Description:

Hollow Farm is an attractive and very appealing former farmhouse occupying a very pleasant plot of around 1.25 acres. The original part of the house is an attractive red brick with later sympathetic extensions. The property offers huge potential in terms of being able to add your own touches to update with the benefit of hugely, versatile accommodation extending to over 2,770sqft.

The accommodation is laid out over two floors with three good-size reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, utility room and separate cloakroom on the ground floor and four bedrooms and a large bathroom on the first floor. There is also a separate self-contained studio/annexe with a shower room and its own access to the driveway and cart-lodge parking. The property is well-presented throughout with many period features including exposed beams, inglenook and cast iron fireplaces, terracotta tiled floors and casement windows. It is an unusual and rare opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a pretty period home in a very convenient location with the benefit of some scope to improve.

Outside:

The house is approached from West End Road, a very quiet leafy good, over a gravelled driveway leading through into the courtyard parking. There is ample room and turning space for numerous cars, utility vehicles, horseboxes etc along with a number of cart-lodge garages and areas of hard standing. This attractive gravelled courtyard also gives access to the timber framed barn, with sliding doors, which offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to planning. A particular feature is the original stable block comprising two stalls and complete with mangers and cobbled stone flooring.

The grounds extend to around 1.25 acres and are primarily laid to grass with established hedging and a lovely variety of mature trees. The gardens offer good levels of seclusion and offer perfect outdoor spaces for entertaining, al-fresco dining landscaping and vegetable/kitchen gardens.

NB. Please note that a public footpath passes across a section of the garden.

Location:

The property is located in a lovely semi-rural position between the popular villages of Fenstanton (0.5 miles on foot/1.5 miles by car) and Hilton (1.5 miles).

Fenstanton is an incredibly popular village, with a well-regarded primary school, post office, convenience store and a village pub. The village has easy access to St Ives which is a pretty market town with a bustling High Street and weekly market together with a variety of pubs, restaurants and sports and leisure facilities. Bus services from the village connect with St Ives, Huntingdon and Cambridge and the location offers excellent access to major roads to Cambridge, London, Stansted Airport and The North (A1) and, for the rail commuter, Huntingdon Railway Station (London approx. 50 minutes/Peterborough approx. 15 mins) is only a short drive away.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
