This magnificent, luxurious, property is located in the much-desired village of Hemingford Grey along a quiet road adjacent to the local nature reserve; visited by nightingales in springtime. It is a property designed and built by its owner to an exceptional high specification just over two years ago.After receiving planning permission to demolish the bungalow which had stood on this site, plus having the necessary skills and experience, the owner took great care to design a property sympathetic with its location whilst, at the same time, building a beautiful, spacious, family home containing exacting levels of environmental and innovative elements. The house displays the very best in such features including high standards of insulation, alongside its state-of-the-art underfloor heating system. The large welcoming living space is mainly open plan with clearly defined areas for relaxed family living and dining. The magnificent kitchen is fitted every with conceivable appliance, whilst its large island presents a place for relaxed chat, often during meal preparation. In addition, areas spin off from the large living space including a designated cinema room. Another innovation is the wonderful floor to ceiling sliding doors perfect on summer days. The owner also added a self contained annexe which is ideal for independent living, or as an overspill for visiting guests. The vibrant village of Hemingford Grey is a delight with many social activities taking place, not least of which is the annual regatta on the river a joint activity with the neighbouring village of Hemingford Abbots. There is a very popular primary school, together with a well stocked village shop, plus an award winning pub which serves excellent food, and also its active, sociable, sports complex. The market town of St Ives is minutes away and is where large supermarkets are located. Road and rail links here are exceptional. From St Ives there is a guided busway providing a trouble free journey into the centre of Cambridge, plus the recently updated A14 is very convenient to access, with nearby Huntingdon being where the main line station is located offering an efficient service into the capital and beyond.This is, indeed, a special family home in an unbeatable location and one that is ready for new owners to unpack their bags and enjoy life in such surroundings.Village Information
The Hemingfords (Abbots and Grey) are situated along the banks of the River Great Ouse and are well-known as a very picturesque and sought-after Cambridgeshire village. Much of the villages are in a Conservation Area with many thatched cottages and barns and other architecturally important buildings such as the Grade I listed church with its spire being a landmark for miles around the Ouse valley. Hemingford Abbots has excellent facilities: across the road from the "Axe & Compass" pub is the purpose-built Village Hall and playing field. The playing field with open grassland is equipped with modern children's play equipment. The village shares many facilities with neighbouring Hemingford Grey: village shop, post office, primary school and sports pitches and the award winning "Cock" pub. Between the two villages there are a variety of clubs, societies and activities such as the annual Regatta and biennial Flower Festival. Transport
The Hemingfords sit between the towns of Huntingdon and St Ives where a wider selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities are available. The newly modified A14 provides quick and easy access into Cambridge and links to the A1, M11 and the national motorway network.
