You are greeted at Willowdene by an original front door which opens to a
vestibule. Double doors then open to a truly lovely reception room with a bay
window, a log burning stove, stairs leading to the first floor and a
delightful, curved feature wall. The reception room provides direct access to
the sitting room, dining room and kitchen. The stand out reception room of the
house is the formal dining room with its fabulous open fireplace and walk out
bay window with direct access to the garden. Linking the dining room and the
sitting room is an original sliding panelled door which can be opened to
create a fantastic social space. The sitting room also boasts a walk out bay
window with access to the garden, as well as a Victorian style feature
fireplace and access to a traditional styled conservatory.
The good sized kitchen has been fitted in a traditional style and connects
directly to a lovely breakfast room with views over the rear garden. The
kitchen also leads to a utility room which features a sought after, walk - in
pantry. The utility room in turn leads to a versatile boot room suitable for a
variety of uses, a two piece suite cloakroom, and the rear hall with stable
door to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large,
double aspect office overlooking the garden; perfect for someone working from
home or as a play room for a young family.
Upstairs the traditional large landing with sash window to front welcomes you
to the first floor. The landing provides access to four of the bedrooms. The
impressive sized dual aspect principal bedroom boasts a feature corner
fireplace as well as a southerly facing balcony overlooking the rear garden.
Bedroom two is a good sized double bedroom with door to gain access to the
self - contained annex if required. Bedroom three is another pleasant double
room and bedroom four is a large single room or small double. The large family
bathroom is fitted with a four piece suite. A separate WC is located next to
the family bathroom with the first floor accommodation completed by a great
walk in airing cupboard.
The self - contained annex, with its own separate external entrance, is ideal
for guests or perfect as a retreat for relatives either young or old. The
annex consists of a spacious main room full of natural light for a studio or
as a living room with garden views, a three piece suite bathroom, a modern
kitchen/breakfast room and a dual aspect double bedroom.
Willowdene is positioned on a plot measuring approximately 2/3 acre (sts).
Wrought iron gates provide access to an extensive driveway providing ample off
road parking for several vehicles. The driveway extends down to the side of
the property providing vehicular access to the rear of the plot. Located to
the rear of the plot is the detached triple garage and further parking ideal
for storing a caravan, camper van or even river boat for the nearby River
Great Ouse. The wrap around garden is southerly facing to the rear and boasts
an extensive and unusual walled terrace, with feature rose beds, ideal for al
fresco dining. Although Willowdene already offers so much, it still provides
huge potential for further improvements and possible further development
(stp).
Willowdene is uniquely positioned to not only provide walking access to both
St Ives town centre and the Guided Busway to Cambridge, but has great road
access to the nationally important A14 linking Cambridge, Huntingdon, the M11,
M1, A1 and the east coast ports. The town of Huntingdon is only 6 miles away
with its mainline train station offering frequent trains to Kings Cross and St
Pancras in under an hour.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the wonderful
space, charm, and character all offered with this truly magnificent individual
Victorian home.
