Detached house
Guide Price
‘Old Spot House’ enjoys a particularly special position within St Ives, combining the PRIVACY AND EXCLUSIVITY OF A LUXURY COUNTRY STYLE RESIDENCE with the convenience of being remarkably close to everything the town has to offer. Approached via a PRIVATE ROAD SHARED BY JUST THREE LUXURY HOMES and set securely behind its own PRIVATE ELECTRIC GATES on a SIGNIFICANT 0.20 of an ACRE PLOT (sts), the property immediately offers a sense of exclusivity and seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. For those looking for a SUBSTANTIAL FAMILY HOME WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON PRIVACY, this is a location that genuinely stands apart.
The house itself is an IMPRESSIVE 2,474 sq ft FOUR-BEDROOM, THREE-BATHROOM DETACHED EXECUTIVE RESIDENCE, offering the scale, quality and flexibility expected of a premium family home. There is a real sense of arriving somewhere PRIVATE, PEACEFUL AND EXCLUSIVE, whilst its position creates a wonderful feeling of being tucked away from the outside world. Despite this seclusion, the property remains remarkably well connected, providing the ideal balance between LUXURY, PRIVACY AND EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE.
THE LOCATION REALLY IS ONE OF ITS GREATEST ASSETS. From Old Spot House, you can enjoy the very best of St Ives with an enviable balance between town and countryside. The TOWN CENTRE, INDEPENDENT SHOPS, CAFÉS, RESTAURANTS, PUBS, MARKET AND RIVERSIDE are all within easy reach, allowing everyday amenities and the character of this historic market town to be enjoyed without having to rely heavily on the car.
Perhaps even more appealing is the IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE AND OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE. This is a home where you can step away from the privacy of your own grounds and quickly find yourself enjoying OPEN COUNTRYSIDE, RIVERSIDE WALKS, CYCLING ROUTES AND BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. The proximity to the GUIDED BUSWAY is another major advantage, providing excellent access towards Cambridge whilst also offering a fantastic route for walking, running and cycling. It is an unusually appealing combination, a GENUINELY LUXURIOUS HOME WITHIN A PRIVATE ENCLAVE, YET WITH COUNTRYSIDE EFFECTIVELY ON THE DOORSTEP.
For commuters, the position is equally compelling. The CAMBRIDGESHIRE GUIDED BUSWAY PROVIDES A DIRECT AND CONVENIENT CONNECTION INTO CAMBRIDGE, making the city centre and major employment areas readily accessible without the daily reliance on the car. This makes Old Spot House particularly attractive to professionals who want the SPACE, PRIVACY AND LIFESTYLE OF ST IVES WITHOUT GIVING UP EASY ACCESS TO CAMBRIDGE.
The property is also extremely well placed for access to London. HUNTINGDON RAILWAY STATION is readily accessible by road, providing direct rail services towards LONDON KING'S CROSS. This means buyers can enjoy the peace, space and lifestyle associated with St Ives whilst retaining a CONVENIENT COMMUTER CONNECTION INTO CENTRAL LONDON, a combination that significantly enhances the appeal of the location.
Ultimately, what makes Old Spot House so appealing is the COMBINATION OF THINGS THAT ARE RARELY FOUND TOGETHER. It offers the scale and quality of an EXECUTIVE FAMILY RESIDENCE, the security and privacy of PRIVATE ELECTRIC GATES, the exclusivity of a PRIVATE ROAD SHARED BY JUST THREE LUXURY HOMES, COUNTRYSIDE AND WALKING ROUTES ON THE DOORSTEP, easy access to the GUIDED BUSWAY AND CAMBRIDGE, and excellent connectivity towards LONDON KING'S CROSS.

THE BEAUTY OF LIVING IN ST IVES / CAMBRIDGESHIRE
St Ives is a charming market town set on the banks of the River Great Ouse about 12 miles to the north west of Cambridge. The main street and the old Quay, on the riverside, have many attractive buildings and there are several architecturally important buildings such as the Jacobean manor house, 15th century All Saints church and the six-arch Barnack stone bridge which incorporates a chapel - one of only four of its kind left in England. The market square has a good range of shops from national chains to small independent stores.
The weekly markets are a great place to buy locally produced foods, plants and gifts and several food and drink festivals and continental markets are held throughout the year. There are plenty of choices for the more active with a leisure centre, championship golf club and an array of sports clubs ranging from bowls and boxing through to rugby and sailing - something for all ages.
The Guided Busway in St Ives, the longest in the world, runs through pretty countryside and provides quick and frequent access to the centre of Cambridge. Cambridge is also one of only 11 cities in the UK that have been designated as one of the UK's "cycling cities" - an award that Cambridge received in 2008. Packed full of stunning architecture and nature, Cambridge is a beautiful university town renowned for its impact on history. The tightly packed city centre is perfect for exploring ancient colleges, cobbled streets and the picturesque "Backs" alongside the River Cam.
A city that celebrates quintessential England with pioneering scientific research. With famous alumni such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Professor Stephen Hawking, you'll be following in some famous footsteps. See the colleges where these great minds studied and be inspired by the same surroundings which changed the course of history.
