Thrapston Road, Spaldwick, PE28

This exceptional double-fronted period home is believed to date back over 400 years and was originally two separate cottages, formerly operating as the village bakery and the watchmaker’s. In 2009, the property was acquired by a developer in a derelict condition and carefully converted into one substantial residence, with a full renovation throughout. The current owners have since continued to enhance the home with a newly fitted kitchen, new family bathroom, new downstairs WC, bespoke built-in wardrobes, a paved driveway, full redecoration throughout and the addition of an EV charging point.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a bright and impressive entrance hallway that immediately sets the tone for the space and character on offer. As you proceed along the hallway, you are greeted by a cosy yet spacious music room, featuring a built-in log burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Opposite, the living room offers generous proportions and benefits from built-in storage as well as an open fireplace, making it an ideal space for relaxation.

Towards the end of the entrance hall, the home opens into a main reception hall. To the left is a spacious office or study, perfect for home working. To the right, there is a modern downstairs WC and a separate, well-proportioned utility/laundry room. Continuing through, the current owners have thoughtfully added a separate pantry cupboard, providing excellent additional storage. The ground floor is completed by the bright and spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, ideal for entertaining family and friends, while still retaining charming period features. Patio doors lead directly from this space out into the private, fully enclosed rear garden.

The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms. To the left, the third bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed along with wardrobes and additional furniture, while still allowing ample space to move around. Continuing along the landing, the second bedroom is another spacious double and benefits from built-in wardrobes and space for further furniture. The fourth bedroom also accommodates a double bed with room for wardrobes and chest of drawers. The family bathroom has been reconfigured to create a luxurious four-piece suite, comprising a large bath, separate walk-in shower, WC and his-and-hers sinks.

The principal bedroom completes the accommodation, offering excellent space for a double bed, built-in wardrobes and additional furniture, as well as the characterful addition of an open fireplace. The master bedroom further benefits from a beautifully reconfigured en-suite bathroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a large, fully enclosed walled rear garden, providing a high level of privacy. There is a private driveway leading to an inner courtyard, a garage and a half, and driveway parking for approximately four to five vehicles.

Located in the sought-after village of Spaldwick, the property enjoys a strong sense of community and a peaceful, safe environment. The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, while the village itself is home to historic buildings, including the Church of St James and Spaldwick Manor. Local amenities include a village pub, service station and community shop, with highly regarded schools such as Hinchingbrooke School and Kimbolton School within easy reach.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated period home that perfectly blends historic character with modern living, all set within an idyllic village location.
