High Street, Buckden, Huntingdon, PE19

This handsome Grade II Listed Georgian residence is fabulously proportioned and prominently positioned opposite the historic Buckden Towers. The house offers substantial accommodation arranged over three floors and retains many original character elements with some notable fireplaces and charming period features. The property has been much improved by the current owner with bespoke kitchen/breakfast room and recently re-fitted sanitary ware. The house presents beautifully throughout and has a lovely aesthetic both inside and out.

Overall the property provides four double bedrooms with two bathrooms and three generous reception rooms with impressive high ceilings. The accommodation is centred around a lovely sized kitchen/breakfast room with AGA, vaulted ceilings and butchers block work surfaces. The kitchen choice compliments the character of the house perfectly.

The gardens are private and mature with a beautiful terrace/seating area, swim spa and box hedging arrangements. Double gates access the driveway to the rear sufficient for several vehicles. There is a lovely brick built barn and a recently built garden room with a fitted kitchen, decked terrace and bi-fold doors. This space offers a versatile use and adds a more contemporary dimension to the Georgian architecture and features.

Buckden remains one of our most sought after villages and this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of its more notable Georgian residences. Viewing essential and by appointment only.
