5 bed detached house for sale

Ramsey Road, Kings Ripton PE28

Ellis Winters are delighted to welcome you to The Limes. Found within the picturesque village of Kings Ripton, the house, which is the oldest in the village, originates from around 1570, with further additions in the 18th and 19th centuries. Kings Ripton is a quaint and idyllic village, approximately 3.5 miles from Huntingdon and its mainline train station approximately 4.5 miles which arrives in London within the hour, and approximately 19 miles from Cambridge and 20 miles from Peterborough.

The Limes is a part timber-framed Tudor residence, which was restored and modernised by the current owners. It is Grade II Listed, and previously formed part of Lord De Ramsey's estate. This superb home boasts character features throughout, including its original Tudor front door, with the later addition of a beautiful stained-glass window. The property offers versatility and flexible accommodation throughout, with three/four reception rooms, and five/six bedrooms. Measuring approximately 2,500 sqft, this is truly a family home.

One of the great features of this home is the external space. The property offers landscaped gardens, a former tennis court, and grounds of around 10.5 acres (sts). There are numerous outbuildings. The large, thatched barn is used for storage and garaging, and the other offers two stables and an open cart barn and machine store. This is perfect for those who have horses or would like to keep livestock. The current owners created an enclosed area for grazing and exercise, and the remaining land is pasture/paddock land.
