Description

This exceptional Victorian manor house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country residence set within approximately 2 acres of private grounds, offering outstanding lifestyle, investment and development potential in a peaceful yet well-connected Cambridgeshire location.

Originally built in the 1880s, the residence offers extensive accommodation comprising 11 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and 5 reception rooms, including a drawing room, sitting room, games room, formal dining room and a striking vaulted kitchen/dining room with separate utility and wine cellar. The home retains a wealth of original period features, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, impressive fireplaces and large bay windows, creating elegant and characterful living spaces filled with natural light.

The house is approached via a sweeping U-shaped driveway with two gated entrances, surrounded by mature trees that provide privacy and seclusion. The grounds also include a two-bedroom annexe with shower room, double carport garage, laundrette block and a former care home building positioned to the rear.

Offering significant mixed-use potential, the residence could continue as a substantial private home, operate as a holiday let or hospitality business, or be used as a care or assisted living facility. Subject to the relevant consents, the site may also offer potential for residential or alternative development within the grounds.

Full planning consent has previously been granted for the construction of a 64-bedroom care home within the rear grounds, with ample parking provision for staff and visitors. The main house is currently operated as a successful holiday let, with further details regarding current income and development potential available upon request.

Situated in the historic market town of Ramsey, near Huntingdon, the property enjoys a convenient yet peaceful setting with access to Cambridge, Peterborough and London via mainline rail connections.
