Little BarfordSt. Neots, Cambridgeshire, PE19 6YE

Dating from around 1865, The Old Rectory is a substantial property built of Cambridgeshire brick under a clay plain tiled roof. The house was comprehensively restored in the late 1990s with particular emphasis on the period details and it has well proportioned, light rooms with tall ceilings which flow well.

Further improvements have been carried out in more recent years which include the installation of very high-quality double-glazed timber sash windows, and more recent internal changes have resulted in the principal reception room having been further enhanced by opening it into an adjacent room creating a wonderful light and spacious room. The fantastic vaulted sitting area near the kitchen connects to the garden via the rear verandah and incorporates a mezzanine floor approached via a spiral staircase from the rear hall together with an adjoining utility room.

From the panelled entrance door, the wide entrance hall provides direct access to the main reception rooms. The large drawing room has a south facing bay overlooking the gardens with an open fireplace, and the dining room also has an open fireplace and exposed wooden flooring. The stunning Farmhouse style kitchen has a four-oven Aga cooker (not oil fired), a central island, Limestone flooring, and a range of wall and floor mounted shaker style units with Silestone worktops, a glazed butler sink together with other integrated appliances including a dishwasher.

At first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room together with an adjacent former bedroom which has been fitted out as a dressing room. Three of the five double bedrooms have adjacent shower rooms and there is also a large family bathroom with a central free-standing bath.

The conversion of the coach house into subsidiary accommodation has resulted in a large reception room which has been used as a home cinema and a second room, a well-proportioned gym.

The accommodation is shown in full detail in the attached floor plans.

The property has an in-out drive with remote controlled electric gates to the southern entrance with entry phone security. A winding shingled drive passes through the front garden which features several mature specimen trees including a Cedar of Lebanon, Wellingtonia and fir trees. The rear part-walled garden has been redesigned with some planting, deep flower beds, wild flower areas, further mature trees and clipped Yew hedging.

The rear veranda provides a shady place to sit and enjoy it all. A five-bar gate to the side of the house leads into a courtyard with barbecue area incorporating an outdoor sink, and from here there is access to the converted coach house. To the rear of this there is a cart lodge for the parking of several cars. In all about 2.37 acres.
