With far reaching views over open farmland, this immaculately presented and improved home offers over 3,100 square feet of flexible accommodation. London is within easy reach via nearby Huntingdon Train Station, while Cambridge is a commutable drive.
Double doors open onto the striking entrance hall with a split staircase leading to the galleried landing. The open plan lounge/dining room has oak flooring, a brick built fireplace with wood burning stove and two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the south facing rear garden. The kitchen, designed and fitted by Plain English, includes granite worksurfaces and a central island with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. There is an internal door leading through to the utility with ample storage and a cloakroom. From the utility there is a door leading out to the garden. The large study is ideal for those working from home and could easily be transformed into a cosy snug or family room.
The first floor has an impressive galleried landing with access to the principal bedroom, two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. Stairs lead to the second floor and to bedrooms four and five. All five bedrooms are dual aspect with lovely countryside views. The principal bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower and twin handbasins.

The landscaped plot of circa 1.53 acres is accessed via the gated sweeping gravel drive with turning circle which leads to the brick built detached double garage and a detached studio. The grounds are particularly special with an abundance of mature specimen trees, large lawned areas, well stocked borders, an ornamental pond, all providing a haven for wildlife. The large terrace extends across the width of the house and sweeps round to the side of the home leading to a dining area with a pergola and lovely garden and countryside views.
Seller Insight
Myfanwy is a truly unique and charming family home set in a beautiful private plot of approximately 1.53 acres. Built by the current owners in 1997, the property boasts incredibly well-appointed rooms throughout and large windows that allow natural light to pour in from every direction. “We initially fell in love with the fenland landscape more than 30 years ago,” say the owners, “with its big horizons, peace and sense of space. A decade later we built our dream home here.”
“We wanted to create a bright, airy, well-proportioned space in which our children could grow and thrive. It was important to us the bedrooms were large enough for everyone to have their own space, with the living accommodation laid out to be a sociable, open gathering place at the heart of the house. The resulting home is ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike.”
The house itself sits in the middle of the generous plot, with established gardens all around. “The garden is our pride and joy,” say the owners, “planted with free-flowing herbaceous borders and shrubberies, with over a hundred mostly mature trees, and a colourful melange of flora. The ornamental pond is edged with reeds and irises, while apple trees and greenhouses provide us with home grown produce. Different vistas and aspects of the house can be enjoyed from various parts of the garden. The sunsets and sunrises are amazing too. We have been lucky to share our space with a huge range of wildlife, including deer, owls, hares, foxes, kestrels, red kites and plenty of other forna. Being part of the ‘big horizon country’, we feel very connected to the changing rhythm of the seasons here, as nothing blocks our view of the sky and the countryside around us.”
Just three miles from the village of Warboys, the property is ideally situated to enjoy the best of both worlds, being peaceful and serene yet within easy reach of local amenities and larger towns. “There are shops, pubs, supermarkets and Post Offices close by in Warboys and Chatteris,” say the owners, “while Cambridge is just a few miles away for its picturesque architecture, college gardens, punting and a wide range of shopping and entertainment. Huntingdon station is just 15 minutes’ drive away for direct trains to London in under an hour. Coming out of the capital after a long day, this really is a rural idyll where one can escape the hubbub and be immersed in the peace and tranquillity the beautiful gardens and lovely house provide.”
“The large L-shaped living space at the heart of the house with its wood burner radiates heat and warmth in winter, while light streams in through the windows and bi-fold doors in summer. Whichever way you look in this room, there are lovely views of the garden.”
“The terrace is a wonderful place to be on a warm summer’s evening, sitting enjoying a glass of wine, soaking up the late sun and cleansing the soul.”
“Having built this house and loved it enormously for 25 years, we shall miss everything about it – in many ways it is in our DNA – from the elegant interiors to the beautiful mature gardens, from the space and peace of the location to the wildlife which share our little oasis with us.”
