Church Road, Grafham, Huntingdon, PE28

Discreetly positioned within an exclusive enclave of just three individual homes, this exceptional village residence combines elegant architecture with remarkable interior space, offering a bespoke lifestyle opportunity in the heart of Cambridgeshire countryside.

Sympathetically extended and meticulously remodelled over time, the property presents a wonderfully versatile family home of distinction. Set within mature, private gardens of over half an acre and enjoying far-reaching rural views, it offers a rare blend of seclusion, space and sophistication, all just a short stroll from the celebrated Grafham Water Reservoir with its wealth of recreational and sailing amenities.

Internally, the home offers an expansive and flexible layout extending to over 3,500 sq ft, with a strong emphasis on natural light and flow. The accommodation is designed to adapt effortlessly to evolving family needs, including provision for multi-generational living, home working, and entertaining at scale.

Five reception rooms offer flexibility for formal and informal living, including a refined drawing room, a generous dining room, and dedicated study. At the heart of the home lies a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining family space, perfect for relaxed everyday living and hosting gatherings alike.

The galleried landing introduces a further layer of grandeur, offering space for a quiet reading nook or library area, and leads to six bedrooms. The impressive principal suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a large dressing room, stylishly appointed en suite with bath and separate shower, and a private balcony commanding glorious views across the rear garden and beyond to open countryside and Grafham Water.

Four further double bedrooms benefit from excellent proportions, with built-in wardrobes in two, while the sixth bedroom is currently arranged as a dedicated home office. A well-fitted family bathroom and separate shower room complete the upper floor.

Approached via a private gravelled driveway, the home occupies a mature plot of approximately 0.55 acres, affording privacy and an exceptional outdoor lifestyle.

To the front, lawns and raised planters are complemented by mature trees and ample parking plus a double garage. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a true haven, a sweeping lawn interspersed with specimen planting, wild garden areas, and thoughtfully placed patios and seating zones designed for al fresco dining and leisure.

A heated outdoor swimming pool is elegantly set within a raised decked terrace, framed by tall hedging for complete seclusion. Additional outbuildings include a stable, greenhouse, and a charming summerhouse/pump room, offering yet more scope for hobbies or relaxation.

Seller Insight
“3 Church Road has been our family home for the past 28 years. What first drew us in was the wonderful balance of location, space, and potential. We remember seeing the back garden and instantly knowing this was the perfect home for us.”

“Over the years, we have lovingly modernised and extended the house. We added an extension a few years after moving in and even added a large balcony to the master suite overlooking the garden. Creating a light-filled home was always our focus, and it has become a space that feels open and airy.”

“The kitchen is one of my favourite spaces and is the true heart of the home - it has been the hub of family life. It also benefits from a versatile annex, which has been ideal for working from home and offers great potential for other uses.”

“The garden has been our sanctuary - large, private, and beautifully mature with trees and shrubs providing seclusion. The swimming pool, with its surrounding decking and terrace, has been popular with family and friends, offering quiet spots to relax as well as wonderful spaces for entertaining. Enjoying the peace of the garden has brought us so much happiness.”

“The house itself lends perfectly to gatherings, with a natural flow and open-plan feel. We have hosted many memorable occasions here - from parties to Christmases.”

“Beyond the house, the village community is truly special. It is a busy and friendly place, with plenty going on - from various clubs and classes, to the annual fireworks display, beer and cider festivals, and the flower festival at the church. The walks are another highlight - just five minutes from the reservoir, we have enjoyed walking the dog, cycling, and even sailing over the years. There is also excellent access to London, with both train and bus links nearby.”

“What I will miss most is the garden and the pool, it’s a true oasis of peace and calm that has brought us endless joy. Above all, we will miss the friendships and the strong sense of community here. We are only moving a short distance, which in itself is a testament to how much we love the area.”
