Why this property will seduce you

Private Setting: Secluded lakeside oasis with mature gardens.
Unique Architecture: Hexagonal living room and master bedroom offering distinct character.
Outdoor Amenities: Heated pool and outdoor kitchen for summer entertaining.

Waters Edge is an exceptional residence occupying 0.71 acres of wonderfully private grounds in the sought-after village of Hemingford Grey. Discreetly positioned behind electric gates and approached via a large gravel driveway, the property immediately creates a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, with mature trees, expansive lawns and established planting creating an oasis that feels completely removed from the outside world. The current owners purchased the property and undertook a substantial extension and redesign, creating a beautifully considered home that combines generous modern living with distinctive architectural character. Extending to approximately 2,820 sq ft, the accommodation is introduced by an impressive entrance hall with a striking galleried landing above, setting the tone for the individual character found throughout the house. At the heart of the property is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, with stone work surfaces and generous proportions making it an ideal space for both relaxed family life and entertaining. The ground floor also provides a particularly characterful hexagonal sitting room, where the proportions create a wonderful sense of space and individuality, together with a wood burning stove adding to its charm. A separate snug provides a more informal retreat, while the study offers an excellent dedicated space for working from home, complemented by a useful utility room and boot room. Upstairs, the impressive hexagonal principal bedroom provides a wonderful private retreat and incorporates a dressing room and en suite facilities. From the bedroom, glimpses towards the lake behind the property can be enjoyed through the mature trees, particularly during the winter months when the foliage is less dense. Three further bedrooms and additional bathroom facilities provide excellent accommodation for family and guests. Outside, the property becomes particularly impressive. Large areas of lawn are framed by mature trees, providing a great level of privacy and ensuring that the property is not overlooked. A substantial terrace wraps around the rear of the house and leads towards the heated outdoor swimming pool, creating a wonderful setting for summer entertaining. Positioned alongside the pool is a dedicated outdoor kitchen, making this an enviable space for parties, long lunches and relaxed family gatherings, while allowing the gardens to become a true extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months. The grounds also include productive vegetable beds and a wealth of mature planting, while the lake situated to the rear brings an abundance of wildlife and adds to the peaceful, natural character of the setting. A substantial triple garage provides excellent garaging and storage, with a large room above which has previously been used as an office and offers considerable flexibility for those working from home, creating a studio or requiring additional recreational space. A separate garden store provides further useful storage. The combination of the beautifully redesigned accommodation, distinctive architectural features, exceptional privacy, extensive gardens, heated swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and additional garaging makes Waters Edge a particularly rare proposition. Situated within the picturesque village of Hemingford Grey, an area renowned for its attractive village setting along the banks of the River Great Ouse, the property also benefits from the excellent village amenities including village shops, post office, primary schooling, sports facilities and well-regarded village pub. The surrounding countryside and river valley provide an outstanding environment for walking and outdoor pursuits, while Huntingdon and St Ives are both within easy reach for a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. With Cambridge accessible via the A14 and Huntingdon railway station providing fast services to London King's Cross, the location also offers an excellent balance between rural living and connectivity. Waters Edge is ultimately a home that offers much more than generous accommodation; it provides a wonderfully private lifestyle setting where sophisticated family living, entertaining and an appreciation of the outdoors come together in a truly memorable way. Seller Insight
Waters Edge has been our home for the past 34 years. What first drew us here was its incredible location, right beside the lake, along with the huge potential. Over the years, we extended the property and trebled its size, creating a home that has truly been designed around the way we live, relax and spend time together. Since living here, we have transformed almost every part of the property. We added a swimming pool, completely landscaped the gardens and created a wonderful outdoor living and kitchen area. One of the things we have always loved most is how light the house feels. The design is full of character. From the quirky hexagonal lounge and master bedroom, which are always a talking point, to the gallery hallway, there is a real sense of individuality throughout. It's perfect for open-plan family living and entertaining, while still offering quieter, tucked-away spaces.
We have particularly loved the convenience of having two kitchens, which has been invaluable when hosting. There is a wonderful flow between indoors and out, and every part of the house has been carefully considered, with plenty of storage and practical touches to make family life easier. Perhaps surprisingly, one of our favourite rooms in the house is the hallway. It is such a large, welcoming space and has truly become the hub of our home. With the wood burner going, we have spent so much time there together as a family. It connects all of the rooms and creates such a sociable atmosphere. The garden is also one of the things I will miss most. Looking out over the lake, with the garden wrapping around the house, we are lucky enough to enjoy both beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house and garden are filled with sunshine throughout the day, and there is something very special about hearing the geese on the lake. We have hosted countless celebrations here, including our daughter's 30th birthday, complete with live music and food vans. The house and grounds lend themselves so beautifully to entertaining. More importantly, though, this has been a real family home. It has always been somewhere our children's friends have always felt welcome which we have loved to witness over the years. The community here is also something very special. The pavilion is a wonderful asset, the Greyhouse is fantastic and has everything you could need on your doorstep and the annual regatta is such a brilliant event. Being beside the lake brings so many opportunities for beautiful walks. What I think I will miss most is the sunshine. There is always a feeling of light and warmth in this home, and that is something that has meant so much to us. It has been the backdrop to 34 wonderful years of family life and we can only hope its next family will love it and make it their own just as much as we have. Village Information

Set in a peaceful and idyllic location with views over the neighbouring church and river, this period residence features well-presented accommodation with good ceiling height and a rich history. The two principal reception rooms are dual aspect and offer wonderful views of the garden and charming inglenook fireplaces. The kitchen has been sympathetically extended with a breakfast room, flooding the space with natural light and connecting the indoors and outdoors. Two staircases provide access to the first floor and study space. Upstairs, the four double bedrooms are all dual aspect, with most overlooking the garden and/or the river and church. The principal bedroom and second bedroom are particularly spacious and full of character. Two bathrooms serve the bedrooms. The very private and beautiful gardens complement the charming rear facade perfectly. Well-stocked borders sit alongside lawns, paths, and patios. A substantial wooden pergola draped in fragrant climbers is a wonderful spot for entertaining and relaxing. The large garage with an integral door provides parking and utility space. Seller Insight Built in the mid-1500s, The Old Cottage and surrounding land was once owned by renowned artist, Walter Dendy Sadler, and has featured in some of his paintings. He designed the gardens himself which, to this day, retain the same infrastructure in the flowerbeds and trees. We stood in the garden and were struck by the beauty, and it was this, along with the characterful, large rooms and sense of history that all came together and simply blew us away, recall the owners. The location was also very appealing as transport links are excellent. The setting is truly idyllic with unsurpassed views of the river, meadows, garden, churchyard, and church tower. Lake Ashmore, in the village, is perfect for open swimming. The village has lots going on and it's a great place for people of all ages to enjoy everything it has to offer, including the annual regatta where our sons earned their rowing skills and a love of the water for which we will be forever grateful. Just take a step out of the front door or through the garden gate and you will find yourself immersed in nature. From our garden gate we can access the river to drop ourselves in for a quick dip or canoe. The garden is secluded and not overlooked, so it lends itself to entertaining and we have naturally become the 'go to' place for work parties and gatherings with family and friends. The jasmine-covered pergola is a wonderful feature and we're surrounded by the divine scent whilst dining or relaxing in the swing chair. The addition of the breakfast room has been quite transformative in how we have lived in the house and it has been much loved by all. Panoramic views of the garden, trees, and length of the beautiful old part of the property provide a scenic backdrop for a room where we can sit and be at one with the scenery. We tend to gravitate towards the older part of the house as it has a very special ambience and characterful features, such as the double-sided inglenook. We've celebrated christenings and birthdays here, as well as our annual Christmas party when the dining room setting comes into its own. There are many serene spots in the house where we sit and lose ourselves in the peace and views of nature which are interrupted only by the occasional barge passing quietly by.

Set within approximately 15 acres of beautifully tended grounds, Pointers represents the ultimate country escape: a rare and enchanting rural estate where an exceptional family home, outstanding gardens and extensive equestrian and smallholding facilities combine to create a truly distinctive lifestyle property. Approached through impressive wrought iron electric gates and along a long, sweeping driveway, the house reveals itself amid an extraordinary landscape of mature woodland, meadows and meticulously maintained gardens. From its elevated position overlooking the charming village of Wistow, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with spectacular sunsets providing a fitting end to the day. The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained, they offer an extraordinary variety of landscapes and spaces to explore, including a beautiful arboretum, established orchard, ornamental duck pond, perennial flower gardens, productive fruit and vegetable gardens, apiary, aviary, woodland, meadows and an extensive network of pathways. Paddocks, stables, barns and immaculate dog kennels further enhance the property's appeal, providing superb facilities for those seeking an equestrian, canine or smallholding lifestyle. The house itself offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, combining traditional country-house character with modern comfort. A series of distinct reception rooms provides flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life, while the impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining space forms the natural heart of the home. Designed for contemporary country living, this substantial room provides an exceptional setting for everyday family life, entertaining and enjoying the ever-changing views across the grounds. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a utility room, shower room, WC and private office, together with a separate dining room, elegant drawing room and conservatory. The combination of reception spaces allows the property to adapt effortlessly to both intimate occasions and larger gatherings. On the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom. The bedrooms provide peaceful private spaces from which to enjoy the rural setting, while the overall arrangement makes the house equally well suited to family occupation, entertaining and hosting guests. Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial triple garage provides secure garaging and valuable storage, complemented by the property's extensive barns and ancillary buildings. Solar panels with battery storage further enhance the estate's modern credentials, contributing to its energy efficiency while complementing the self-sufficient character of the property. The extensive grounds create an almost private world of their own, offering opportunities for leisurely walks, gardening, keeping animals, entertaining outdoors or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the countryside. Whether strolling through the arboretum, tending the productive gardens, watching wildlife beside the duck pond or relaxing on one of the property's patio areas as the sun sets over the farmland, Pointers is a home designed to be experienced as much as admired. Rarely does a property offer such a compelling combination of beautifully presented accommodation, exceptional grounds and extensive lifestyle facilities. Pointers is more than a country home; it is a complete rural retreat, offering privacy, tranquillity, space and an enviable connection with the landscape. For those seeking an exceptional country lifestyle, this is a property with the space, setting and facilities to make that aspiration a reality. Seller Insight There is a particular feeling you get when you realise you have found somewhere that could become entirely your own. For us, that was Pointers. We arrived to find a house with no immediate neighbours and 15 acres of land around it and immediately saw the possibilities. It was a blank canvas, somewhere we could create an easily maintained, natural refuge for wildlife, while making a home for ourselves and our dogs. I grew up in the countryside and, as a child, learnt to notice and appreciate nature and animals. That connection has always stayed with me, and at Pointers we have been able to create the kind of environment we love. Every tree, hedge, pond, paddock and walkway has been planned and planted by us, with the aim of making the land beautiful while encouraging as much wildlife as possible. What was once a bare stubble field has become a rich and varied habitat, with small woods threaded by paths and rides. The ponds have become a particularly special part of the landscape. There are two: a formal, fenced pond close to the house, complete with a waterfall and ornamental ducks, and a much larger flight pond towards the southern end of the property, which attracts an abundance of wildfowl. Visiting ducks and geese regularly nest on the island in the middle of the pond, adding to the feeling that the wildlife here is very much part of everyday life. There is something new to discover every day. We have an outstanding variety of butterflies and moths, as well as dragonflies, slow worms, grass snakes, foxes, badgers and deer. The birdlife is particularly wonderful, with swallows, barn owls, raptors, game birds and countless other species making use of the land. Quiet evening walks often bring the chance to see deer moving through the paddocks, while the ponds provide a constant source of activity and birdsong. We are passionate about pointing dogs, so having space to train them was another important part of creating Pointers. The paddocks have also provided a wonderfully useful setting for sheep, horses and ponies, and have even been borrowed by a local farmer for cows and calves. Over time, the land has become home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and mammal species, while still remaining a practical and enjoyable part of the way we live. The house itself has more than doubled in size since we bought it, evolving alongside the landscape. It has become a spacious and comfortable family home, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen and living area overlooking the surrounding farmland, and bedrooms enjoying views across the gardens, paddocks and countryside. Sitting slightly elevated on a natural rise, Pointers enjoys an amazing open outlook, with views extending well beyond the property's own land across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The elevated position means these far-reaching views can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, adding to the wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There are plenty of practical spaces too, including the garages, workshop, utility, stables and purpose-built kennels, which have all made the property work beautifully for the way we have lived here. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a neglected property and create not simply a home, but a whole environment, one that continues to surprise and delight us with its wildlife, peace and sense of connection to nature. Village Information Wistow is a charming and peaceful rural village situated within a secluded valley alongside Bury Brook, approximately 6 miles north-east of Huntingdon and close to the market town of Ramsey. With its attractive historic character, open countryside and close-knit community, Wistow offers an appealing balance of rural living and accessibility to the surrounding towns and wider Cambridgeshire.

This is far more than simply a beautiful period property—it is a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a remarkable home that has stood proudly for centuries and continues to offer everything needed for modern family living.
