Description
Kimbolton Lodge is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home offering over 2,000 sq. ft. of accommodation, including a recently completed extension, a garage, and a generous detached outbuilding. Situated on Spaldwick Road in the sought-after village of Stow Longa, the property combines classic period features with thoughtfully designed modern spaces, creating a home perfectly suited to both family life and entertainment.
Ground Floor
The property has been extended and refurbished to a high standard, with the heart of the home now a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living area measuring over 39 feet in length. This space is finished with herringbone-style composite flooring with underfloor heating and benefits from two sets of full-width bi-folding doors, skylights, and Sonos ceiling speakers. The kitchen itself features Granite worktops, a large central island, an induction hob, a wine cooler, a Quooker hot tap, an integrated oven, a microwave and a warming drawer. The living area includes a striking exposed brick fireplace with a steel canopy, and the space opens directly onto the rear terrace and garden.
A separate utility room and a walk-in pantry cupboard support the kitchen. To the front of the house, a traditional reception room offers a more intimate setting with original sash windows, a feature fireplace, exposed oak beam, and exposed brickwork. Adjacent to the hall is a well-proportioned home office, ideal for working from home, along with a downstairs WC.
First Floor
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is part of the recent extension and enjoys a vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, a Juliet balcony with views over the rear garden, underfloor heating, built-in wardrobes, and a modern en-suite shower room with marble tiling, a walk-in rainfall shower and matt black fixtures. The second bedroom is particularly spacious and includes its own four-piece en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. Bedrooms three and four are both positioned at the front of the house and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
The landing has been finished with a contemporary oak and glass balustrade, adding to the sense of light and space on the upper floor.
Garden
Externally, the rear garden has been attractively landscaped to include a large stone terrace, formal lawn, well-stocked borders, a pergola-covered seating area and a built-in barbecue station. At the far end of the garden is a detached outbuilding with power and internet connectivity, currently arranged as a home office. To the front, there is off-street parking for two vehicles and a single garage with traditional timber-style doors.
