting room then adds a traditional touch. There is also the practicality of both a separate utility room and cloakroom, together with an open inner hallway which adds to levels of space and continuity. More recently, the living space has been added to further with the addition of a garden room. This light, air conditioned room rests under a glazed ceiling lantern and has folding doors that allow it to naturally overflow to the outside and is perfect for use all year around. The upstairs is equally as well cared for and this provides 3 bedrooms in total served by a main bathroom whilst the Master bedroom benefits from bespoke, built-in wardrobes along with an impressively fitted, en-suite bathroom. Outside, the grounds approach 1/3rd on an acre in size and provide an abundance of parking options along with beautiful, enclosed gardens that wrap around to both the side and rear. Altogether, the combination of both inside and outside space blend perfectly. With countryside and river walks on the doorstep and major road networks and direct rail links to Cambridge and London within easy access reach, this is truly an enviable home.
