Seller Insight
This beautiful, spacious family home is quietly tucked away at the end of a peaceful lane within the heart of the vibrant village of Ellington, just a few miles from Huntingdon and close to excellent transport links.
“We lived nearby and were looking for a larger family home. We viewed many properties, but this one stood out with its generous size, fabulous setting, wrap-around garden, ample parking, and superb access to both road and rail. It’s also within easy reach of excellent schooling, Buckden Primary and Kimbolton School in particular, with dedicated school buses from the village, including services to Spaldwick and Hinchingbrooke.”
“Built to an individual design in 1983, the house needed some care when we arrived. Over the years, we’ve lovingly improved and refined it, creating a flexible, practical layout perfect for family life. There’s space for us to work from home and for our children to study or enjoy their own interests. Light floods into the house and, with our main living spaces opening directly onto the patio, we’ve truly embraced the joy of indoor-outdoor living.”
“The garden is one of our favourite features, mature and secluded, with multiple places to relax or entertain. We especially enjoy the large patio and the pergola at the far end of the garden, perfect for winding down at the end of the day or watching visiting wildlife.”
“Ellington has a strong community spirit, with events throughout the year, and a community bus service into nearby Huntingdon, where the mainline rail station is located. We’re also just a stone’s throw from Grafham Water, ideal for sailing, walking, and outdoor adventures.”
“It’s been a much-loved family home, and now it's time for the next chapter. We hope the new owners will enjoy everything this special place has to offer as much as we have.”
