Station Lane, Offord Cluny, St. Neots, PE19

A truly unique and beautifully extended 17th-century residence, this remarkable home blends timeless period charm with refined contemporary living.

Originally dating back over 400 years, the property has been thoughtfully extended and renovated to an exceptional standard. Great care has been taken to preserve its historical integrity while creating an expansive, versatile and highly functional family home.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone and provides access to a ground floor WC. To one side sits a generous formal reception room, while opposite, an elegant sitting room showcases a magnificent inglenook fireplace with open brickwork and a multi-fuel log burner, a striking focal point that perfectly celebrates the home’s heritage.

The accommodation flows seamlessly into a contemporary snug and an impressive playroom, both benefitting from direct access to the private rear gardens and patio terraces, ideal for modern family life as well as entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies the outstanding open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room. This expansive and light-filled space features a bespoke two-tone kitchen, quartz worktops, a sunken sink and a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances. French doors open onto the south and west-facing gardens, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, while internal access leads directly to the oversized double garage.

The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

The principal suite is particularly impressive, enhanced by vaulted ceilings that create a wonderful sense of light and volume. The accompanying en-suite is fully tiled and finished to a high specification, featuring a shower-over-bath and skylight flooding the space with natural light. The family bathroom mirrors this quality, offering cohesive contemporary styling throughout.

Outside, the private rear garden enjoys both south and west-facing aspects, creating a sun-drenched retreat from morning through to evening. The garden includes an extensive patio terrace, lawn, summer house and greenhouse, perfectly suited to outdoor entertaining and relaxed family enjoyment.

The oversized double garage has been thoughtfully converted into a versatile hobby, games, or work-from-home space. The area benefits from power, heating, utility and additional storage, creating a highly practical and flexible space. A pedestrian door provides direct access to the garden, further enhancing the space and it’s potential for use as an annexe.

To the front, gated access leads to a block-paved driveway providing parallel parking for two vehicles.

Seller Insight
“Cluny Cottage has been our home for the past four years. We were immediately drawn to the beautiful contrast between the 400-year-old frontage and the modern rear extension, offering contemporary comfort alongside wonderful character.

The layout is delightfully quirky yet incredibly practical. It allows both shared family time and individual space, which made it feel perfect for us from the beginning.

During our time here, we have carefully maintained and enhanced the property. A new boiler was installed, and the garage was converted into a versatile gym space, easily returned to its original purpose if desired. We also sympathetically restored the front exterior, repairing and repointing to preserve its charm.

My favourite room is the front lounge. With exposed beams and the wood burner, it’s cosy, warm and full of atmosphere. In contrast, the L-shaped extension becomes the heart of the home in summer. With four sets of double doors opening to the garden, it is flooded with light and creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The south-facing aspect makes it a true sun trap and an incredible space for entertaining.

The garden is wonderfully private and not overlooked. We removed a tree to maximise sunlight and have created an inviting outdoor space with established lawn, mature shrubs and a log store. The raised patio provides yet another sunny spot to relax.

The community here is something truly special, friendly and supportive, yet respectful of privacy. We will be leaving a book detailing the home’s history, which adds another meaningful layer to the cottage’s story.

What we will miss most is the sense of space and flexibility. The layout has adapted beautifully to our needs, making it a very special place to call home.”
