Description
At the heart of the village, this family home offers accommodation extending
to 5682 sq ft and is set within the most stunning, landscaped gardens that
measure approximately three acres. Glebe House is a well loved home that's
been in the current family for over a generation. The driveway opens up to a
gravel courtyard and to the stone pillared porch that encompasses the front
door leading to the entrance hall. Two receptions lead off with ornate feature
fireplaces, dual aspect views and floor to ceiling bay windows. The formal
dining room is set around a feature fireplace and offers views across the
tiered lawns. The kitchen comprises of wall and floor units, integrated double
oven, inset hob and plumbing for a dishwasher. Just off the kitchen is the
laundry room with plumbing for a washing machine. The rear lobby and boot room
give access to the rear staircase and the ground floor bathroom. The study
offers valuable space and an additional kitchen area is located beside the
study. The ground floor accommodation is completed by two cloakrooms and
access to the cellar.
From the main staircase you are led to an open landing space to seven bedrooms
with five of the bedrooms offering built in storage. The principal bedroom
benefits from its own dressing room and en suite bathroom which includes a
sunken jacuzzi bath. All bedrooms - five double and two single - offer a
significant amount of period charm including high ceilings and sash windows.
The first floor accommodation is completed by two further bathrooms and a
separate cloakroom. From the first floor you have direct stairwell access to
the attic space.
Glebe House is surrounded by gardens which extend approximately three acres.
The gated entrance leads you into the grounds with an extensive drive offering
generous parking, alongside two garages. Attached to the garage is the old hay
barn with loft, which still has the remnants of its old stabling and cart
store, offering a fantastic opportunity to convert it in to an annexe STP. The
gardens are awash with mature and fruit trees creating a high level of privacy
for the home. A large paved patio terrace leads off the main house and sits at
the head of a three tiered lawn that creates an entertaining space. Further
large lawns surround the home that are enclosed with a mixture of box hedging,
a small copse and herbaceous borders.
Location
The village of Eaton Socon is on the edge of bustling St Neots, lying to the
west of the River Great Ouse with its willow - shaded river banks and pretty
bridges spanning the water. Its unusual name is believed to derive from an Old
English word meaning waterside settlement and soke, a Norman local government
area.
Eaton Socon offers several pubs, a Tesco Express, a weir with a riverside inn,
a village green with plenty of open green space and for nature lovers there
are miles of countryside and riverside routes nearby, ideal for dog walkers,
ramblers and joggers alike. It is also 1. 8 miles away from the market town of
St. Neots, with various cafes and eateries as well as further shopping
facilities including a Waitrose and M&S. Excellent shopping facilities are
available in Cambridge city centre, approximately 20. 6 miles away.
Bounded by the A1 and A428, it is perfect for commuters. St Neots provides all
the amenities anyone could require, including shops, schools and leisure
activities. Regular fast trains run from its station reaching London Kings
Cross in forty minutes.
