Description
[INST]<>
Set on a generous 2.4-acre plot, this detached extended period home offers open field views and comes with extensive outbuildings, one of which has planning permission for conversion into a separate dwelling. The property features a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove and doors leading to a conservatory, providing stunning views over the well-maintained gardens. The kitchen is open to the dining room, and there is also a large study, utility room, and cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are complemented by an ensuite in the principal bedroom and a family bathroom.
Outside, the property benefits from a vast gravel driveway with ample parking and turning space, leading to the outbuildings and paddock. The planning permission for the outbuilding conversion was granted in 2021, offering a fantastic opportunity to create additional living space or an annexe. The plot includes mature gardens, mature hedging, and open fields to the rear and side, with a selection of mature trees enhancing the natural beauty of the setting.
The current owners purchased Bridge Farm as a business opportunity, with the large outbuilding ideal for running their own venture. They have since transformed the house into a comfortable family home, with improvements including an extension to create additional accommodation, a reconfigured layout, and the addition of a conservatory for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The property is conveniently located for access to St Ives, with its well-regarded Ivo Academy, and the guided busway providing easy access to Cambridge and Huntingdon. The town also hosts a Farmer’s Market every Saturday, offering fresh local produce.
Seller Insight: “We fell in love with Bridge Farm for its idyllic setting and the potential it offered for our business. The outbuildings were a key factor in our decision to purchase, and we have enjoyed creating a home that blends comfort with character. The spacious layout and beautiful gardens have been perfect for family life, and the conservatory has transformed the way we entertain and enjoy our outdoor space. The proximity to St Ives and its amenities, including the Farmer’s Market, has been a bonus, making everyday life here a pleasure.”<>
