A MAGNIFICENT FORMER RECTORY, SEPERATE COTTAGE AND BUILDING LAND ON A PART-MOATED SITE
An impressive, Grade II-listed, 6-bedroom, former Rectory, which comes with the separate Coachman’s Cottage, barns, stables (complete with their original stalls), double garage and glorious south-facing gardens backing onto fields. With 3,700 square feet in the main house and on a part-moated 1.6-acre site, including land that has planning permission for an additional house, The Old Rectory is approached through electric gates and a circular drive that sweeps around a magnificent cedar tree, with the hexagonal spire of the Church of St Denys forming a remarkable backdrop.
The timber-framed cottage, which is, presumably, older than the main house, together with the gardener’s barn and the former coach house and stables, currently used as stores and workshop, is on the opposite side of the main house to the church. As beautiful inside, with its heavily beamed and vaulted ceiling, as it is outside, the cottage provides all manner of options - for family, for renting out, or as an amazing business premises.
Set in the heart of beautiful countryside, it’s easy to forget that Colmworth is within minutes of the A1, only 25 miles from Cambridge, and handily placed about 7 and 8.5 miles respectively from St Neots and Bedford, for fast trains to London from as little as 39 minutes, and for the county town’s world-renowned Harpur Trust private schools. Kimbolton School is just 7.5 miles away. The village is within the catchment area of the popular Kymbrook Primary School (rated Good by Ofsted) and has its own outstanding Puddleducks pre-school and nursery.
Your next-door neighbour, the Church of St Denys, is at the heart of the friendly community, which is fortunate too in their village hall, playing fields and children’s play area, not to mention the country park, to which you can get to within a couple of minutes through your 5-bar gate into the fields at the bottom of your garden. Serious golfers have a challenging course on their doorstep too, the less serious can pitch and putt, or simply relax at the 19th hole.
Set out along one of the ancient paths, passing pond and lake, stream and brook, to the medieval dam and the 15th century Plough at Bolnhurst - one of the finest inns and restaurants in the county within a Sunday stroll of one of its finest houses.
