SELLER INSIGHT The ancient, historic, Ermine Street runs through this quintessential English village and here, in its elevated position along this road, stands this fabulous, intriguing, Baptist chapel, built in 1871, which has been inspirationally and sympathetically converted into this brilliant, compact, home.

It is so easy to understand the present owner’s attraction to this lovely home when she purchased the property. It had already been converted but she has considerably enhanced her home since coming to live here in 2011. The open plan design, featuring a fabulous vaulted ceiling in the main living area, is very spacious and presents an ambient atmosphere of relaxed elegance, and comfort. This brilliant social space is highly practical and stylishly zoned for cooking eating and dining, all enhanced with lots of natural light captured from its large windows. The owner has also cleverly incorporated a home office space on the mezzanine floor. Doors lead out to the professionally landscaped courtyard garden which is extremely private and provides an extension of living space in the summer months, and is certainly a space in which to enjoy quiet relaxation after a busy day. This delightful home is very much a gathering place for friends and family, particularly for those with musical tendencies, as acoustics are an added delight in this home.

Little Stukeley has a strong sense of community with many interesting and regular events taking place. There are many options on education amenities which include both state and independent schools. The village has also benefited from recent improvements in local infrastructure which has added to local amenities, all within walking distance. Huntingdon is close and is where larger supermarkets are based, as is the main line station which provides quick and efficient journeys into Kings Cross and St Pancras. In addition, the local road network has been significantly upgraded, thereby offering stress free journeys to airports and other road links. There is also easy access to the guided bus service for trips into the beautiful city of Cambridge.*
