Substantial family home with pool, tennis court and sweeping private grounds.
Approximately 6.5 acres of private landscaped grounds
Offord Hill House is an impressive Edwardian country residence set in about 6.5 acres of private, landscaped grounds. The house (built 1908) blends original period character—fireplaces, tower and an elegant reception hall—with extensive modern upgrades and careful recent refurbishment. Accommodation across three floors totals c. 9,154 sq ft, including seven bedrooms, principal suite with dressing room and large en suite, and a versatile annexe ideal for guests or home office use.
The property’s leisure amenities are a principal draw: a superb indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi and bar/kitchen area, dedicated plant room, gym/games room and an all-weather tennis court, plus a summer house and large terrace for outdoor entertaining. Practical benefits include a three-bay garage with electric doors, utility and boot rooms, double glazing installed post-2002 and substantial storage throughout.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The EPC is rated E and the main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators, which affects running costs and efficiency; the house’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. Broadband speeds are recorded as very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors are balanced by the property’s scale, setting and recent refurbishment, but they are relevant when calculating ongoing running and retrofit costs.
Set just under two miles from Godmanchester and within commuting distance of Huntingdon station and Cambridge, the house sits in an affluent rural area with good primary and secondary schooling nearby. This is a substantial family country home offering privacy, formal and informal living spaces, and significant leisure facilities for an active household or those seeking weekend-scale entertaining and sport.
