Quote GH0600
Situated along the southern bank of the river Ouse in Cambridgeshire, Hemingford Abbots is a beautiful, peaceful village approximately 3 miles east of Huntingdon.
Whether you’re seeking solitude and tranquillity, or the warmth and energy of a close-knit community, Thatched Cottage has it all.
The large driveway is well-maintained and creates a very positive first impression. This valuable feature offers parking for multiple cars as well as accommodating guests.
With over 10,000 sq ft of accommodation including six spacious bedrooms, Thatched Cottage is a great choice for those looking for a comfortable and stylish home, and also offers fantastic potential for those seeking duel/multi-generational living. Whether you are in need of a private space for a family member or a live-in nanny, this home can easily accommodate your requirements.
Entrance
This magnificent home greets you with soaring high ceilings and the majestic grandeur of a sweeping staircase and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The working open fire which shares this space adds warmth as you enjoy the enjoying views of the gardens beyond. Omfort that is truly memorable.
Whether you’re lounging in the formal sitting room, preparing meals in the large kitchen diner which has a snug room attached, or resting in one of the six spacious bedrooms, you’ll be surrounded by this same sense of light and openness.
In addition, the basement provides fantastic additional space away from the main accommodation. The family room could easily be converted into the perfect cinema or snooker room, or perhaps a huge play/ games room with doors out to the garden. This would make the ultimate entertainment zone, perfect for entertaining family and guests or simply to keep the children busy in school holidays. The basement also offers a large laundry room, a really handy walk-in store room, and a wine room.
kitchen
The large open-plan living dining breakfast kitchen is notable highlight and offers plenty of space for cooking and dining. A large island offers a great space for meal preparation and entertaining and a valuable feature for those who like to gather and socialise in the kitchen.
The snug room is a natural walk-through from the kitchen area. It is a cosy and comfortable space enjoying a working open fireplace. It is a perfect setting for relaxing and unwinding and a room for those who value a homey atmosphere and enjoy spending time indoors.
The two rooms combined are incredibly functional and an advantage to those who like practicality and efficiency in their home’s layout.
Swimming pool and leisure suite
For those who like to entertain or enjoy home comforts to relax and exercise - this house is an absolute dream come true. With its amazing indoor swimming pool, changing facilities and shower, you can easily take a dip and then freshen up without ever having to leave your private premises. Doors in the pool room offer seamless indoor-outdoor living, connecting you to the stunning gardens and patio area. With ample space for many people, you can entertain guests and loved ones with ease.
Formal sitting rooms
The three reception rooms on the ground floor are grand and luxurious. The large open fireplaces that furnish two of the rooms and the high ceilings create a sense of elegance and warmth. The large windows and doors leading directly out to the gardens provide beautiful views and an abundance of natural light. These rooms can provide many different uses and are great spaces for both entertaining and relaxation.
First floor
The beautiful, large landing area is bathed in light from the floor to ceiling windows next to the staircase. Soft furnishings add luxurious touches to the vast space.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom is impressive in size and is filled with tasteful furnishings. It offers a separate dressing room complete with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and en-suite with a shower and freestanding roll top bath.
There are three further double bedrooms, including a guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a full en-suite comprising a four-piece suite. There is an additional family bathroom and a separate shower room.
All of the bedrooms are spacious and light with decorous furnishings and beautiful views of the gardens.
Second floor
With the added benefit of a second staircase giving access to the top floor, which is just as beautiful in presentation and appearance as the rest of the house, this floor could easily be used as an annexe for multi-generational living or as separate accommodation for an au-pair or carer.
With two double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom, it has been suggested that the largest bedroom 18’10” x 16’7” could be used as a living room.
the gardens
The gardens of approximately two acres are a haven of peace and tranquillity that offer complete privacy and is separated into various zones - including more formal areas, and a large patio area that is ideal for summer gatherings.
Conclusion
It’s this unique combination of versatility and comfort that makes this property truly special. No matter who you are or what your needs may be, you’ll find that this house has something to offer.
The village
The village is peaceful and very pretty. There is a public house ‘The Axe and Compass’ which is a great favourite with the locals and serves traditional British pub food.
The pub is situated in a thatched 15th-century house and enjoys picturesque views of the surrounding area from its garden. The ‘Axe and Compass’ is also dog friendly, which will be much-welcomed news for anyone who enjoys a spot of pub lunch after a dog walk or just a great place for meeting other members of the community.

viewing arrangements:
By appointment only. Call or text Gavin Human during or after office hours.
Remote viewing tour:
Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and traveling some distance.
Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts you firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange an in person viewing at a later date.
Have you got A house to sell:
If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you. Please call Gavin Human for a free, confidential valuation and marketing review with no obligation.
