luxury real estate for sale Cambridge, United Kingdom

Period home set in a truly unique waterside plot including a river meadow island. Cambridge and London are within easy reach. Tucked away at the end of a sought-after no-through lane on the edge of a charming village, Watermill House is a rare gem—a period home nestled within a breathtaking riverside setting of almost 10 acres, including a private water meadow island. With Cambridge and London easily accessible, this is countryside living without compromise, the well served village is just a short walk. From the moment you arrive, the magic of this home begins to unfold. A gravel driveway leads to the wisteria-draped front façade, where the house sits elegantly at the water's edge. Here, privacy and tranquillity reign, and the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle flow of the river.Inside, the house is filled with character and charm. There are four inviting reception rooms, including a study with parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove, a beautifully light sitting room with a walk-out bay window, and a vaulted ceiling garden room that invites the outside in. Many rooms enjoy uninterrupted river views or open directly onto the gardens, making this a home that truly connects with its surroundings.Upstairs, there are five generously sized double bedrooms, served by a stylish family bathroom. The principal suite enjoys its own ensuite and a picture window that perfectly frames the river open countryside beyond.Outside, the grounds are a haven of natural beauty—sweeping lawns, a wildflower meadow, a thriving orchard, and a productive kitchen garden all play their part. Two bridges, maintained by the Environment Agency, provide access first to a smaller island and then on to the main river meadow island, ideal for private picnics, wild swimming, or simply escaping the everyday.Mature trees, open countryside, and flowing water surround the property on all sides, offering a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle—yet with easy access to nearby towns, city connections, and excellent schools.Additional features include a secondary driveway, garage, workshop, and store—all contributing to the property's practical appeal.Seller Insight Set along the tranquil banks of the River Great Ouse, Watermill House is a distinguished Grade II listed home dating back to the early 18th century. Surrounded by approximately 10 acres of enchanting grounds, it offers a rare combination of period elegance, natural beauty, and privacy – all within the heart of the sought-after Cambridgeshire village of Hemingford Grey.We knew it was special the moment we saw it, say the current owners, who have cherished the property for nearly three decades. The setting – with its open space, character, and peaceful riverside location – felt like the perfect place to raise a young family. It gave us the best of both worlds: a sense of complete seclusion and nature, yet just a short stroll to the village centre, and across the meadows to St Ives.Originally modernised in 1979 by an architect, the house cleverly blends its historic charm with stylish functionality. The River Room is one of our favourite spaces – with its double-height ceiling and beautiful natural light, it's ideal for entertaining. The layout of the ground floor flows so well – rooms interconnect seamlessly, making it perfect for hosting both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.The dining room offers a particularly cosy atmosphere with its exposed beams, impressive fireplace, and garden views through a large window. Step outside, and the magic of the grounds reveals itself: There's a patio just a few feet from the water – perfect for al fresco dining. We've held many garden parties here, with plenty of room for guests and even parking.Beyond the formal gardens lie wildflower meadows, an orchard, a vegetable plot, and a walled garden with a workshop and a charming semi-derelict building – an exciting project for someone looking to create a studio or home office, the owners suggest. Two islands, accessible by bridges, add a sense of adventure to the landscape.The river frontage is a true highlight, they add. It includes mooring with landing stage and fishing rights, and watching the kingfishers and otters has been an unforgettable part of living here. The views across the river toward St Ives are simply breathtaking.Located at the end of a quiet no-through lane, the home enjoys a peaceful setting without passing traffic. And the village itself is a treasure: Hemingford Grey has a wonderful community spirit, with a historic church, a sports centre, a fantastic pub, and The Manor – one of the oldest continually inhabited houses in the country. There's even an annual regatta, believed to be the oldest inland one in the UK.Village Information The Hemingfords (Abbots and Grey) are situated along the banks of the River Great Ouse and are well-known as a very picturesque and sought-after Cambridgeshire village. Much of the villages are in a Conservation Area with many thatched cottages and barns and other architecturally important buildings such as the Grade I listed church with its spire being a landmark for miles around the Ouse valley. Hemingford Abbots has excellent facilities: across the road from the Axe & Compass pub is the purpose-built Village Hall and playing field. The playing field with open grassland is equipped with modern children's play equipment. The village shares many facilities with neighbouring Hemingford Grey: village shop, post office, primary school and sports pitches and the award winning Cock pub. Between the two villages there are a variety of clubs, societies and activities such as the annual Regatta and biennial Flower Festival. Transport The Hemingfords sit between the towns of Huntingdon and St Ives where a wider selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities are available. The newly modified A14 provides quick and easy access into Cambridge and links to the A1, M11 and the national motorway network. Huntingdon has a railway station, approx. 10 minutes' drive away, with fast trains into London King's Cross in approx. 50 minutes and links to the North via Peterborough whilst St Ives offers the Guided Busway service to the Cambridge Science Park and city centre.

Seller InsightIt was the kerbside appeal that attracted us initially. We'd had a quick chat with the agent about the property, however it wasn't right for us when we did our first drive by. We did really like another house on the same road though and when we spoke to the office the following day, we realised that we'd looked at the wrong one and it was actually the house that we wanted that was for sale, so it all worked out perfectly in the end, say the owners.And when we saw the correct property, we fell in love with the spacious rooms and large garden. We could see the potential to create our ideal family home and set about making the necessary changes. We knocked down part of the house to the side and created a new extension to properly balance out the look and layout. My study is in this new part and it's a calm environment where I like to spend time, not only to work from home, but also to read my books.The property sits in grounds of over half an acre. We have space to park up to 10 cars at the front, which is useful when we're entertaining, whilst the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, bushes, beautiful flowers, and a natural area that attracts a wide range of wildlife. The garden is a fun place to be where we've hosted BBQs, a baby shower, birthdays, and family get-togethers where the children chase each other around the central island and hide in the bushes.We spend a lot of time in the large open plan kitchen / living area. It's equally as good for large gatherings or for sitting peacefully by the log burner enjoying the views of the garden. The lounge is a cosy space where we watch tv and relax but I think my favourite place would be the veranda. It's a covered spot in the garden that offers shelter even on the rainiest of days. On our first day here, I got a chair, sat down with a cup of coffee, and enjoyed the smell of summer in the rain. Heaven.We enjoy easy access to the surrounding road network, bus service, and train station from where we can visit National Trust properties and our friends and family around the country. We have some excellent facilities within walking distance and there are some lovely pubs and restaurants a little further afield. It's a wonderful walk or cycle along the river into town or St Ives and Cambridge.Village informationThe village of Hartford sits on the North bank of the River Great Ouse, about 2 miles on the eastern side of the bustling market town of Huntingdon.

A truly magnificent five-bedroom Victorian residence, The Limes is an exceptional country home nestled within the idyllic Cambridgeshire village of Offord D'Arcy. Steeped in heritage and architectural elegance, the property offers an exquisite sense of grandeur, beautifully balanced with the ease and comfort of contemporary living.Approached via a long, sweeping gravel driveway and secured behind automated wrought-iron gates, the sense of arrival is both private and quietly impressive. As the house comes into view, its handsome façade and refined arched portico create a striking first impression, setting the tone for the scale and sophistication that lies within.Set within approximately two acres of exquisitely maintained grounds, The Limes enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting. Internally, the home is bathed in natural light, with tall sash windows illuminating the beautifully proportioned rooms. At its heart, a graceful curved staircase rises beneath an elegant roof lantern, forming a captivating architectural centrepiece.Extending to over 3,000 sq ft, the accommodation offers a superb balance of formal and informal living. The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive, featuring full-height walk-out bay windows that blur the line between indoors and out, while the exceptional ceiling heights enhance the sense of volume and refinement throughout.The kitchen breakfast room has been transformed by the current owners to create a warm and sociable hub of the home. Centred around a classic AGA and complemented by a generous island, it is a space equally suited to everyday family life and relaxed entertaining.A standout feature is the beautifully appointed garden room/orangery, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the formal gardens. Opening onto a glass-covered terrace, it provides an elegant setting for year-round entertaining. The space also benefits from previously approved planning permission, offering further potential for enhancement.Dating back to circa 1860, The Limes was originally constructed as the Rectory to neighbouring St Peter's Church. Although later divided in 1969, the property retains the majority of its original accommodation along with an abundance of period character. Its rich history includes associations with RAF Graveley Airfield during the Second World War, and the grounds have long played host to the much-loved village fête, often accompanied by nostalgic RAF flypasts.Offord D'Arcy itself offers a quintessential village lifestyle, complete with a welcoming public house, local shop, and equestrian facilities. The nearby village of Buckden provides additional amenities, while the market town of St Neots (less than five miles away) and the city of Cambridge (approximately 20 miles) offer a comprehensive range of shopping, dining, and excellent rail connections into London.For families, Offord Primary School is within easy walking distance, with well-regarded secondary options including Longsands Academy in St Neots and Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon. A number of highly regarded independent schools are also accessible, including Kimbolton School.Seller Insight When we first found The Limes, we knew it offered something special: a wonderful sense of space and calm, while still being brilliantly practical for everyday life. With both Huntingdon and St Neots stations within easy reach, it was the ideal base for commuting to London, and for more than 30 years it has been a home that has truly grown with us. An historic former rectory, once used as a children's home during the war, this is a home that was full of character and memories before we even arrived, and we have loved adding our own memories to its story.One of the things we needed from the outset was flexibility, and having two large en suite bedrooms made it perfect when we moved here with my parents in tow. The house has always felt welcoming and generous, with rooms that flow beautifully. We added a skylight on the landing to bring in even more natural light, replaced the kitchen, and updated the garden room, which has become a favourite spot to sit and enjoy the view.The living room is particularly lovely, especially in winter, with the wood burner creating a warm, cosy atmosphere. The dining room has hosted countless family celebrations and is perfectly designed for Christmas gatherings. And there is nothing quite like waking up in the bedroom to views of trees in summer and autumn or looking straight out to open fields beyond when the branches are bare in winter and early spring.The generous garden has been transformed during our time here, and truly feels like having our own private park. We have planted trees and shrubs, created a pond, and shaped parts of it into a haven for wildlife, badgers, deer, foxes and rabbits are all regular visitors. With two patios and plenty of space for barbecues and al fresco entertaining, it has also been fabulous for parties, from weddings to camping and even the church fête.The village itself is incredibly friendly, with a primary school, shop, and an active village hall hosting everything from WI, gardening club and bowls to mums and babies groups. There are wonderful walks across the fields, along the river and towards the nearby nature reserve.Agents Notes Tenure: Freehold Year Built: circa 1860 EPC: D Local Authority: Huntingdonshire Council Tax Band: EIMPORTANT NOTE TO PURCHASERS: We endeavour to make our sales particulars accurate and reliable, however, they do not constitute or form part of an offer or any contract and none is to be relied upon as statements of representation or fact.
