Superbly renovated Grade II* listed town house
Description
Court House is a fine Grade II* listed townhouse which dates back to the 17th and 18th Centuries. The classically proportioned front elevation features double hung sash windows with slim glazing bars and a panelled entrance door with classical triangular broken pediment together with a “cartway” (now electrically operated) providing access to a garage and inner courtyard to the rear. The house has beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors with a second floor within the front range. The overall floor area extends to over 6,000 square feet added to which is the garaging all shown on the attached floor plans.
The house underwent a comprehensive and complete refurbishment prior to the current owner’s tenure which was carried out to the highest standards. The vendors have upgraded many of the lights to LED and there is an integrated sound system in most of the house. There are two fine reception rooms flanking the stone under floor heated hallway at the front of the house. The dining room (to the right) features painted panelling, deep cornicing and wide oak floorboards with cut clenched nails providing a lovely warmth underfoot both to this room and the drawing room opposite. A bright study is approached via a short flight of steps and beneath this room is a cellar with room for wine storage. The family room in the rear (left) wing has a wide Inglenook style fireplace with massive bressummer built into which is a former cooking range. This room and the kitchen beyond also have underfloor heating. The kitchen is a delight and has recently been refitted with a superb range of painted units from JS Designs in Olney with a large central island, adjoining breakfast bar, quartz worktops, Quooker hot water tap, a built in Nexus range cooker with a further multi function oven and warming drawer in addition to a number of other integrated appliances. There is also a useful “larder” cupboard and space for everyday dining. Beyond the kitchen is a large shelved walk-in larder/pantry, a boot room and cloakroom/w.c.
The closed string staircase at the end of the hallway leads up to the first floor. The main bedroom suite occupies the whole of the wing over the kitchen/family room and has a large dressing room with walk in wardrobe, a vaulted bedroom with dormers overlooking the courtyard below and a beautifully fitted en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, freestanding oval bath, twin bowl washbasins and a separate shower enclosed within a curved wall at the far end. There are two en-suite bedrooms to the front each with tall ceilings, along with a separate cloakroom and airing cupboard. In the right wing there is a large split level bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are situated beyond the end of this room and could potentially function as a separate annexe with three double rooms, one at first floor level and two further rooms below with an adjacent bathroom with walk-in shower. There is a door to the courtyard providing separate access as required.
On the second floor over the front section of the house is a large vaulted multifunctional attic/games room with wide floorboards currently used as playroom, sitting and music room with dormers overlooking the High Street.
Outside
The house sits directly on the High Street and has an electrically operated pair of double doors which open into a covered archway which provides one garage space and a place for bins etc. Beyond this is a paved courtyard with exterior lighting providing a super space for outdoor entertaining. Under part of the right hand range there is a log store, two store rooms, a comprehensively fitted plant room containing the LPG fired central heating boiler and pumps to ensure even pressure to all bathrooms. The utility room is adjacent to this and there is also a brick floored single garage. The paved courtyard, sheltered between the two wings, leads to the first walled garden which is enclosed and features exterior lighting and paths together with a central lawn. A door in one corner leads into the second larger (secret) garden which is partly walled, laid mainly to lawn, with a seating area and some trees.
There are very few houses fronting the High Street in Kimbolton that have large gardens and so Court House is particularly unusual in this respect backing onto the Castle grounds.
Location
Kimbolton is an attractive village/small town most famous for Kimbolton Castle which dates back to 1200. Famous as the place where Katherine of Aragon died after her divorce from Henry VIII, it is now a well regarded unisex day and boarding school for ages 4-18 years.
The centre of Kimbolton features two rows of mainly Georgian fronted houses facing into the High Street which was originally a market place and venue for a series of “fairs” which continue to this day.
There are good local facilities for everyday needs including a post office, butcher, convenience store, pharmacy, medical centre and 2 public houses. More comprehensive shopping facilities are available at Huntingdon, St Neots, Bedford and the newly opened Rushden Lakes.
The university city of Cambridge is approximately 26 miles to the south east where there are comprehensive cultural, recreational and shopping facilities along with its world famous University colleges
Mainline rail service into London’s Kings Cross are from Huntingdon and St Neots with services from 47 minutes.
Other independent schools are available at Bedford, Rugby, Stamford, Uppingham and Oundle. There are local schools in the area including a primary academy in Kimbolton and secondary schools nearby.
The A14 is approximately 5 miles away which leads to the A1, M1 & M6 to the north and north west and to the M11, M25 and London to the South East.
