Summary - WALNUT LODGE THICKET ROAD HOUGHTON HUNTINGDON PE28 2BQ
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom family home with large private garden and double garage.
Private gated drive with sweeping gravel forecourt
Set behind stone pillars and wrought-iron gates on Thicket Road, Walnut Lodge is a substantial five-bedroom family home offering over 2,400 sq ft of flexible accommodation and a very large, private garden of approximately 0.36 acres. The house combines traditional Tudor-revival character — exposed brick fireplaces, bow window and dormers — with generous reception rooms, an established mature garden and a detached double garage, making it well suited to growing families who want space, privacy and scope to personalise.
The ground floor layout includes four reception rooms plus a large kitchen/breakfast room and utility; the east wing presents clear opportunity to create a striking open-plan kitchen/living space (subject to planning). Upstairs the principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en suite, with four further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The property is arranged to accommodate home working, family living and entertaining with direct garden access from several rooms and a full-width terrace for outdoor dining.
Practical points to note: the home sits in a conservation area, so any significant alterations may need consent. The EPC rating is D and the property is in Council Tax Band G, which reflect energy and ongoing cost considerations. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal average — factors to consider for heavy home-working or streaming households.
Walnut Lodge is positioned two hundred yards from Houghton village centre with a community shop, pubs and riverside walks, and around 3 miles from Huntingdon station with fast services to London. For families seeking a substantial, characterful home with long-term potential in one of Cambridgeshire’s most desirable villages, this house offers scale, privacy and the chance to modernise and tailor the space to your needs.
