"The Old Union House has been our cherished family home for the past five years. Originally constructed in the early 1700s, the house still boasts period features such as the remnants of the bread ovens that once baked loaves to nourish farm labourers. Though the property was lovingly restored in the 1970s by the village's then GP, transforming it into a family home. The previous owners further modernised it in the early 2000s, and again further by ourselves while we have been here.""What initially drew us to the Old Union House was its rarity and uniqueness. Known and admired by everyone in the village, this house on Old Church Lane captivates all with its character and charm.""The grand inglenook fireplace and wood burner in the living room have been the heart of our home, serving as the focal point for family gatherings, movie nights, and Christmas celebrations. The in-and-out kitchen and patio area are perfect for entertaining during the summer months. We have hosted numerous seasonal holidays, birthdays, and christenings between the house and the lodge, accommodating dozens of guests and their dogs for our largest family events.""The views from the house are breath-taking, with endless fields of barley and wheat stretching out to a solitary oak tree, behind which the sun sets beautifully in the summer months. I will dearly miss watching the summer harvest and waking to the lovely chorus of birds each morning.""Among the major renovations we undertook were the rebuilding of the chimney stacks and converting a tired cattle shed into a stylishly clad two-bay carport and home gym. We also devoted considerable time to decorating the interior and reclaiming an unloved garden.""Situated on the doorstep of the Cambridgeshire countryside and the Greenwich Meridian Trail, the only traffic here consists of dog walkers and the occasional tractor. The village school and pub are conveniently within walking distance.""As the last house on the lane, our only neighbours are the friendly farmers across the way, along with the occasional muntjac, rabbit, and squirrel. Our neighbours have been fantastic and have been very willing to lend a hand when needed.""The local playgroup and primary school have been wonderful for our two young children, providing a gateway into the local community. Our social circle has grown to include the mums and dads of the village, creating lasting friendships.""I will miss so much about our home driving past the long Leylandii hedge, turning the corner, and hearing the gravel crunch beneath the tires as the old brick house comes into view is a memory I will always treasure."Village Information

Il terreno contiene una dependance indipendente con due camere da letto che, fino a poco tempo fa, è stata gestita come un Airbnb di successo. La proprietà è splendidamente presentata con bagni e cucina modernizzati. Elementi d'epoca come travi a vista e caminetti originali si trovano in tutto l'alloggio pieno di luce. Il cuore di questa affascinante casa è la cucina/colazione e la sala da pranzo, che offrono il meglio dell'open space e delle stanze separate. Un inglenook in mattoni con bressummer di quercia si trova tra i due spazi, vantando una stufa a legna nella sala da pranzo e un Aga nella sala colazione della cucina. La cucina è stata arredata con mobili a scuotitore e piani di lavoro in granito, con doppie porte che si aprono sui giardini. Un'ampia dispensa offre un ottimo spazio di archiviazione, mentre un ingresso offre molto spazio per cappotti e stivali dopo aver goduto della campagna circostante. Un guardaroba di servizio aggiunge praticità. Il salotto è uno spazio meraviglioso in ogni stagione, con un bellissimo camino in mattoni per le accoglienti serate invernali e una porta vetrata sul giardino per la primavera e l'estate. C'è anche uno studio che potrebbe essere utilizzato come ulteriore camera da letto al piano terra. Al piano superiore, le tre camere da letto sono ben servite da un bagno privato per il principale e un bagno di famiglia. L'ampio pianerottolo, con un affascinante comignolo in mattoni, è abbastanza grande da poter essere utilizzato come studio, biblioteca o area giochi. La posizione e i giardini sono altrettanto splendidi. La generosa trama ha vista sul campo, aree a prato aperto e un vialetto di ghiaia, con cancelli elettrici, che fornisce parcheggio e svolta. Tra il posto auto coperto e l'officina/capannone e la dependance separata, c'è un ampio deposito esterno. Il posto auto coperto è dotato di un caricabatterie per veicoli elettrici da 7KW di nuova installazione. L'abbondanza di esemplari di alberi maturi all'interno e intorno al terreno offre un eccezionale livello di privacy. La dependance con due camere da letto, situata lontano dalla casa, è stata un Airbnb di successo, ma sarebbe anche una casa permanente ideale per la famiglia anziana o allargata. "La Old Union House è stata la nostra amata casa di famiglia negli ultimi cinque anni. Originariamente costruita all'inizio del 1700, la casa vanta ancora caratteristiche d'epoca come i resti dei forni per il pane che un tempo cuocevano le pagnotte per nutrire i braccianti agricoli. Anche se la proprietà è stata restaurata con cura negli anni '70 dall'allora medico di base del villaggio, trasformandola in una casa di famiglia. I precedenti proprietari l'hanno ulteriormente modernizzata all'inizio degli anni 2000, e di nuovo da soli mentre siamo qui". "Ciò che inizialmente ci ha attirato alla Old Union House è stata la sua rarità e unicità. Conosciuta e ammirata da tutti nel villaggio, questa casa su Old Church Lane affascina tutti con il suo carattere e il suo fascino. "Il grande camino e la stufa a legna nel soggiorno sono stati il cuore della nostra casa, fungendo da punto focale per le riunioni di famiglia, le serate al cinema e le celebrazioni natalizie. La cucina interna ed esterna e il patio sono perfetti per intrattenere durante i mesi estivi. Abbiamo ospitato numerose festività stagionali, compleanni e battesimi tra la casa e il lodge, ospitando dozzine di ospiti e i loro cani per i nostri più grandi eventi familiari". "La vista dalla casa è mozzafiato, con infiniti campi di orzo e grano che si estendono fino a una quercia solitaria, dietro la quale il sole tramonta magnificamente nei mesi estivi. Mi mancherà molto guardare il raccolto estivo e svegliarmi con il bel coro degli uccelli ogni mattina". "Tra i principali lavori di ristrutturazione che abbiamo intrapreso c'è stata la ricostruzione delle ciminiere e la conversione di una stalla per il bestiame stanca in un posto auto coperto a due campate elegantemente rivestito e in una palestra domestica. Abbiamo anche dedicato molto tempo alla decorazione degli interni e al recupero di un giardino poco amato". "Situato alle porte della campagna del Cambridgeshire e del Greenwich Meridian Trail, l'unico traffico qui è costituito da dog sitter e trattori occasionali. La scuola del villaggio e il pub sono comodamente raggiungibili a piedi. "Essendo l'ultima casa sul viottolo, i nostri unici vicini sono i simpatici contadini dall'altra parte della strada, insieme a occasionali muntjac, conigli e scoiattoli. I nostri vicini sono stati fantastici e sono stati molto disposti a dare una mano quando necessario". "Il gruppo di gioco locale e la scuola elementare sono stati meravigliosi per i nostri due bambini piccoli, fornendo una porta d'accesso alla comunità locale. La nostra cerchia sociale è cresciuta fino a includere le mamme e i papà del villaggio, creando amicizie durature". "Mi mancherà così tanto della nostra casa che passa davanti alla lunga siepe di Leylandii, girando l'angolo, e sentire la ghiaia scricchiolare sotto i pneumatici mentre la vecchia casa di mattoni diventa visibile è un ricordo di cui farò sempre tesoro". Il piccolo villaggio storico di Colne si trova a circa 8 miglia a est di Huntingdon, 4 miglia a est di St Ives e 11 miglia a nord di Cambridge. All'interno del villaggio si trova una deliziosa chiesa, St Helens risalente al XIV secolo e si trova all'interno dell'area protetta, il Colne Parish Council e il pub del villaggio del XVII secolo, The Green Man, con il suo famoso ristorante.

The grounds contain a self-contained detached two bedroom annexe which, until recently, has been running as a successful Airbnb. The property is beautifully presented with modernised bathrooms and kitchen. Period features such as exposed beams and original fireplaces are found throughout the light-filled accommodation. The heart of this charming home is the kitchen/breakfast and dining room, offering the best of open plan and separate rooms. A brick inglenook with oak bressummer sits between the two spaces, boasting a wood-burning stove in the dining room and an Aga in the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen has been fitted with shaker-style units and granite work surfaces, with double doors opening onto the gardens. A large pantry provides superb storage, while an entrance hall offers plenty of space for coats and boots after enjoying the surrounding countryside. A utility cloakroom adds practicality. The drawing room is a wonderful space in any season, with a beautiful brick fireplace for cozy winter evenings and a glazed door to the garden for spring and summer. There is also a study that could be used as an additional bedroom on the ground floor.Upstairs, the three bedrooms are well served by an en suite to the principal and a family bathroom. The spacious landing, with a charming brick chimney breast, is large enough to be used as a study, library, or play area. The location and gardens are just as splendid. The generous plot has field views, open lawn areas, and a gravel drive, with electric gates, providing parking and turning. Between the carport and workshop/shed and separate outbuilding, there is ample outside storage. The carport is equipped with a newly installed 7KW electric vehicle charger. An abundance of mature specimen trees in and around the plot provide an exceptional level of privacy. The two-bedroom annexe, set away from the house, has been a successful Airbnb but would also make an ideal permanent home for older or extended family.Seller Insight
