A rare, non-listed Georgian former vicarage set within almost 3 acres of mature, private gardens close to St Neots town centre. The house offers grand period proportions throughout: high ceilings, large sash windows, original fireplaces and generous reception rooms that suit large-family living and entertaining. A gated gravel drive, stone-pillared portico and landscaped vistas give a strong sense of arrival and seclusion despite easy access to local amenities.
Accommodation includes seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and numerous reception rooms across a flexible layout of around 5,209 sq ft. The principal suite benefits from a dressing room and large en suite; the rear wing could be adapted with modest works to form an annexe for guests or staff. Extensive outbuildings and former stables present conversion potential for a detached annexe, home gym or ancillary leisure use.
Practical considerations: the property was built in the early 1800s with solid brick walls and, while characterful, will need modernisation in places (EPC F, likely limited wall insulation). Council Tax is high (Band G) and parts of the house will benefit from updating to heating, insulation and kitchen/bathroom finishes. For purchasers seeking a turnkey modern house this will require investment; for buyers wanting a grand period home with scope, this is an outstanding opportunity.
Location is a key strength — walking distance to shops, pubs and riverside walks, with St Neots station offering fast commuter services to London (around 40 minutes) and Cambridge reachable in about 30 minutes by car or bus. This combination of central convenience, large private grounds and handsome period architecture will suit a large family or purchaser seeking renovation and development potential.
